run-time dependency (DEPENDS) on a tool is to append a ":run" modifier
to the tool name, e.g.,
USE_TOOLS+= perl:run
Tools without modifiers or with an explicit ":build" modifier will
cause build dependencies (BUILD_DEPENDS) on those tools to be added.
This makes the notation a bit more compact.
USE_TOOLS and any of "autoconf", "autoconf213", "automake" or
"automake14". Also, we don't need to call the auto* tools via
${ACLOCAL}, ${AUTOCONF}, etc., since the tools framework takes care
to symlink the correct tool to the correct name, so we can just use
aclocal, autoconf, etc.
within make. This allows us to use EVAL_PREFIX to locate the installation
prefix for autoconf and automake, which is more pkgviews-friendly. In any
case, this implementation is a lot simpler anyway.
to be a drop-in replacement for mk/tools.mk, but isn't yet enabled
pending further testing. To use, edit bsd.pkg.mk to include bsd.tools.mk
instead of tools.mk.
The major changes from the old tools framework are:
(1) The new interface to using the tools framework is through setting
USE_TOOLS in the package Makefile, e.g.,
USE_TOOLS+= autoconf gmake yacc
(2) Bison/yacc handling is improved. Instead of adding checks for
/usr/bin/yacc to the package Makefile and explicitly setting YACC,
e.g., security/mit-krb5/Makefile, simply add "yacc" to USE_TOOLS.
If bison is explicitly required, then add "bison" to USE_TOOLS
instead.
(3) GNU auto* tools are handled differently. "autoconf", "aclocal",
"automake", etc. will be tools in ${TOOLS_DIR} that point to the
correct versions of the auto* tools. Instead of patching Makefiles
or scripts to use ${AUTOCONF}, ${ACLOCAL}, etc., the correct
versions of the tools will be called if they are invoked simply
by their bare names. This is selected by adding either "autoconf"
or "autoconf213", or "automake" or "automake14" to USE_TOOLS.
The new tools framework will deprecate the following variables:
ACLOCAL AUTORECONF
AUTOCONF BUILD_USES_GETTEXT_M4
AUTOHEADER USE_GNU_TOOLS
AUTOMAKE USE_TBL
The new tools framework will deprecate the following *.mk files:
mk/autoconf.mk
mk/automake.mk
mk/tools.mk
Additional documentation on how to use bsd.tools.mk to create new tools
under ${TOOLS_DIR} may be found in the header comments in bsd.tools.mk.
