By 'packages with specific build systems' we mean all the packages
|
|
|
|
whose build system is not one of the standard ones, such as
|
|
|
|
'autotools' or 'CMake'. This typically includes packages whose build
|
|
|
|
system is based on hand-written Makefiles or shell scripts.

2013-02-25 12:31:31 +01:00
|
|
|
The Makefile begins on line 7 to 11 with metadata information: the
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
version of the package (+LIBFOO_VERSION+), the name of the
|
2013-09-06 08:14:15 +02:00
|
|
|
tarball containing the package (+LIBFOO_SOURCE+) (xz-ed tarball recommended)
|
|
|
|
the Internet location at which the tarball can be downloaded from
|
2012-12-30 11:47:21 +01:00
|
|
|
(+LIBFOO_SITE+), the license (+LIBFOO_LICENSE+) and file with the
|
|
|
|
license text (+LIBFOO_LICENSE_FILES+). All variables must start with
|
|
|
|
the same prefix, +LIBFOO_+ in this case. This prefix is always the
|
|
|
|
uppercased version of the package name (see below to understand where
|
|
|
|
the package name is defined).
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2013-02-25 12:31:31 +01:00
|
|
|
On line 12, we specify that this package wants to install something to
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
the staging space. This is often needed for libraries, since they must
|
|
|
|
install header files and other development files in the staging space.
|
|
|
|
This will ensure that the commands listed in the
|
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS+ variable will be executed.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-02-25 12:31:31 +01:00
|
|
|
On line 13, we specify that there is some fixing to be done to some
|
2013-01-30 03:46:40 +01:00
|
|
|
of the 'libfoo-config' files that were installed during
|
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS+ phase.
|
|
|
|
These *-config files are executable shell script files that are
|
|
|
|
located in '$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin' directory and are executed
|
|
|
|
by other 3rd party packages to find out the location and the linking
|
|
|
|
flags of this particular package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The problem is that all these *-config files by default give wrong,
|
|
|
|
host system linking flags that are unsuitable for cross-compiling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example: '-I/usr/include' instead of '-I$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/include'
|
|
|
|
or: '-L/usr/lib' instead of '-L$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So some sed magic is done to these scripts to make them give correct
|
|
|
|
flags.
|
2013-02-07 13:35:03 +01:00
|
|
|
The argument to be given to +LIBFOO_CONFIG_SCRIPTS+ is the file name(s)
|
2013-01-30 03:46:40 +01:00
|
|
|
of the shell script(s) needing fixing. All these names are relative to
|
|
|
|
'$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin' and if needed multiple names can be given.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-02-07 13:35:04 +01:00
|
|
|
In addition, the scripts listed in +LIBFOO_CONFIG_SCRIPTS+ are removed
|
|
|
|
from +$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/bin+, since they are not needed on the target.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-08-09 12:16:48 +02:00
|
|
|
.Config script: 'divine' package
|
|
|
|
================================
|
2013-01-30 03:46:40 +01:00
|
|
|
Package divine installs shell script '$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/divine-config'.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-08-09 12:16:48 +02:00
|
|
|
So its fixup would be:
|
2013-01-30 03:46:40 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2013-08-09 12:16:48 +02:00
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|

|
|
|
DIVINE_CONFIG_SCRIPTS = divine-config
|
2013-08-09 12:16:48 +02:00
|

|
|
|
|
================================
|
2013-01-30 03:46:40 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2013-08-09 12:16:48 +02:00
|
|
|
.Config script: 'imagemagick' package:
|
|
|
|
================================
|
2013-01-30 03:46:40 +01:00
|
|
|
Package imagemagick installs the following scripts:
|
|
|
|
'$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/{Magick,Magick++,MagickCore,MagickWand,Wand}-config'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So it's fixup would be:
|
|
|
|
|
2013-08-09 12:16:48 +02:00
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|
2013-02-07 13:35:03 +01:00
|
|
|
IMAGEMAGICK_CONFIG_SCRIPTS = \
|
|
|
|
Magick-config Magick++-config \
|
|
|
|

|
2013-08-09 12:16:48 +02:00
|

--------------------------------
|
|

================================
|
2013-01-30 03:46:40 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2013-02-25 12:31:31 +01:00
|
|
|
On line 14, we specify the list of dependencies this package relies
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
on. These dependencies are listed in terms of lower-case package names,
|
|
|
|
which can be packages for the target (without the +host-+
|
|
|
|
prefix) or packages for the host (with the +host-+) prefix).
|
|
|
|
Buildroot will ensure that all these packages are built and installed
|
|
|
|
'before' the current package starts its configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-02-25 12:31:31 +01:00
|
|
|
The rest of the Makefile, lines 16..29, defines what should be done
|
2012-12-30 11:47:21 +01:00
|
|
|
at the different steps of the package configuration, compilation and
|
|
|
|
installation.
