Package name, config entry name and makefile variable relationship
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
In Buildroot, there is some relationship between:
|
|
|
|
* the _package name_, which is the package directory name (and the
|
|
name of the +*.mk+ file);
|
|
|
|
* the config entry name that is declared in the +Config.in+ file;
|
|
|
|
* the makefile variable prefix.
|
|
|
|
It is mandatory to maintain consistency between these elements,
|
|
using the following rules:
|
|
|
|
* the _make_ target name will be the _package name_ itself (e.g.:
|
|
+foo-bar_boo+);
|
|
|
|
* the config entry is the upper case _package name_ with `.` and `-`
|
|
characters substituted with `_`, prefixed with +BR2_PACKAGE_+ (e.g.:
|
|
+BR2_PACKAGE_FOO_BAR_BOO+);
|
|
|
|
* the +*.mk+ file variable prefix is the upper case _package name_
|
|
`.` and `-` characters substituted with `_` (e.g.:
|
|
+FOO_BAR_BOO_VERSION+).

How to add package from github
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
If the package has no release version, or its version cannot be
|
|
identified using tag, then the sha1 of the particular commit should be
|
|
used to identify the version (the first 7 characters of the sha1 are
|
|
enough):
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
FOO_VERSION = 1234567
|
|
FOO_SITE = http://github.com/<user>/<package>/tarball/<branch>
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
If the package version matches a tag, then this tag should be used to
|
|
identify the version:
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
FOO_VERSION = v1.0
|
|
FOO_SITE = http://github.com/<user>/<package>/tarball/$(FOO_VERSION)
|
|
