===== blastwave build tools =====

I create a [[http://svn.asyd.net/svn/blastwave|subversion repository]] with a build
environment to create a blastwave package (check the tags directory). I actually only have
a tag for rrdtool-1.2.12, but I hope I'll have more in a short time. Note you can easily
use the build environment for your own packages.

==== Available environment ====

   * socat 1.4.3.1
   * rrdtool 1.2.12

==== Roadmap ====

   * Compute the pkg-get's catalog file
   * Use /usr/ccs/bin/make ?
   * Maybe try to create a full build environment like the pkgsrc one ?

==== How to ====

=== Requirements ===

   * A C compiler (Sun Studio 11 recommanded)
   * GNU Make

=== Skeleton ===

^ blastwave/ | Contains pkginfo, copyright, depends packages files, you **must** edit these files|
^ build.prefs | variables used by the Makefile, you **must** edit this file |
^ Makefile | The (GNU) makefile (use /usr/sfw/bin/gmake), you usually don't need to edit it |


=== build.prefs ===

^ SOURCE | The package sourcename, must match the directory create by tar xfvz |
^ UPSTREAM | The file to extract |
^ PATH | The PATH to use by gmake |
^ CC | The C compiler to use (cc or gcc) |
^ CONFIGURE_ARGS | Configure arguments (--prefix is set from the Makefile) |

=== Notes ===

  * Use Sun Studio as far as you can 

==== blastwave integration ====

I wrote a zsh script to compute pkg-get's catalog and descriptions files. You can find it [[http://asyd.net/scripts/make-catalog.zsh|here]]