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_BUILD_CMDS+ tells what steps should be performed to
|
|
|
|
build the package. +LIBFOO_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS+ tells what
|
|
|
|
steps should be performed to install the package in the staging space.
|
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS+ tells what steps should be
|
|
|
|
performed to install the package in the target space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All these steps rely on the +$(@D)+ variable, which
|
|
|
|
contains the directory where the source code of the package has been
|
|
|
|
extracted.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-02-25 12:31:31 +01:00
|
|
|
On line 31..33, we define a device-node file used by this package
|
2012-12-30 11:47:21 +01:00
|
|
|
(+LIBFOO_DEVICES+).
|
|
|
|
|
2013-02-25 12:31:31 +01:00
|
|
|
On line 35..37, we define the permissions to set to specific files
|
2012-12-30 11:47:21 +01:00
|
|
|
installed by this package (+LIBFOO_PERMISSIONS+).
|
|
|
|
|
2013-04-12 09:14:18 +02:00
|
|
|
On lines 39..41, we define a user that is used by this package (eg.
|
|
|
|
to run a daemon as non-root) (+LIBFOO_USERS+).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, on line 43, we call the +generic-package+ function, which
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
generates, according to the variables defined previously, all the
|
|
|
|
Makefile code necessary to make your package working.

+generic-package+ Reference
|
2012-11-11 04:14:42 +01:00
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2012-07-03 00:07:08 +02:00
|
|
|
There are two variants of the generic target. The +generic-package+ macro is
|
2012-07-03 00:05:46 +02:00
|
|
|
used for packages to be cross-compiled for the target. The
|
|
|
|
+host-generic-package+ macro is used for host packages, natively compiled
|
|
|
|
for the host. It is possible to call both of them in a single +.mk+
|
|
|
|
file: once to create the rules to generate a target
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
package and once to create the rules to generate a host package:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
2012-07-03 00:07:08 +02:00
|
|
|
$(eval $(generic-package))
|
2012-07-03 00:05:46 +02:00
|
|
|
$(eval $(host-generic-package))
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This might be useful if the compilation of the target package requires
|
|
|
|
some tools to be installed on the host. If the package name is
|
|
|
|
+libfoo+, then the name of the package for the target is also
|
|
|
|
+libfoo+, while the name of the package for the host is
|
|
|
|
+host-libfoo+. These names should be used in the DEPENDENCIES
|
|
|
|
variables of other packages, if they depend on +libfoo+ or
|
|
|
|
+host-libfoo+.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-07-03 00:07:08 +02:00
|
|
|
The call to the +generic-package+ and/or +host-generic-package+ macro *must* be
|
2012-07-03 00:05:46 +02:00
|
|
|
at the end of the +.mk+ file, after all variable definitions.
