This week I got quite close to generating an ebuild for a autotools project. |
| 2 |
Right now I can get all sources that will be compiled, possible |
| 3 |
useflags and sources that gets pulled in by those useflags. |
| 4 |
I did however run into a problem where I noticed that I don't respect |
| 5 |
include flags "-I". |
| 6 |
The problem is that I grab all sources that I need to scan from the |
| 7 |
whole project then scan all of the files. This does not work that good |
| 8 |
when you have a lot of "local" include flags in different automake |
| 9 |
files. |
| 10 |
So I'll have to rewrite that portion of the program so that I can |
| 11 |
separate includes that uses files from the project and includes that |
| 12 |
uses stuff from outside the project. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Besides that I also need to solve the problem where I can know all the |
| 15 |
include paths because of pkg-config and other programs/scripts that |
| 16 |
generates compile flags with "-I" in them. |
| 17 |
If there is more than one matching package that provides the header |
| 18 |
file I'll have to guess. I can also have it try to guess the correct |
| 19 |
dep by trying to see if the package contains the useflag name if the |
| 20 |
header file is pulled in by a useflag. |
| 21 |
If this fails I think I'll just warn the user that all required |
| 22 |
dependencies might not be pulled in by the ebuild and list which |
| 23 |
failed. |

Sadly I am now behind schedule. These last two weeks I should have |
| 26 |
been working on bugfixing and cleaning up code. |
| 27 |
But now that I've become unstuck I think I'll have at least something |
| 28 |
useful by the GSoC deadline. |
| 29 |
I would also like to thank everyone that helped me/gave me ideas when |
| 30 |
I was stuck! |
| 31 |
Even if I didn't use the ideas/solutions it helped me tremendously in |
| 32 |
getting unstuck. |
| 33 |
Thanks all of you! :) |
