Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The tool './tool/ports/prepare_port' in the toplevel directory automates the
|
|
task of downloading and preparing the library source codes. You can select
|
|
individual packages that have to be prepared 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:
|
|
! ./tool/ports/prepare_port libc freetype
|
|
|
|
To compile and link against 3rd-party libraries of the 'libports' repository,
|
|
you have 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.
