This directory contains tools for managing and using the source code
of Genode.
:'create_builddir'
The 'create_builddir' tool provides a convenient way to create build
directories for different platforms. Its usage information is printed when
starting the tool without arguments.
:'builddir/':
This directory contains a Makefile template and configuration snippets used
by the 'create_builddir' tool.
:'tool_chain':
This tool downloads, builds, and installs the tool chain needed to build the
Genode OS Framework. For getting usage information, start the tool without
arguments.
:'create_iso':
This simple tool helps to build bootable ISO images from your build of
Genode. For getting usage information, start the tool without arguments.
:'create_grub2':
This tool prepares a partitioned disk image with GRUB2 as boot
loader.
:'grub2-head.img':
This file is the head part of a partioned disk image including an
installation of GRUB2 as boot loader. GRUB2 is available from
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/ and in major Linux distributions.
Steps to reproduce the image creation can be found in
'create_grub2'.
:'beautify':
Beautify is a coding-style checking tool that analyzes source code for its
adherence to Genode's coding style as described in 'doc/coding_style.txt'.
Whenever possible, the tool tries to fix the issues and outputs a corrected
file. Some corrections, however, require human interaction. In this case,
the tool stops the analysis with an error.
:'parse_cxx':
This tool is a C++ parser used as front-end for Beautify.
:'cxx_to_html':
This tool converts a C++ source file to a HTML view to be used for the API
documentation at the genode.org website. It relies on 'parse_cxx' to do the
actual C++ parsing.
:'fix_include_ifndef':
This tool helps with assigning consistent include guards to header files.
:'boot':
This directory contains boot-loader files needed to create boot images.
:'autopilot':
Autopilot is a tool for the automatic execution of run scripts among multiple
base platforms.
:'abi_symbols':
The utility assists with the initial creation of a ABI-symbols file, taking
a shared object as a starting point. For more information, refer to the
header of the 'abi_symbols' script.
:'check_abi':
The 'check_abi' helper is used by the build system to detect violations of
an ABI by a shared library. Most importantly, it reports incompatibilities of
symbol sizes, which require an adaptation of the ABI. For more information,
refer to the header of the 'check_abi' script.
