Subject: [gentoo-dev] [PATCHES] Header wrapping support for multilib
Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2013 16:24:57
Message-Id: 20130323172532.1b1100e2@pomiocik.lan
1 Hello,
2
3 I've finally got around to writing the header wrapping functions for
4 multilib. That's an initial yet working draft. I will send patches in
5 reply to this mail.
6
7 The first patch just converts internal distutils-r1 root merging
8 function to globally available multibuild_merge_root(). This is used
9 in distutils-r1 to merge fakerooted distutils installs, and will be
10 used to merge wrapped headers on top of regular install.
11
12 The second one adds the actual code. The headers to wrap are listed
13 in a global variable. After each install, the headers are moved to
14 temporary location and wrapper is being prepared there. When all
15 installs are done, all those files are merged on top of them.
16
17 The per-ABI headers are installed onto /usr/include/$CHOST, repeating
18 the directory structure from original /usr/include install. Wrapper
19 includes the headers by full <$CHOST/foo/bar.h> path.
20
21 Potential issues:
22
23 - only /usr/include is supported (to be extended if necessary),
24
25 - no 'fallback' code in header (to be added in the future), if no ABIs
26 match, no code is given,
27
28 - not tested thoroughly. I'd appreciate if someone could play with it
29 a bit and see whether proper headers are actually included and it
30 works everywhere.
