Platform support is determined by _OPSYS_SUPPORTS_CTF from mk/platform, the
user enables support by setting PKGSRC_USE_CTF=yes, and packages can
explicitly disable support with CTF_SUPPORTED=no or skip certain files with
CTF_FILES_SKIP.
The path to ctfconvert is configured via TOOLS_PLATFORM.ctfconvert.
If all of the requisite variables are enabled, a compiler-specific debug flag
is passed via the wrappers to ensure we have DWARF information to convert,
_INSTALL_UNSTRIPPED is explicitly defined to avoid binaries being stripped
prior to conversion, and the conversion is performed during the install stage.
It is recommended that users who enable the feature also set STRIP_DEBUG=yes
to reduce the final binary size once the conversion has been performed.
This has been used for the past year in Joyent SmartOS builds. FreeBSD is
marked as supported but is untested.
itools, intltool, diff3, sdiff, msgmerge
* Adding USE_TOOLS+=itools to a package Makefile will cause the
tool-directory versions of imake, makedepend, mkdirhier and xmkmf
to point to the ones from the devel/nbitools package.
This change will remove the need for nbitools/buildlink3.mk, which
currently does a bit of hackery to force the "right" imake tools to
be used by packages that need it.
* Adding USE_TOOLS+=intltool to a package Makefile will cause the
local versions of intltool-* inside ${WRKSRC} to be replaced by
copies from the textproc/intltool package. If "intltool" is not
specified as a tool, then we create "broken" intltool-* tools in
the tools directory to help highlight hidden dependencies on the
intltool package.
In addition, modify the tools framework so that if "perl" is not
specified as a tool, then we create a "broken" perl tool in the
tools directory for the same reason as for "intltool".
These two changes together will remove the need for
intltools/buildlink3.mk and should also catch all cases where the
sources' intltools may have been silently used because perl was
found on the system.
* Adding USE_TOOLS+=diff3, USE_TOOLS+=sdiff, or USE_TOOLS+=msgmerge
to a package Makefile will cause the corresponding tool to be pulled
into the tools directory.
These are convenience tools to help simplify dependencies for some
packages.
if a native one isn't available. We ensure that the "install-info"
tool in the tools directory is a no-op since the real info file
registration is handled by the INSTALL/DEINSTALL script in
pkgsrc/mk/pkginstall/install-info.
makeinfo if no native makeinfo executable exists. Honor TEXINFO_REQD
when determining whether the native makeinfo can be used.
* Remove USE_MAKEINFO and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=makeinfo.
* Get rid of all the "split" argument deduction for makeinfo since
the PLIST module already handles varying numbers of split info files
correctly.
NOTE: Platforms that have "makeinfo" in the base system should check
that the makeinfo entries of pkgsrc/mk/tools.${OPSYS}.mk are
correct.
which can take multiple values -- "pax" or "gtar". The default value
of EXTRACT_USING is "pax", which more closely matches reality since
before, we were using bootstrap "tar" for ${GTAR} and it was actually
pax-as-tar. Also, stop pretending pax-as-tar from the bootstrap kit
or on NetBSD is GNU tar. Lastly, in bsd.pkg.extract.mk, note whether
we need "pax" or "gtar" depending on what we need to extract the
distfiles.
as needing both (no impact since they're both satisfied by the tar
binary installed by the bootstrap kit). There's some funniness in
the extraction code where we check for pax or GNU tar that needs to
be resolved. Remove the TAR=${GTAR} hack since it's no longer needed
after these changes.
XXX Later, a sweep needs to be made to see where we actually need GTAR
XXX and where we only need TAR, probably triggered by whether we call it
XXX with the "z" option or not. Packages that need GTAR should explicitly
XXX add USE_TOOLS+=gtar to the package Makefile.
packages to strip installed executables. If INSTALL_UNSTRIPPED ==
"yes", then we create a "strip" wrapper in ${TOOLS_DIR} that just
calls ${TRUE} by considering ${TRUE} the system-supplied strip command.
default value for each platform. Currently, the replacement tools
comes from sysutils/coreutils, but where there is no native BSD install
program, bootstrap-pkgsrc should probably be made to provide an install
shell script as an alternative, and mk/tools/bootstrap.mk should be
amended accordingly.
Also remove one use of ${TYPE} in pkgsrc (bsd.pkg.mk) under the new tools
framework.
