# cmake-package-installer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a solution to the eternal problem of figuring out what packages
|
||
|
|
to install, depending on what the CMake project requires.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The tool accomplishes this by parsing the CMake logs and then using the
|
||
|
|
distribution's existing packaging channels to lookup which packages provide
|
||
|
|
the necessary libraries, package configurations, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**This tool is a proof of concept.**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Design Goals
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Attempt to support every distribution supported by `kdesrc-build`:
|
||
|
|
* Debian
|
||
|
|
* OpenSUSE
|
||
|
|
* Fedora
|
||
|
|
* Mageia
|
||
|
|
* Gentoo
|
||
|
|
* Arch Linux
|
||
|
|
* Alpine
|
||
|
|
* FreeBSD
|
||
|
|
* Parse the following types of missing packages:
|
||
|
|
* CMake packages
|
||
|
|
* Pkgconfig packages
|
||
|
|
* QML runtime dependencies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Current Blockers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The distribution MUST support grabbing arbitrary file information from packages
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Debian (unknown)
|
||
|
|
- [ ] OpenSUSE (unknown)
|
||
|
|
- [X] Fedora (supported via `dnf provides`)
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Mageia (unknown)
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Gentoo (probably won't work, but there is a community database)
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Arch Linux (think so)
|
||
|
|
- [ ] Alpine (unknown)
|
||
|
|
- [ ] FreeBSD (unknown)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Architecture
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. The user runs a CMake build, probably through `kdesrc-build`.
|
||
|
|
2. The build fails, presumably due to missing packages.
|
||
|
|
3. `cmake-package-installer` parses the CMake log, and finds the probable missing packages that contain the required
|
||
|
|
files that CMake is looking for.
|
||
|
|
4. The package list is compiled and suggested to the user to install.
