So here is my tests case: I start with this file:
//======================================== // tgmp.flx //======================================== include "gmp"; open Gmp; var x : mpz = mpz_of_int 42; var y = x + x; println$ y; //======================================= and I want to do this: flx --felix=build.fpc tgmp and have it work. First: sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/felix/packages sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/felix/packages/share sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/felix/packages/share/lib sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/felix/packages/host sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/felix/packages/host/config I make the package directory. I have chosen to make it "in the image" of the usual install directory. Next I get this file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/felix-lang/gmp/master/GMP/gmp.flx (I just used my browser) and copy it into the package directory sudo cp gmp.flx /usr/local/lib/felix/packages/share/lib So now, I need to make a config file for it called gmp.fpc Name: gmp Description: GNU Multiple precision Arithmetic provides_dlib: -lgmpxx provides_slib: -lgmpxx requires_slibs: -lgmp requires_dlibs: -lgmp which I put in /usr/local/lib/felix/packages/host/config This works for me: gmp.h and gmpxx.h are in /usr/local/include and libgmp.so and libgmpxx.so and libgmp.a and libgmpxx.a are in /usr/local/lib, for some reason I don't understand these are already searched by C__. Note there is a BUG in the build of libgmpxx.so, it isn't linked to libgmp.so as it should be probably because I copied it out of /opt/local/lib. So I have to put in a requirement for a dlib, this normally should never be required (the linker should handle dependencies for dynamic libraries). Now my control files is called build.fpc and looks like this: FLX_INSTALL_DIR: build/release FLX_CACHE_DIR: build/release/cache/binary FLX_OUTPUT_DIR: build/release/cache/text FLX_LIB_DIRS: build/release/share/lib /usr/local/lib/felix/packages/share/lib FLX_CONFIG_DIRS build/release/host/config /usr/local/lib/felix/packages/host/config So I'm running off build/release. However I'm searching the package directory for Felix libs to find the binding we just installed, and both the build/release host config database as well as the package one. Note if you set FLX_LIB_DIRS or FLX_CONFIG_DIRS you have to set the complete list of them, the default paths are wiped out. -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
