also create either a wrapper or a symlink depending on whether it has
any arguments or not. While we're here, correct the comment block to
include a description of PLATFORM_TOOL.*.
tools that are defined as a command plus arguments, e.g. for gunzip,
GUNZIP= /usr/bin/gzip -d
In this case, we generate a wrapper script that invokes the real
command plus arguments. If there are no arguments, then just symlink
the command for simplicity.
Also, restructure the tool-specific blocks so that we always define
TOOLS_CMD.<tool> to the correct name (important for yacc/bison), and
check that the real command actually exists before assigning it to
the "TOOL" name.
behavior is deemed too undeterministic and too complex for bsd.tools.mk,
which should just be providing simple building blocks for creating
simple wrappers and symlinks. These searches are better implemented
elsewhere.
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.
