bs - build system
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
bs is an attempt at a fast and reliable build system that will let
|
||
|
|
developers build mpd without having to deal with the complexity of
|
||
|
|
autotools. It is still a work in progress, but it seems to be
|
||
|
|
reasonably usable (to developers) and fast.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is designed from the ground up to work with cross-compilation, as well as
|
||
|
|
multiple build targets/configurations from the same source tree (using the O
|
||
|
|
variable).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is NOT intended to replace autotools for distribution maintainers
|
||
|
|
or end users who are satisfied with autotools.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# To build mpd in a directory "output"
|
||
|
|
./build.mk O=output defconfig
|
||
|
|
$EDITOR output/config.mk
|
||
|
|
./build.mk O=output
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FEATURES
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Designed for cross-compilation from the ground up
|
||
|
|
* Designed to easily handle multiple build directories from the same source
|
||
|
|
tree. Just set the O variable when invoking make (see synopsis).
|
||
|
|
* Automatic dependency analysis (if using GCC)
|
||
|
|
* Highly configurable (no auto-detection of dependencies to get wrong)
|
||
|
|
* Simple, no archaic M4 macros or unreadable auto-generated shell or makefiles
|
||
|
|
just human-maintained GNU Make and POSIX shell.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
config.mk
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the configuration file a user should edit if they wish to
|
||
|
|
enable/disable features or tune settings. Once created, this
|
||
|
|
will NOT be modified by the build system, so user settings will
|
||
|
|
always be preserved.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
VARIABLES
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These are conventions, not hard and fast rules (as there's no good way to
|
||
|
|
enforce them :)
|
||
|
|
mixed-case or lower-case variables are used by bs internally.
|
||
|
|
ALL_CAPS variables are designed to be changed by users.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
REQUIREMENTS
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GNU Make, POSIX shell + common UNIX tools (awk, sed, mv, rm, mkdir).
|
||
|
|
git (version control system) is only required if you wish to autodownload
|
||
|
|
external dependencies (flac, tremor, mad, etc...) for static linking.
|
||
|

||

BUGS
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Modifications to config.mk will over-rebuild.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Changes to CFLAGS/LDFLAGS from the command-line are not yet checked in
|
||
|
|
rebuilds.
