With sourcing alone I could not resolve the depends inside functions
in the PKGBUILD. A relatively complex but working solution was to use
a first check with grep, to see if the depends are inside functions or
in the main section. If they are inside functions, then use perl to
extract all depends-sections from the file, then source the PKGBUILD
to resolve variables in the depends. Its not a super nice solution,
but works pretty ok. In summary it looks something like this
(pseudo-code):
# get the file contents, remove comments, and concatenate it into
# a single big string (to remove line breaks):
FILE=$(cat PKGBUILD|perl -pe 's@#.*@@g'|tr '\n' ' ')
# iteratively extract the depends=(.*) blocks. This required a loop
# over the multiple occurrences of depends=... in the file:
PROPERTYVALUES=...
# export the variables from the PKGBUILD:
set -o allexport
# use envsubst from 'gettext' to resolve the variables in the string:
export MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX="mingw-w64"
source PKGBUILD
PROPERTYVALUES=$(echo "${PROPERTYVALUES}"|envsubst)
# turn off exporting variables:
set +o allexport
