Usage
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the root of the 'libports' repository, there is 'Makefile' automating the
|
||
|
|
task of downloading and preparing the library source codes. By just typing
|
||
|
|
'make', you get an overview of the available libraries and further
|
||
|
|
instructions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the common case, you might just want to prepare all packages by issuing:
|
||
|
|
! make prepare
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, you can select individual packages to prepare by specifying
|
||
|
|
their base names (without the version number) as command-line argument. For
|
||
|
|
example, the following command prepares both the C library and the Freetype
|
||
|
|
library:
|
||
|
|
! make prepare PKG="libc freetype"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After having prepared the 'libports' repository, you are ready to include the
|
||
|
|
repository into the build process by appending it to the 'REPOSITORIES'
|
||
|
|
declaration of your '<build-dir>/etc/build.conf' file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Under the hood
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For each library, there is a file contained in the 'libports/ports/'
|
||
|
|
subdirectory. The file is named after the library and contains the
|
||
|
|
library-specific rules for downloading the source code and installing header
|
||
|
|
files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How does 'libports' relate to the other repositories?
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most libraries hosted in the 'libports' repository expect a complete C library,
|
||
|
|
which is provided with the 'libc' package. Please do not forget to prepare the
|
||
|
|
libc package when using any of the other libports packages. The libc, in turn,
|
||
|
|
depends on the 'os' repository for its back end. Because the 'os' repository is
|
||
|
|
the home of the dynamic linker, libraries contained in 'libports' are safe to
|
||
|
|
assume the presence of the dynamic linker and, thus, should be built as shared
|
||
|
|
libraries.
