How To Install teckit on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install teckit on CentOS 8.
What is teckit
TECkit is a low-level toolkit intended to be used by other applications that need to perform encoding conversions (e.g., when importing legacy data into a Unicode-based application). The primary component of the TECkit package is therefore a library that performs conversions; this is the “TECkit engine”. The engine relies on mapping tables in a specific binary format (for which documentation is available); there is a compiler that creates such tables from a human-readable mapping description (a simple text file). teckit 2.5.8 1.el8 x86_64 392 k teckit-2.5.8-1.el8.src.rpm appstream Conversion library and mapping compiler http LGPLv2+ or CPL TECkit is a low-level toolkit intended to be used by other applications that need to perform encoding conversions (e.g., when importing legacy data into a Unicode-based application).
