1 KODI ADDON DEPENDENCIES
2 =======================
3 This directory contains the cmake-based buildsystem for addon dependencies. It
4 looks into the "common" and the "<platform>/cmake" sub-directories and parses
5 all *.txt files recursively. Each dependency must have its own <dependency>.txt
6 file (either in the main sub-directory or in a separate subdirectory of the main
7 subdirectory) which must follow one of the defined formats:
8 * an empty file means that no extra downloads are necessary
11 * <dependency> <git-url> <git-revision>
13 * <dependency> must be identical to the filename
14 * <url> must be the URL to an archive that is downloaded and extracted.
15 * <git-url> must be the URL of the git repository containing the
17 * <git-revision> must be a valid git tag/branch/commit in the dependency's git
18 repository which will be used for the build.
20 Reserved filenames (for additional information on how to build a dependency)
22 * CMakeLists.txt: build instructions for the dependency
23 * install.txt: instructions on how to install the dependency's built files
24 * noinstall.txt: no installation step required (content is ignored)
25 * flags.txt: additional build flags
26 * flags-<CPU>.txt: additional arch specific platform build flags
27 * deps.txt: whitespace separated list of dependencies of this dependency
29 The buildsystem uses the following depends-related variables (which can be passed
30 into it when executing cmake with the -D<variable-name>=<value> option) to e.g.
31 access specific paths:
32 * DEPENDS_TO_BUILD is a quoted, space delimited list of <dependency>s that
33 you want to build (default is "all").
34 * ADDON_EXTRA_ARGS is a quoted, space delimited list of arguments passed to
35 all <dependency>s built (eg -DADDON_EXTRA_ARGS="-Darg1=1 -Darg2=2").
