PrepareProgram

From GoboLinux Knowledge Base

Prepares applications for instalation, running the 'configure' script.

Usage: PrepareProgram [ <targetname> [<versionnr>] ] [ -- <additional_options> ]

Options:

• -h, --help - Shows this help.
• -v, --version - Show program version.
• -V, --verbose - Enable verbose mode.
• -b, --batch - batch mode: no user interaction
• -t, --tree - prepare directories only, do not attempt to run configure.
• -T, --tree-cleanup - like --tree, but instead of creating directories, remove empty ones
• -k, --keep - keep the directory if it already exists in the /Programs hierarchy.
• -r, --remove - remove the directory if it already exists in the /Programs hierarchy.
• -c, --configure <entry> - specify program to be used as 'configure' script. The default value is './configure'.
• -C, --cross-compile - lets GoboPath export directories based on $crossPrefixDir.
• -a, --autoconf - Assume configure is based on autoconf, skipping detection.
• -A, --no-autoconf - Assume configure is NOT based on autoconf, skipping detection.
• -D, --no-default-options - Skip detection altogether, use only configure options passed on the command-line.

The /Programs hierarchy for the program is only created with --tree.
