Each recipe consists of 3 main parts: defining identifiers, setting build
variables, and defining build commands.
The package "mylib" will be used here as an example
General tips:
mylib_foo is written as $(package)_foo in order to make recipes more similar.
Identifiers:
Each package is required to define at least these variables:
$(package)_version:
Version of the upstream library or program. 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. For example:
Universal: $(package)_cc=gcc
Linux only: $(package)_linux_cc=gcc
x86_64 only: $(package)_x86_64_cc = gcc
x86_64 linux only: $(package)_x86_64_linux_cc = gcc
These variables may be set to override or append their default values.
$(package)_cc
$(package)_cxx
$(package)_objc
$(package)_objcxx
$(package)_ar
$(package)_ranlib
$(package)_libtool
$(package)_nm
$(package)_cflags
$(package)_cxxflags
$(package)_ldflags
$(package)_cppflags
$(package)_config_env
$(package)_build_env
$(package)_stage_env
The *_env variables are used to add environment variables to the respective
commands.
Other variables may be defined as needed.
Build commands:
For each build, a unique build dir and staging dir are created. For example,
work/build/mylib/1.0-1adac830f6e and work/staging/mylib/1.0-1adac830f6e.
The following build commands are available for each recipe:
$(package)_fetch_cmds:
Runs from: build dir
Fetch the source file. If undefined, it will be fetched and verified
against its hash.
$(package)_extract_cmds:
Runs from: build dir
Verify the source file against its hash and extract it. If undefined, the
source is assumed to be a tarball.
$(package)_preprocess_cmds:
Runs from: build dir/$(package)_build_subdir
Preprocess the source as necessary. If undefined, does nothing.
$(package)_config_cmds:
Runs from: build dir/$(package)_build_subdir
Configure the source. If undefined, does nothing.
$(package)_build_cmds:
Runs from: build dir/$(package)_build_subdir
Build the source. If undefined, does nothing.
$(package)_stage_cmds:
Runs from: build dir/$(package)_build_subdir
Stage the build results. If undefined, does nothing.
The following variables are available for each recipe:
$(1)_staging_dir: package's destination sysroot path
$(1)_staging_prefix_dir: prefix path inside of the package's staging dir
$(1)_extract_dir: path to the package's extracted sources
$(1)_build_dir: path where configure/build/stage commands will be run
$(1)_patch_dir: path where the package's patches (if any) are found
Notes on build commands:
For packages built with autotools, $($(package)_autoconf) can be used in the
configure step to (usually) correctly configure automatically. Any
$($(package)_config_opts) will be appended.
Most autotools projects can be properly staged using:
$(MAKE) DESTDIR=$($(package)_staging_dir) install
