<h1>Creating Packages with setup.rb</h1>
<h2>Creating Single Package Archive</h2>
<p>
&quot;Single Package Archive&quot; means the archive which includes
only one PACKAGE.  &quot;package&quot; means one set of ruby scripts,
ruby extentions, commands, and data files.
</p>
<p>
setup.rb requires that the archive is structured like this:
</p>
<pre>
PackageTop/
    setup.rb
    lib/
        (ruby scripts)
    ext/
        (ruby extentions)
    bin/
        (commands)
    data/
        (data files)
    conf/
        (configuration files)
    man/
        (manual pages)
    test/
        (tests)
</pre>
<p>
Each file/directories acts as below:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>setup.rb</dt>
<dd><p>
The installer. This file is included in this archive.
Just copy it to your package.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>lib/, bin/, data/, conf/, man/</dt>
<dd><p>
These directories includes files which are to be installed.
This directory tree is mirrored to the target directory, from 'lib/'
to 'RUBYLIB/', from 'bin/' to 'BINDIR/', from 'data/' to 'DATADIR/' ....
</p>
<p>
Use 'lib/' for ruby scripts, 'bin/' for commands, 'data/' for any
other data files, 'conf/' for configuration files, 'man/' for
manual pages.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>ext/</dt>
<dd><p>
'ext/' directory includes source code of ruby extentions.
If you want to install 'RUBYLIB/ARCH/someext.so', create
a directory 'ext/someext/' and put source files into it.
</p>
<p>
[WARNING] All extention source directories MUST include
extconf.rb or MANIFEST.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>test/</dt>
<dd><p>
'test/' directory contains test scripts.  You must write
test scripts which run on test/unit library.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<h2>Creating Multi-Package Archive</h2>
<p>
setup.rb can handle an archive which includes multiple PACKAGEs.
</p>
<p>
setup.rb requires the archive is structured as below:
</p>
<pre>
PackageTop/
    setup.rb
    packages/         &lt;--- fixed name
        tmail/        &lt;--- tmail package
            bin/
            lib/
            ext/
            data/
            conf/
            man/
            test/
        raccrt/       &lt;--- raccrt package
            bin/
            lib/
            ext/
            data/
            conf/
            man/
            test/
        strscan/      &lt;--- strscan package
            bin/
            lib/
            ext/
            data/
            conf/
            man/
            test/
        amstd/        &lt;--- amstd package
            bin/
            lib/
            ext/
            data/
            conf/
            man/
            test/
</pre>
<h2>Hooking Tasks</h2>
<p>
You can hook any tasks, such as &quot;config&quot; &quot;setup&quot;.
For example, you want to make some files in 'lib/tmail/' when setup.
Then create file 'lib/tmail/pre-setup.rb' and put this:
</p>
<pre>
# pre-setup.rb

# process grammer file
system &quot;racc #{srcdir_root + '/src/mp.y'} -o mailp.rb&quot;

# require all ruby scripts in this directory from _loadlib.rb.
list = Dir.glob(curr_srcdir + '/*.rb').collect {|n| File.basename(n) }
File.open( '_loadlib.rb', 'w' ) {|f|
  f.puts list.collect {|n| &quot;require 'tmail/&quot; + n + &quot;'&quot; }
}
File.open( '../tmail.rb', 'w' ) {|f|
  f.puts &quot;require 'tmail/_loadlib'&quot;
}
</pre>
<p>
This file is evaluated on task &quot;setup&quot; in the directory,
before processing any other thing. Acceptable hook file names are:
</p>
<pre>
{pre,post}-{config,setup,install,test,clean,distclean}.rb
</pre>
<p>
[NOTE] You can also put hook files in the top directory of archive
and/or the type-root directory ('bin/', 'lib/',...).
</p>
<h2>srcdir/objdir support</h2>
<p>
setup.rb supports srcdir/objdir separation. In other words,
you can compile everything out of the source directory.
</p>
<p>
If you write hooks, you should supports srcdir/objdir system.
When you read source code, read it from srcdir. When you write
anything, write it to the current directory. There's also some
APIs to help your work. see
,&lt;a href=&quot;hookapi.html&quot;&gt;Hook Script APIs Reference Manual&lt;/a&gt;
</p>
<h2>metaconfig</h2>
<p>
You can add new config options by writing file &quot;metaconfig&quot;.
metaconfig must be placed in the package-root directory.
</p>
<p>
Here is a simple example of metaconfig.
</p>
<pre>
add_path_config 'libc', '/lib/libc.so', 'path to the C standard library'
add_bool_config 'win32', false, 'compile with Win32 support'
</pre>
<p>
This script defined new config option --libc and --win32.
</p>
<p>
In 'metaconfig', you can use some APIs described in
,&lt;a href=&quot;metaconfapi.html&quot;&gt;metaconfig API Reference Manual&lt;/a&gt;
</p>
<h2>Backward Compatibility</h2>
<p>
I do not assure any backward compatibility for the setup.rb.
If you'd like old behavior, just use old version.
</p>
<h2>License</h2>
<p>
GNU LGPL, Lesser General Public License version 2.1.
For details, see file &quot;COPYING&quot;.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: You CAN distribute your program under the any licenses
you like. LGPL does not force you to make your programs LGPL
while the installer is LGPL'ed one.
</p>
<h2>Installation Manual</h2>
<p>
You can freely copy/edit and/or distribute Usage_*.txt files
which are included in this archive.  I do not claim any rights
on them.  Removing my copyright is also OK.
