If there is no version, a + placeholder such as 1.0 can be used. + $(package)_download_path: + Location of the upstream source, without the file-name. Usually http or + ftp. + $(package)_file_name: + The upstream source filename available at the download path. + $(package)_sha256_hash: + The sha256 hash of the upstream file + +These variables are optional: + $(package)_build_subdir: + cd to this dir before running configure/build/stage commands. + $(package)_download_file: + The file-name of the upstream source if it differs from how it should be + stored locally. This can be used to avoid storing file-names with strange + characters. + $(package)_dependencies: + Names of any other packages that this one depends on. + $(package)_patches: + Filenames of any patches needed to build the package + + +Build Variables: +After defining the main identifiers, build variables may be added or customized +before running the build commands. They should be added to a function called +$(package)_set_vars. For example: + +define $(package)_set_vars +... +endef + +Most variables can be prefixed with the host, architecture, or both, to make +the modifications specific to that case.
