This is a sandbox module to test if our build setup for external libraries
|
|
(for example FFmpeg) is sane.
|
|
|
|
What we are trying to achieve:
|
|
|
|
satisfy:
|
|
patching of CVS checkout using our patch files placed in our CVS
|
|
|
|
passing of
|
|
make
|
|
make distcheck
|
|
non-srcdir build (ie, mkdir build; cd build; ../configure; make)
|
|
|
|
How it works:
|
|
|
|
* configure checks whether or not it should update ffmpeg from CVS by looking
|
|
at the nano version number
|
|
- if it's 1, we're in cvs mode, and it should check it out
|
|
- if it's not 1, we're in prerel or rel mode, and the code should already
|
|
be on disk
|
|
FIXME: we could change this to really check out the source code if some
|
|
required files aren't there just in case someone checks out from CVS
|
|
but CVS is not at nano 1
|
|
|
|
* patching of the checked-out copy happens at
|
|
|
|
Axioms under which we work:
|
|
- the dist tarball needs to include either
|
|
- the pristine ffmpeg checkout + our patches + a patch mechanism on make
|
|
or
|
|
- the ffmpeg checkout with patches already applied
|
|
|
|
- configure/make is not allowed to touch files that already live in the source
|
|
tree; if they need to then they need to be copied first and cleaned
|
|
afterward
|
|
|
|
- it would be very nice if, on update of either the Tag file or the patch set,
|
|
make would know exactly what to do with it.
