bs - build system
-----------------
bs is an attempt at a fast and reliable build system that will let
developers build mpd without having to deal with the complexity of
autotools. It is still a work in progress, but it seems to be
reasonably usable (to developers) and fast.
It is designed from the ground up to work with cross-compilation, as well as
multiple build targets/configurations from the same source tree (using the O
variable).
It is NOT intended to replace autotools for distribution maintainers
or end users who are satisfied with autotools.
SYNOPSIS
--------
# To build mpd in a directory "output"
./build.mk O=output defconfig
$EDITOR output/config.mk
./build.mk O=output
FEATURES
--------
* Designed for cross-compilation from the ground up
* Designed to easily handle multiple build directories from the same source
tree. Just set the O variable when invoking make (see synopsis).
* Automatic dependency analysis (if using GCC)
* Highly configurable (no auto-detection of dependencies to get wrong)
* Simple, no archaic M4 macros or unreadable auto-generated shell or makefiles
just human-maintained GNU Make and POSIX shell.
config.mk
---------
This is the configuration file a user should edit if they wish to
enable/disable features or tune settings. Once created, this
will NOT be modified by the build system, so user settings will
always be preserved.
VARIABLES
---------
These are conventions, not hard and fast rules (as there's no good way to
enforce them :)
mixed-case or lower-case variables are used by bs internally.
ALL_CAPS variables are designed to be changed by users.
REQUIREMENTS
------------
GNU Make, POSIX shell + common UNIX tools (awk, sed, mv, rm, mkdir).
git (version control system) is only required if you wish to autodownload
external dependencies (flac, tremor, mad, etc...) for static linking.
BUGS
----
Modifications to config.mk will over-rebuild.
Changes to CFLAGS/LDFLAGS from the command-line are not yet checked in
rebuilds.
