NAME
pmkfile — pmk specification file
DESCRIPTION
pmkfile is a file containing specifications that help configuring a package build on a given platform.
SYNTAX
See pmksyntax.5 to have an overview of the basic syntax of pmkfiles.
SPECIFIC COMMANDS
The following commands have no label.
SETTINGS
This command sets pmk parameters.
Arguments:
AC_COMPAT type is 'quoted', enable autoconf compatibility (empty string or filename).
LANG type is 'quoted', global default language.
TARGET type is 'list', list of target's filenames.
DETECT type is 'list', list of languages (compilers to identify).
For example:
SETTINGS {
AC_COMPAT="config.h"
LANG="C"
TARGET=("src/file.c","src/file.h")
DETECT=("CC")
}
DEFINE This command permits to define variables.
Arguments:
Those are the variables to be defined (quote data type only).
For example:
DEFINE {
PACKAGE="my_prog"
VERSION="0.1"
}
SWITCHES
This command is setting dependency switches (see further DEPEND definition).
Arguments:
For example:
SWITCHES {
use_curses=TRUE
use_gtk=FALSE
}
STANDARD COMMANDS
All these commands need a label.
They can all have the following optional arguments:
REQUIRED Specify if this test is required to achieve the configuration. Type is 'bool'. If not
specified, it is TRUE by default.
DEPEND Specify check dependencies. Type is 'list'. A dependency is a label or a switch name.
The value of each dependency can be negated by adding a leading '!' sign. If at least
one of the dependencies is false then the check will be disabled.
For example:
DEPEND = ("header_gtk","!header_qt")
DEFS Specify additional defines. Type is 'list'. If the check succeeds then the given
defines are also recorded else they are ignored.
Some of these commands can also have the following arguments:
LANG Specify the language used in the following list:
C, C++
Type is 'quoted', by default \"C\" is the used language.
