COMMENT_ARCHCPUOPT
In this section you are able to select the architecture, the CPU and
whether you are cross-building/porting to another architecture.
COMMENT_TARGET
In this section you can select which distribution target you would like
to use.
COMMENT_LICENSE
This distribution may contain software that is not publicly
distributable. Please check the following to testify that you
are aware of this fact.
SDECFG_LICENSE_ISSUE
The user of the Open System Development Environment (OpenSDE) is
responsible for himself to verify that packages that carry a
limitation for re-distribution are not redistributed in any form
(e.g. ISOs).
The developers of the OpenSDE deny any responsibility for mis-use
of these packages.
COMMENT_BUILD_SYS_CONF
Here you can set some basic options for our beautifull distribution
build system.
SDECFG_ARCH
This options controls the target architecture like alpha, ia64, mips,
ppc, sparc or x86.
SDECFG_CROSSBUILD
This option needs to be selected to perform a cross-build to another
architecture.
SDECFG_TARGET
Please select the Target you want to build.
SDECFG_PARALLEL_MAX
This option specifes the amount of parallel build jobs that are tried
to be kept active. This option is used by make and scons - and should
also be defined when you use distcc to perform distributed builds.
SDECFG_CONTINUE_ON_ERROR_AFTER
The build will continue after a package build error only on an stage
greater than the value selected
SDECFG_RETRY_BROKEN
This options controls whether the Build-System should try to build a
package that has not built flawlessly during the last build.
SDECFG_ALWAYS_CLEAN
When a package built flawlessly then the temporary directory which was
used for building is deleted. Select this options if you also want this
cleanup for packages with build error. (This safes disk-space but makes
debugging hard ...)
SDECFG_XTRACE
Please check here if you want additional (debug)-output in the build
log-files.
SDECFG_SRC_TMPFS
Check here if you want package builds to use tmpfs instead of the regular
filesystem.
SDECFG_SRC_TMPFS_OPT
Please enter the tmpfs mount options here. For example:
size=800M,nr_inodes=100k
will mount an 800 Megabyte tmp-filesystem with 100,000 inodes.
size=4G,nr_inodes=500k
will mount a 4 Gigabyte tmp-filesystem with 500,000 inodes.
Please make sure that the filesystem is big enough to hold
- package-sources (unpacked)
- compile-time binaries
- and the binary package
The filesystem size also must not be so big as to hog all your RAM or
else your system might crash or start swapping.
SDECFG_SRC_TMPFS_LOG
Please enter the path to the tmpfs-logfile.
SDECFG_EXPERT
This button will enable a lot of additional configuration options.
Some of these will make small changes to what the system will look
like while others will have a huge impact on performance, stability
and usability of the final system.
Don't touch these if you don't know what you are doing.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
SDECFG_PKGFILE_TYPE
The option allows to control the binary package format to be created.
The default is to create an ordenary .tar.bz2 - but tar.gz or .gem
are also among the options.
SDECFG_PKGFILE_VER
If selected the package version number will be added to the binary
package filenme.
SDECFG_PKGSEL
If selected you can modify the package list for the build.
MENU_PKGSEL_RULES
Here you can modify the package list for the build. You have the
choice between enable, disable or complete removal. A disabled
package can still be reenabled by a target, while a removed one
can not be selected by a target.
Use "X <pattern>" to enable packages
Use "O <pattern>" to disable packages
Use "- <pattern>" to remove packages
For example:
"- gnome*"
will not build Gnome at all.
SDECFG_SHOW_PKGLIST
This will display the complete, current package list.
SDECFG_CONFOPT_FILE:0
Here you can specify additional parameters passed to every ./configure
script.
Use "--with-option" to enable a feature
Use "--without-option" to disable a feature
Use "--option[=value]" to specify a custom option
The Build-Syste will always check whether the configure script supports
the options before the options is really passed as argument.
COMMENT_FLIST
Please see the help for the choice-menu.
SDECFG_FLIST
This help is taken from Rolling ROCK Issue #2 2003 and updated for
OpenSDE.
The build scripts of OpenSDE auto-detect which files are created by a
package build and use this information to create the package file-list.
There are three techniques which can be used to auto-detect this file
list:
* flist-wrapper
The flist-wrapper is the recommended way of doing it. It's an "elf
preload library". This is a library which is loaded _before_ the
c-library and so can overwrite functions of the c library. The
flist-wrapper lib is overwriting all functions which can be used
to create files and is writing the filenames to a log file before
running the original c library function.
This log file is used to create the package file list after the
build has been completed. The problem with the flist-wrapper lib is
that it doesn't work with statically built binaries or with non
glibc c libraries. In such environments (e.g. when building a
dietlibc based system), other techniques - such as those described
below - must be used for creating the file list.
* strace
This one is rather easy: The whole build is running in a process-
tree which is monitored by strace. The log file created by strace is
later used to create the package file list. However: this does only
work on architectures which do have an strace command - which is not
the case for all architectures the Linux kernel and glibc have been
ported to.
* find
This one is rather ugly (but sometimes the only alternative): When
the build is started, a 'timestamp-file' is created. After the build
has been completed, the find program is used to find all files which
are newer than the 'timestamp-file'. This is really slow now and has
the disadvantage that nothing else than the build process may create
or modify files while the build is running. This should only be used
if no other system for creating the file list can be used.
SDECFG_USE_CROSSCC
This option controls whether to bootstrap a new, clean and up-to-date
toolchain to bootstrap the target system - even for native (non cross)
builds. This is needed when the host and target compiler or C library
differ in the ABI. THIS IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
SDECFG_DO_REBUILD_STAGE
This options controls whether to rebuild all packages in the final
rebuild-stage.
Each and every package is rebuilt in Stage 9 once more and only then
are the binary-packages created. This has the advantage that
circular dependencies are resolved, but it also almost doubles the
build time.
In former times this was recommended - but nowadays this is only a
paranoia thing.
SDECFG_DO_CHECK
This options enables to run a make check / test target for packages
with support for this. This can be used as extended quality assurance
to make sure the resulting binaries work correct.
SDECFG_OPT
With this option, the type of optimisation can be selected.
SDECFG_DEBUG
Enable this option if you want to have debug symbols in your binaries.
SDECFG_LIMITCXX
Check here if you want to disable the C++ exceptions run-time type
identification. This can make the C++ binaries about 25% smaller,
but any C++ sources using exceptions or rtti, for example QT/KDE,
will fail to compile. If you don't know, don't touch.
SDECFG_MULTILIB
Enable installing several versions of the same library.
SDECFG_LD_AS_NEEDED
Enabling this option will instruct the linker to only mark the shared
objections as needed in the relevant ELF section that are referenced
by the executable generated. This does often reduce the dependencies
of a binary quite a lot and can help speeding up application start up
time.
Currently this feature is considered expermental and thus disabled by
default.
SDECFG_DISABLE_NLS
Please check here if you do not want to use Native Language Support.
SDECFG_CREATE_CACHE
Please check here if you want to create *.cache files after a build
has completed. This is the same as a reference build.
SDECFG_PARANOIA_CHECK
Please check here if you want to run sanity checks before building.
THIS IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
SDECFG_IDCKSUM
Please check here if you want to use a checksum instead of the long
explanatory SDECFG-ID.
