how to build a package with snowman

• download a file to build & install: cmake-3.10.2

cd ${PKG_BUILD_SOURCE_PATH}
wget "https://cmake.org/files/v3.10/cmake-3.10.2.tar.gz"

${PKG_BUILD_PATH}/script/pkg.build.sh cmake-3.10.2.conf

cd ${APP_PREFIX}/opt
ls -l cmake

ls -l ${PKG_BUILD_PATH}/var/tmp
rm -rf ${PKG_BUILD_PATH}/var/tmp/cmake-3.10.2   # Clean up the temporary folder.

or

cd ${HOME}/download
wget "https://cmake.org/files/v3.10/cmake-3.10.2.tar.gz"

tar xvfz cmake-3.10.2.tar.gz
cd cmake-3.10.2
cp ${PKG_BUILD_PATH}/packages/cmake-3.10.2.conf
${PKG_BUILD_PATH}/script/pkg.build.sh -f cmake-3.10.2.conf

cd ${APP_PREFIX}/opt
ls -l cmake

• create link for ${APP_PREFIX}/{bin, lib, include, ...}

cd ${PKG_BUILD_PATH}/script

vi pkg.list.conf          # edit for package version:  "cmake/3.10.1" to "cmake/3.10.2"

./pkg.admin.sh reset      # clean up ${APP_PREFIX}/{bin, lib, include}
./pkg.admin.sh opt        # create symbolic link for ${APP_PREFIX}/opt
./pkg.admin.sh pkg        # create symbolic link for ${APP_PREFIX}/{bin, lib, include}

• check ${APP_PREFIX} PATH

ls -l ${APP_PREFIX}

ls -l ${APP_PREFIX}/opt

ls -l ${APP_PREFIX}/bin
ls -l ${APP_PREFIX}/lib
ls -l ${APP_PREFIX}/include

• add ${APP_PREFIX}/bin to the PATH environment variable

export PATH=${PATH}:${APP_PREFIX}/bin

• add ${APP_PREFIX}/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable (for linux)

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${APP_PREFIX}/lib
