Getting started with the Userland Consolidation

Building the bits

    The Userland consolidation maintains a Mercurial gate at

        ssh://[email protected]//hg/userland/gate

    This gate contains build recipies, patches, IPS manifests, etc. necessary

    to download, prep, build, test, package and publish open source software.

    In order to build the contents of the Userland gate, you need to clone it.

    Since you are reading this, you probably already have, but in any event

    you can do so with the following command

    $ hg clone ssh://[email protected]//hg/userland/gate /scratch/clone

    In order to build the bits either individually or collectively, you must

    set the WS_TOP environment variable to point to the top of your workspace.

    $ export WS_TOP=/scratch/clone

    To build and publish the entire contents of the gate, you can use

    $ cd /scratch/clone

    $ gmake publish

    To build and publish a specific component you need to initialize the

    workspace by building the tools and creating a repository to publish

    your results in.  The easiest way to do this is to

    $ cd /scratch/clone

    $ gmake setup

    Once you have initialize the the workspace, you can build individual

    components by

    $ cd /scratch/clone/components/(component)

    $ gmake publish

    All of the bits are are built will be published to the repository created

    by the setup step (file:///scratch/clone/repo/)  If you build the entire

    contents of the gate, individual build logs for each component will be

    located at /scratch/clone/logs/(target):(component).log
