util-linux build system
=======================
- all util-linux specific autoconf macros use UL_ prefix
- utils in Makefile.am files are enabled/disabled according to BUILD_<NAME>
conditions (AM_CONDITIONAL), for example:
if BUILD_HWCLOCK
...
endif
- "if BUILD_<NAME>" blocks are never nested within another "if BUILD_<NAME>",
all dependencies have to be resolved in configure.ac (see UL_REQUIRES_BUILD())
- all BUILD_<NAME> in configure.am are always based on build_<name> variables,
for example:
AM_CONDITIONAL([BUILD_HWCLOCK], test "x$build_hwclock" = xyes)
the $build_<name> should be available in whole configure script
- AC_ARG_ENABLE() status is always stored in $enable_<name> variable, possible
setting:
"check" - util/feature is optional, if any subcomponent (function, lib,
...) is missing a warning is printed and the util/feature is
disabled
"yes" - util/feature is required, if any subcomponent (function, lib,
...) is missing an error is printed and ./configure aborted
"no" - the util/feature is unwanted
- some basic scenarios for the ./configure script are defined in the
tools/config-gen.d/ directory. If you want to use these predefined scenarios
then call
./tools/config-gen [<scenario> ...]
for example
./tools/config-gen all selinux
will build all utils with enabled selinux support. You can also define some
CFLAGS, for example:
CFLAGS=$(rpm --eval '%optflags') ./tools/config-gen all
will use the default distro flags.
WARNING: config-gen is not designed for end-user or downstream distributions!
It's for development purpose only. All end-users and downstream have
to use standard ./configure script only.
- the tools/config-gen script is also used for build system regression tests,
the test is not enabled by default, you have to use
tests/run.sh build-sys --force
