LIB_DEPENDS are no longer part of ALWAYS_DEPEND for the new-depends code,
but use their own code.
The code does scan the list of libraries for dependent packages, and insert
corresponding @libdepend lines into the resulting package. There are a few
important consequences:
- no libdepend lines are inserted if only a static library is found. So
RUN_DEPENDS are now needed to supplement LIB_DEPENDS if a package requires
another package for something that isn't a library.
- dependency checking for installed stuff can go one step further, since
we have the major/minor number of the libraries used for the build.
At the moment, pkg resolve dependencies does nothing smart with the
inserted libdepends, but it will (soon). In fact, for most libdepends, if
the major/minor scheme are correct, no check on the installed pkgspec ought
to be necessary... which is why the `default pkgspec to check' is pkg-* for
libraries.
- resolving recursive run dependencies need to go one step further: a
RUN_DEPENDS pkg may have some LIB_DEPENDS, and the RUN_DEPENDS pkg will be
needed to explicitly write the required information into the resulting
package... Hence the necessity of being able to tune the list of libraries
to ask the uninstalled package (and to make sure the uninstalled package
is built).
This is only preliminary work. Currently, this doesn't yield any real
benefits to the old approach, as a few semantic details need to be
sharpened out. Also, there are now quite a few old targets that are a
complete mess and will need to be cleaned up/removed entirely.
Thanks to naddy@ for testing various preliminary versions of this patch
and helping me iron bugs out.
no longer relies on ldconfig, but rather on the path stored inside
LIB_DEPENDS. Introduce a lib_resolve_fragment that can be used to
resolve the libraries from a given list (e.g., listlibs).
To be used in the next patch.
Note that this check is currently more or less equivalent to the old
check, apart from the fact that:
- libs can't trust packages,
- lib-depends always resort to non-shared libraries, even on shared
architectures, if the shared check doesn't work.
individual port, introduce a new variable for bsd.port.mk, VMEM_WARNING.
By setting this variable to `Yes', the user is given a warning about the
virtual memory requirements just before the pre-build stage.
o Also give some examples for different shells for what to do about
it, and mention login.conf(5). bash, for example, has a confusing
-v flag to ulimit.
o Document this in bsd.port.mk.5
espie@ ok
Useful for modules support: now specific modules can require later
versions of bsd.port.mk.
Of course, ports using modules may need an update to 1.486 to use
this feature.
The chroot is needed to avoid having ldd pick up dependent libraries
that come from a package variant and are actually not needed as
dependencies.
Scan /usr, /usr/X11R6 for system libraries, and WRKINST for packaged
libraries.
Some testsuites use HOME to test their getenv function. Which seems
to be reasonable. But we definitely don't want to allow HOME into
MAKE_ENV by default.
