5 Build tools requirements
6 ========================
8 When building and testing directly from the repository it is important to
9 have at least automake version 1.10 or later installed. All modern
10 distributions should default to the latest version, but it seems that
11 Debian's default is still an earlier version:
14 # dpkg -l '*automake*'
17 # apt-get install automake1.10
18 # update-alternatives --config automake
21 Working with the source code repository
22 =======================================
24 The repository contains two extra scripts that accomplish the bootstrap
25 process. One is called "bootstrap" which is the basic scripts that uses the
26 autotools scripts to create the needed files for building and installing.
27 It makes sure to call the right programs depending on the usage of shared or
28 static libraries or translations etc.
30 The second program is called "bootstrap-configure". This program will make
31 sure to properly clean the repository, call the "bootstrap" script and then
32 call configure with proper settings for development. It will use the best
33 options and pass them over to configure. These options normally include
34 the enabling the maintainer mode and the debugging features.
36 So while in a normal source project the call "./configure ..." is used to
37 configure the project with its settings like prefix and extra options. In
38 case of bare repositories call "./bootstrap-configure" and it will bootstrap
39 the repository and calls configure with all the correct options to make
42 In case of preparing for a release with "make distcheck", don't use
43 bootstrap-configure since it could export development specific settings.
45 So the normal steps to checkout, build and install such a repository is
49 # git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/ofono/ofono.git
53 # ./bootstrap-configure
57 # make install DESTDIR=$PWD/x
67 Remove autogenerated files
68 # make maintainer-clean
71 Running from within the source code repository
72 ==============================================
74 When using "./configure --enable-maintainer-mode" the automake scripts will
75 use the plugins directly from within the repository. This removes the need
76 to use "make install" when testing "ofonod". The "bootstrap-configure"
77 automatically includes this option.
79 Copy configuration file which specifies the required security policies
80 # sudo cp ./src/ofono.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/
82 Run daemon in foreground with debugging
83 # sudo ./src/ofonod -n -d 'plugins/*'
85 For production installations or distribution packaging it is important that
86 the "--enable-maintainer-mode" option is NOT used.
88 Note multiple arguments to -d can be specified, colon, comma or space
89 separated. The arguments are relative source code filenames for which
90 debugging output should be enabled; output shell-style globs are
91 accepted (e.g.: 'plugins/*:src/main.c').
93 Other debugging settings that can be toggled:
95 - Environment variable OFONO_AT_DEBUG (set to 1): enable AT commands
102 If you fixed a bug or you want to add support for something, patches are
103 welcome! In order to ease the inclusion of your patch, it's important to follow
104 some rules, otherwise it will likely be rejected by maintainers:
106 1) Do *not* add "Signed-off-by" lines in your commit messages. oFono does not
107 use them, so including them is actually an error.
109 2) Be sure to follow the coding style rules of oFono. They are listed in
110 doc/coding-style.txt.
112 3) Split your patch according to the top-level directories. E.g.: if you added
113 a feature that touches files under 'include/', 'src/' and 'drivers/'
114 directories, split in three separated patches, taking care not to
