NAME¶
file.personality
—
pkgconf cross-compile personality file format
DESCRIPTION¶
pkgconf cross-compile personality files provide a useful mechanism for storing various information about system toolchains. Information stored by.personality
files include information about paths
used by a cross-compile toolchain, such as the sysroot directory and default
include and library paths. pkgconf uses this information to determine what
information is necessary to use libraries.
FILE SYNTAX¶
The.personality
file follows a format inspired by
RFC822. Comments are prefixed by a pound sign, hash sign or octothorpe (#),
and variable assignment is similar to POSIX shell. Properties are defined
using RFC822-style stanzas.
PROPERTIES¶
Properties are set using RFC822-style stanzas which consist of a keyword, followed by a colon (:) and then the value the property should be set to. Variable substitution is always performed regardless of property type.There are two types of property:
- Literal
- The property will be set to the text of the value.
- Fragment List
- The property will be set to a list of fragments parsed from the text. The input text must be in a format that is suitable for passing to a POSIX shell without any shell expansions after variable substitution has been done.
PROPERTY KEYWORDS¶
- Triplet
- The triplet used by the cross-compile toolchain. (mandatory; literal)
- SysrootDir
- The directory used by the system root of the cross-compile toolchain. (mandatory; literal)
- DefaultSearchPaths
- A list of directories to look for pc(5) files in. (mandatory; fragment list)
- SystemIncludePaths
- A list of directories that are included by default in the search path for include files. (mandatory; fragment list)
- SystemLibraryPaths
- A list of directories that are included by default in the search path for libraries. (mandatory; fragment list)
EXAMPLES¶
An example .personality file:# This is a comment Triplet: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu SysrootDir: /home/kaniini/sysroot/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu DefaultSearchPaths: /home/kaniini/sysroot/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib/pkgconfig \ /home/kaniini/sysroot/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/share/pkgconfig SystemIncludePaths: /home/kaniini/sysroot/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/include SystemLibraryPaths: /home/kaniini/sysroot/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib