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2012-07-03 00:07:08 +02:00
|
|
|
For the target package, the +generic-package+ uses the variables defined by
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
the .mk file and prefixed by the uppercased package name:
|
2012-07-03 00:05:46 +02:00
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_*+. +host-generic-package+ uses the +HOST_LIBFOO_*+ variables. For
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
'some' variables, if the +HOST_LIBFOO_+ prefixed variable doesn't
|
|
|
|
exist, the package infrastructure uses the corresponding variable
|
|
|
|
prefixed by +LIBFOO_+. This is done for variables that are likely to
|
|
|
|
have the same value for both the target and host packages. See below
|
|
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The list of variables that can be set in a +.mk+ file to give metadata
|
|
|
|
information is (assuming the package name is +libfoo+) :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_VERSION+, mandatory, must contain the version of the
|
|
|
|
package. Note that if +HOST_LIBFOO_VERSION+ doesn't exist, it is
|
|
|
|
assumed to be the same as +LIBFOO_VERSION+. It can also be a
|
2012-02-06 21:41:08 +01:00
|
|
|
revision number, branch or tag for packages that are fetched
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
directly from their revision control system. +
|
2012-02-06 21:41:08 +01:00
|
|
|
Examples: +
|
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_VERSION = 0.1.2+ +
|
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_VERSION = cb9d6aa9429e838f0e54faa3d455bcbab5eef057+ +
|
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_VERSION = stable+
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_SOURCE+ may contain the name of the tarball of
|
|
|
|
the package. If +HOST_LIBFOO_SOURCE+ is not specified, it
|
2011-11-22 18:55:16 +01:00
|
|
|
defaults to +LIBFOO_SOURCE+. If none are specified, then
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
the value is assumed to be
|
|
|
|
+packagename-$(LIBFOO_VERSION).tar.gz+. +
|
|
|
|
Example: +LIBFOO_SOURCE = foobar-$(LIBFOO_VERSION).tar.bz2+
|
|
|
|
|
2013-01-06 06:22:42 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_PATCH+ may contain a space-separated list of patch file
|
|
|
|
names, that will be downloaded from the same location as the tarball
|
|
|
|
indicated in +LIBFOO_SOURCE+, and then applied to the package source
|
|
|
|
code. If +HOST_LIBFOO_PATCH+ is not specified, it defaults to
|
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_PATCH+. Note that patches that are included in Buildroot
|
|
|
|
itself use a different mechanism: all files of the form
|
|
|
|
+<packagename>-*.patch+ present in the package directory inside
|
2012-11-27 12:59:17 +01:00
|
|
|
Buildroot will be applied to the package after extraction (see
|
2013-01-06 06:22:42 +01:00
|
|
|
xref:patch-policy[patching a package]). Finally, patches listed in
|
|
|
|
the +LIBFOO_PATCH+ variable are applied _before_ the patches stored
|
|
|
|
in the Buildroot package directory.
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2012-06-17 13:53:59 +02:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_SITE+ provides the location of the package, which can be a
|
|
|
|
URL or a local filesystem path. HTTP, FTP and SCP are supported URL
|
|
|
|
types for retrieving package tarballs. Git, Subversion, Mercurial,
|
|
|
|
and Bazaar are supported URL types for retrieving packages directly
|
|
|
|
from source code management systems. A filesystem path may be used
|
|
|
|
to specify either a tarball or a directory containing the package
|
|
|
|
source code. See +LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD+ below for more details on how
|
|
|
|
retrieval works. +
|
|
|
|
Note that SCP URLs should be of the form
|
|
|
|
+scp://[user@]host:filepath+, and that filepath is relative to the
|
|
|
|
user's home directory, so you may want to prepend the path with a
|
|
|
|
slash for absolute paths:
|
2012-02-06 21:41:08 +01:00
|
|
|
+scp://[user@]host:/absolutepath+. +
|
|
|
|
If +HOST_LIBFOO_SITE+ is not specified, it defaults to
|
2012-11-07 00:10:43 +01:00
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_SITE+.
|
2012-02-06 21:41:08 +01:00

|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS+ lists a number of additional files that
|
|
|
|
Buildroot should download from +LIBFOO_SITE+ in addition to the main
|
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_SOURCE+ (which usually is a tarball). Buildroot will not do
|
|
|
|
anything with those additional files, except download files: it will
|
|
|
|
be up to the package recipe to use them from +$(DL_DIR)+.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-06-17 13:54:00 +02:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD+ determines the method used to fetch or copy the
|
|
|
|
package source code. In many cases, Buildroot guesses the method
|
|
|
|
from the contents of +LIBFOO_SITE+ and setting +LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD+
|
|
|
|
is unnecessary. When +HOST_LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD+ is not specified, it
|
|
|
|
defaults to the value of +LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD+. +
|
|
|
|
The possible values of +LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD+ are:
|
|
|
|
** +wget+ for normal FTP/HTTP downloads of tarballs. Used by
|
|
|
|
default when +LIBFOO_SITE+ begins with +http://+, +https://+ or
|
|
|
|
+ftp://+.
|
|
|
|
** +scp+ for downloads of tarballs over SSH with scp. Used by
|
|
|
|
default when +LIBFOO_SITE+ begins with +scp://+.
|
|
|
|
** +svn+ for retrieving source code from a Subversion repository.
|
|
|
|
Used by default when +LIBFOO_SITE+ begins with +svn://+. When a
|
|
|
|
+http://+ Subversion repository URL is specified in
|
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_SITE+, one 'must' specify +LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD=svn+.
|
|
|
|
Buildroot performs a checkout which is preserved as a tarball in
|
|
|
|
the download cache; subsequent builds use the tarball instead of
|
|
|
|
performing another checkout.
|
2013-09-11 14:12:05 +02:00
|
|
|
** +cvs+ for retrieving source code from a CVS repository.
|
|
|
|
Used by default when +LIBFOO_SITE+ begins with +cvs://+.
|
|
|
|
The downloaded source code is cached as with the +svn+ method.
|
|
|
|
Only anonymous pserver mode is supported.
|
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_SITE+ 'must' contain the source URL as well as the remote
|
|
|
|
repository directory. The module is the package name.
|
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_VERSION+ is 'mandatory' and 'must' be a timestamp.
|
2012-06-17 13:54:00 +02:00
|
|
|
** +git+ for retrieving source code from a Git repository. Used by
|
|
|
|
default when +LIBFOO_SITE+ begins with +git://+. The downloaded
|
|
|
|
source code is cached as with the +svn+
|
|
|
|
method.
|
|
|
|
** +hg+ for retrieving source code from a Mercurial repository. One
|
|
|
|
'must' specify +LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD=hg+ when +LIBFOO_SITE+
|
|
|
|
contains a Mercurial repository URL. The downloaded source code
|
|
|
|
is cached as with the +svn+ method.
|
|
|
|
** +bzr+ for retrieving source code from a Bazaar repository. Used
|
|
|
|
by default when +LIBFOO_SITE+ begins with +bzr://+. The
|
|
|
|
downloaded source code is cached as with the +svn+ method.
|
2012-06-17 13:54:01 +02:00
|
|
|
** +file+ for a local tarball. One should use this when
|
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_SITE+ specifies a package tarball as a local filename.
|
|
|
|
Useful for software that isn't available publicly or in version
|
|
|
|
control.
|
|
|
|
** +local+ for a local source code directory. One should use this
|
|
|
|
when +LIBFOO_SITE+ specifies a local directory path containing
|
|
|
|
the package source code. Buildroot copies the contents of the
|
|
|
|
source directory into the package's build directory.
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_DEPENDENCIES+ lists the dependencies (in terms of package
|
|
|
|
name) that are required for the current target package to
|
|
|
|
compile. These dependencies are guaranteed to be compiled and
|
|
|
|
installed before the configuration of the current package starts. In
|
2012-11-27 12:59:16 +01:00
|
|
|
a similar way, +HOST_LIBFOO_DEPENDENCIES+ lists the dependencies for
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
the current host package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_INSTALL_STAGING+ can be set to +YES+ or +NO+ (default). If
|
|
|
|
set to +YES+, then the commands in the +LIBFOO_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS+
|
|
|
|
variables are executed to install the package into the staging
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_INSTALL_TARGET+ can be set to +YES+ (default) or +NO+. If
|
|
|
|
set to +YES+, then the commands in the +LIBFOO_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS+
|
|
|
|
variables are executed to install the package into the target
|
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-02-07 13:35:03 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_CONFIG_SCRIPTS+ lists the names of the files in
|
2013-01-30 03:46:40 +01:00
|
|
|
'$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin' that need some special fixing to make them
|
2013-02-07 13:35:03 +01:00
|
|
|
cross-compiling friendly. Multiple file names separated by space can
|
2013-02-07 13:35:04 +01:00
|
|
|
be given and all are relative to '$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin'. The files
|
|
|
|
listed in +LIBFOO_CONFIG_SCRIPTS+ are also removed from
|
|
|
|
+$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/bin+ since they are not needed on the target.
|

|
|
|
|
2012-01-11 18:53:41 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_DEVICES+ lists the device files to be created by Buildroot
|
|
|
|
when using the static device table. The syntax to use is the
|
2012-02-18 00:30:58 +01:00
|
|
|
makedevs one. You can find some documentation for this syntax in the
|
|
|
|
xref:makedev-syntax[]. This variable is optional.
|
2012-01-11 18:53:41 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_PERMISSIONS+ lists the changes of permissions to be done at
|
|
|
|
the end of the build process. The syntax is once again the makedevs one.
|
2012-02-18 00:30:58 +01:00
|
|
|
You can find some documentation for this syntax in the xref:makedev-syntax[].
|
|
|
|
This variable is optional.
|
2012-01-11 18:53:41 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2013-04-12 09:14:18 +02:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_USERS+ lists the users to create for this package, if it installs
|
|
|
|
a program you want to run as a specific user (eg. as a daemon, or as a
|
|
|
|
cron-job). The syntax is similar in spirit to the makedevs one, and is
|
|
|
|
described in the xref:makeuser-syntax[]. This variable is optional.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-05-17 19:33:07 +02:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_LICENSE+ defines the license (or licenses) under which the package
|
|
|
|
is released.
|
|
|
|
This name will appear in the manifest file produced by +make legal-info+.
|
2012-11-11 04:14:58 +01:00
|
|
|
If the license appears in xref:legal-info-list-licenses[the following list],
|
2012-05-17 19:33:07 +02:00
|
|
|
use the same string to make the manifest file uniform.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, describe the license in a precise and concise way, avoiding
|
|
|
|
ambiguous names such as +BSD+ which actually name a family of licenses.
|
|
|
|
This variable is optional. If it is not defined, +unknown+ will appear in
|
|
|
|
the +license+ field of the manifest file for this package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_LICENSE_FILES+ is a space-separated list of files in the package
|
|
|
|
tarball that contain the license(s) under which the package is released.
|
|
|
|
+make legal-info+ copies all of these files in the +legal-info+ directory.
|
|
|
|
See xref:legal-info[] for more information.
|
|
|
|
This variable is optional. If it is not defined, a warning will be produced
|
|
|
|
to let you know, and +not saved+ will appear in the +license files+ field
|
|
|
|
of the manifest file for this package.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-11-27 12:59:17 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_REDISTRIBUTE+ can be set to +YES+ (default) or +NO+ to indicate if
|
|
|
|
the package source code is allowed to be redistributed. Set it to +NO+ for
|
|
|
|
non-opensource packages: Buildroot will not save the source code for this
|
|
|
|
package when collecting the +legal-info+.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-06-06 00:47:30 +02:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_FLAT_STACKSIZE+ defines the stack size of an application built into
|
|
|
|
the FLAT binary format. The application stack size on the NOMMU architecture
|
|
|
|
processors can't be enlarged at run time. The default stack size for the
|
|
|
|
FLAT binary format is only 4k bytes. If the application consumes more stack,
|
|
|
|
append the required number here.
|
|
|
|
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
The recommended way to define these variables is to use the following
|
|
|
|
syntax:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
LIBFOO_VERSION = 2.32
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, the variables that define what should be performed at the
|
|
|
|
different steps of the build process.
|
|
|
|
|
2013-08-06 23:36:20 +02:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_EXTRACT_CMDS+ lists the actions to be performed to extract
|
|
|
|
the package. This is generally not needed as tarballs are
|
|
|
|
automatically handled by Buildroot. However, if the package uses a
|
|
|
|
non-standard archive format, such as a ZIP or RAR file, or has a
|
|
|
|
tarball with a non-standard organization, this variable allows to
|
|
|
|
override the package infrastructure default behavior.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-11-27 12:59:16 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_CONFIGURE_CMDS+ lists the actions to be performed to
|
|
|
|
configure the package before its compilation.
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2012-11-27 12:59:16 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_BUILD_CMDS+ lists the actions to be performed to
|
|
|
|
compile the package.
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2012-11-27 12:59:16 +01:00
|
|
|
* +HOST_LIBFOO_INSTALL_CMDS+ lists the actions to be performed
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
to install the package, when the package is a host package. The
|
|
|
|
package must install its files to the directory given by
|
|
|
|
+$(HOST_DIR)+. All files, including development files such as
|
|
|
|
headers should be installed, since other packages might be compiled
|
|
|
|
on top of this package.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-11-27 12:59:16 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS+ lists the actions to be
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
performed to install the package to the target directory, when the
|
|
|
|
package is a target package. The package must install its files to
|
|
|
|
the directory given by +$(TARGET_DIR)+. Only the files required for
|
2012-11-27 12:59:17 +01:00
|
|
|
'execution' of the package have to be
|
|
|
|
installed. Header files, static libraries and documentation will be
|
|
|
|
removed again when the target filesystem is finalized.
