gpac / zenbuild

A component-level build system.

ZenBuild

ZenBuild is a one-shot component-level build-system, aimed at easing the build of free software projects. It also aims at making cross-building seamless.

Syntax

The general syntax is:

$ ./zenbuild.sh <workingDirectory> <packageName> <targetArchitecture>

Example command:

$ ./zenbuild.sh /tmp/myWorkDirectory gpac x86_64-w64-mingw32

Package Names

You can use any name in the 'zen-*.sh' pattern. For example, if a zen-ffmpeg.sh file exists, you can invoke the ffmpeg package name.

Environment variables

The environment variable MAKE is influential, you can achieve parallel builds this way:

$ MAKE='make -j8' ./zenbuild.sh /tmp/myWorkDirectory gpac x86_64-w64-mingw32

If your environment variable PATH also contains

• other Unix-like environments such as Cygwin,
• or spaces, you may want to restrict the environment PATH this way:

$ PATH='/mingw64/bin:/mingw32/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin' ./zenbuild.sh /tmp/myWorkDirectory gpac x86_64-w64-mingw32

MSys: Install Python2 for Windows, install it in a directory with no space, and make it first in the path:

$ PATH='/c/python27/:/mingw64/bin:/mingw32/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin' ./zenbuild.sh /tmp/myWorkDirectory gpac x86_64-w64-mingw32

Create custom script build

You can also create a standalone build script for a particular set of packages (and their dependencies) to integrate in your project:

$ ./make-extra.sh gpac ffmpeg libsdl2 > build_gpac.sh

You can now integrate build_gpac.sh in your project, and invoke it this way:

$ ./build_gpac.sh <targetArchitecture>
