This patch changes the 'Timestamp' type of the VFS and file-system session to an unsigned 64-bit value holding the number of milliseconds since the UNIX epoch (beginning of 1970). The special case of an invalid timestamp has been removed as it was never consistently handled anyway. In contrast to the POSIX timespec, which represents tv_sec and tv_nsec both as signed values, this patch uses an unsigned value because the interpretation of negative tv_sec and tv_nsec values is muddy. Hypothetical modification times older that 1970 are capped at 1970. Fixes #3511
This directory contains ports of 3rd-party libraries to Genode. Usage ----- The tool './tool/ports/prepare_port' in the toplevel directory automates the task of downloading and preparing the 3rd-party source codes. One can select individual ports 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 via the 'libc' port. The libc, in turn, depends on the 'os' repository for its back end.
