Managed to build most of the RTL, only demux and faio to go.

build/release/config felix_build trial .
What's shaping up is this: given a boostrap or existing Felix install, you can
build
a new system by creating a directory and putting a configuration database
(set of *.fpc files) into it.
Then you just point the builder at it and off it goes.
At the end, you can install the result.
For the packaging tool, this means figuring out the right
platform, putting the sources in the litterbox, setting up
a *.fpc file, and just pointing the builder at it.
The RTL build is driven by the file config/felix_build.fpc:
description: Build system bootstrap root.
toolchain: toolchain_clang_osx
compiler: clang
os: OSX
Requires: flx flx_gc flx_exceptions flx_pthread flx_async re2 sqlite3
flx_dynlink
There's a pain in this. Libraries are named like
-lflx_gc
which is a compiler specific switch. At least a "slice" of the configuration
is abstract, ie. platform independent.
Now, flx_pkgconfig can do merging. That is, you can have multiple
files in the directory search path with the same name, and stuff
just gets merged. So I'm thinking
config/*.fpc <-- abstract files
config/unix/*.fpc <-- unix stuff
So just point the pkgconfig tool at unix, then config.
The unix files are only need if the abstraction not enough
to calculate things. Eg if you need an extra -pthread switch
as on old Solaris systems.
With pre-built configs the ONLY thing you need to build Felix
would be to choose a place to point flx_pkgconfig at.
