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 libav x86_64-w64-mingw32

Environment variables

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

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

If your environment variable PATH also contains other Unix-like environments such as Cygwin, 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 libav x86_64-w64-mingw32

Create custom script build

You can also create a standalone build script for a particular package (and its dependencies) to integrate in your project:

$ ./make-extra.sh libav > build_libav.sh

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

$ ./build_libav.sh <targetArchitecture>
