doc: Documentation in Markdown for Depends Dir
Documentation more readable when viewed on Github. Some extra changes by @laanwj: - Make README.usage the default README. This is more convenient from a user perspective. Link to other documentation in this default README - Add list of popular targets for cross compilation, change default to Win64 instead of Win32

### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
To build dependencies for the current arch+OS:
|
||||
|
||||
make
|
||||
|
||||
To build for another arch/OS:
|
||||
|
||||
make HOST=host-platform-triplet
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -j4
|
||||
|
||||
A prefix will be generated that's suitable for plugging into Bitcoin's
|
||||
configure. In the above example, a dir named i686-w64-mingw32 will be
|
||||
created. To use it for Bitcoin:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32
|
||||
|
||||
Common `host-platform-triplets` for cross compilation are:
|
||||
|
||||
- `i686-w64-mingw32` for Win32
|
||||
- `x86_64-w64-mingw32` for Win64
|
||||
- `x86_64-apple-darwin11` for MacOSX
|
||||
- `arm-linux-gnueabihf` for Linux ARM
|
||||
|
||||
No other options are needed, the paths are automatically configured.
|
||||
|
||||
Dependency Options:
|
||||
The following can be set when running make: make FOO=bar
|
||||
|
||||
SOURCES_PATH: downloaded sources will be placed here
|
||||
BASE_CACHE: built packages will be placed here
|
||||
SDK_PATH: Path where sdk's can be found (used by OSX)
|
||||
FALLBACK_DOWNLOAD_PATH: If a source file can't be fetched, try here before giving up
|
||||
NO_QT: Don't download/build/cache qt and its dependencies
|
||||
NO_WALLET: Don't download/build/cache libs needed to enable the wallet
|
||||
NO_UPNP: Don't download/build/cache packages needed for enabling upnp
|
||||
DEBUG: disable some optimizations and enable more runtime checking
|
||||
|
||||
If some packages are not built, for example `make NO_WALLET=1`, the appropriate
|
||||
options will be passed to bitcoin's configure. In this case, `--disable-wallet`.
|
||||
|
||||
Additional targets:
|
||||
|
||||
download: run 'make download' to fetch all sources without building them
|
||||
download-osx: run 'make download-osx' to fetch all sources needed for osx builds
|
||||
download-win: run 'make download-win' to fetch all sources needed for win builds
|
||||
download-linux: run 'make download-linux' to fetch all sources needed for linux builds

## Identifiers
|

Each package is required to define at least these variables:
|
||||
$(package)_version:
|
||||
|
||||
$(package)_version:
|
||||
Version of the upstream library or program. If there is no version, a
|

placeholder such as 1.0 can be used.
|

$(package)_download_path:
|

|

$(package)_download_path:

Location of the upstream source, without the file-name. Usually http or

ftp.
|

$(package)_file_name:
|
||||
|
||||
$(package)_file_name:
|
||||
The upstream source filename available at the download path.
|
||||
$(package)_sha256_hash:
|
||||
|
||||
$(package)_sha256_hash:
|
||||
The sha256 hash of the upstream file
|
||||
|

These variables are optional:
|
||||
$(package)_build_subdir:
|
||||
|
||||
$(package)_build_subdir:
|
||||
cd to this dir before running configure/build/stage commands.
|
||||
$(package)_download_file:
|
||||
|
||||
$(package)_download_file:
|
||||
The file-name of the upstream source if it differs from how it should be

stored locally. This can be used to avoid storing file-names with strange
|

characters.

Filenames of any patches needed to build the package
|

$(package)_extra_sources:
|
||||
|
||||
$(package)_extra_sources:
|
||||
Any extra files that will be fetched via $(package)_fetch_cmds. These are
|
||||
specified so that they can be fetched and verified via 'make download'.
|
||||
|
||||
Build Variables:
|
||||
|
||||
## Build Variables:
|
||||
After defining the main identifiers, build variables may be added or customized
|
||||
before running the build commands. They should be added to a function called
|
||||
$(package)_set_vars. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
define $(package)_set_vars
|
||||
...
|
||||
endef
|
||||
define $(package)_set_vars
|
||||
...
|
||||
endef
|
||||
|
||||
Most variables can be prefixed with the host, architecture, or both, to make
|
||||
the modifications specific to that case. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
Universal: $(package)_cc=gcc
|
||||
Linux only: $(package)_linux_cc=gcc
|
||||
x86_64 only: $(package)_x86_64_cc = gcc

||||