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2012-11-27 12:59:16 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS+ lists the actions to be
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
performed to install the package to the staging directory, when the
|
|
|
|
package is a target package. The package must install its files to
|
|
|
|
the directory given by +$(STAGING_DIR)+. All development files
|
|
|
|
should be installed, since they might be needed to compile other
|
|
|
|
packages.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-11-27 12:59:16 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_CLEAN_CMDS+, lists the actions to perform to clean up
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
the build directory of the package.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-11-27 12:59:16 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_UNINSTALL_TARGET_CMDS+ lists the actions to
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
uninstall the package from the target directory +$(TARGET_DIR)+
|
|
|
|
|
2012-11-27 12:59:16 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_UNINSTALL_STAGING_CMDS+ lists the actions to
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
uninstall the package from the staging directory +$(STAGING_DIR)+.
|
|
|
|
|
2012-11-27 12:59:16 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_INSTALL_INIT_SYSV+ and +LIBFOO_INSTALL_INIT_SYSTEMD+ list the
|
|
|
|
actions to install init scripts either for the systemV-like init systems
|
2012-07-28 09:21:22 +02:00
|
|
|
(busybox, sysvinit, etc.) or for the systemd units. These commands
|
|
|
|
will be run only when the relevant init system is installed (i.e. if
|
|
|
|
systemd is selected as the init system in the configuration, only
|
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_INSTALL_INIT_SYSTEMD+ will be run).
|
|
|
|
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
The preferred way to define these variables is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
define LIBFOO_CONFIGURE_CMDS
|
|
|
|
action 1
|
|
|
|
action 2
|
|
|
|
action 3
|
|
|
|
endef
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the action definitions, you can use the following variables:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* +$(@D)+, which contains the directory in which the package source
|
|
|
|
code has been uncompressed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* +$(TARGET_CC)+, +$(TARGET_LD)+, etc. to get the target
|
|
|
|
cross-compilation utilities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* +$(TARGET_CROSS)+ to get the cross-compilation toolchain prefix
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Of course the +$(HOST_DIR)+, +$(STAGING_DIR)+ and +$(TARGET_DIR)+
|
|
|
|
variables to install the packages properly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The last feature of the generic infrastructure is the ability to add
|
|
|
|
hooks. These define further actions to perform after existing steps.
|
|
|
|
Most hooks aren't really useful for generic packages, since the +.mk+
|
|
|
|
file already has full control over the actions performed in each step
|
|
|
|
of the package construction. The hooks are more useful for packages
|
|
|
|
using the autotools infrastructure described below. However, since
|
|
|
|
they are provided by the generic infrastructure, they are documented
|
|
|
|
here. The exception is +LIBFOO_POST_PATCH_HOOKS+. Patching the
|
2012-11-03 07:52:16 +01:00
|
|
|
package and producing legal info are not user definable, so
|
2012-11-27 12:59:16 +01:00
|
|
|
+LIBFOO_POST_PATCH_HOOKS+ and +LIBFOO_POST_LEGAL_INFO_HOOKS+ are
|
|
|
|
useful for generic packages.
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following hook points are available:
|
|
|
|
|
2012-11-25 07:43:37 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_POST_DOWNLOAD_HOOKS+
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_POST_EXTRACT_HOOKS+
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_PRE_PATCH_HOOKS+
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_POST_PATCH_HOOKS+
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_PRE_CONFIGURE_HOOKS+
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_POST_CONFIGURE_HOOKS+
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_POST_BUILD_HOOKS+
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_POST_INSTALL_HOOKS+ (for host packages only)
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_POST_INSTALL_STAGING_HOOKS+ (for target packages only)
|
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_POST_INSTALL_TARGET_HOOKS+ (for target packages only)
|
2012-11-03 07:52:16 +01:00
|
|
|
* +LIBFOO_POST_LEGAL_INFO_HOOKS+
|
2011-10-10 10:46:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These variables are 'lists' of variable names containing actions to be
|
|
|
|
performed at this hook point. This allows several hooks to be
|
|
|
|
registered at a given hook point. Here is an example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
define LIBFOO_POST_PATCH_FIXUP
|
|
|
|
action1
|
|
|
|
action2
|
|
|
|
endef
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LIBFOO_POST_PATCH_HOOKS += LIBFOO_POST_PATCH_FIXUP
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
