There are numerous ways that one can specify compile-time package
inclusion or exclusion and they are all implemented by the
genmake2 program which was previously described in Section
3.5. The options are as follows:
- Setting the genamake2 options -enable PKG
and/or -disable PKG specifies inclusion or exclusion.
This method is intended as a convenient way to perform a single
(perhaps for a quick test) compilation.
- By creating a text file with the name packages.conf in
either the local build directory or the -mods=DIR
directory, one can specify a list of packages (one package per line,
with '#' as the comment character) to be included. Since
the packages.conf file can be saved, this is the preferred
method for setting and recording (for future reference) the package
configuration.
- For convenience, a list of ``standard'' package groups is
contained in the pkg/pkg_groups file. By selecting one of
the package group names in the packages.conf file, one
automatically obtains all packages in that group.
- By default (that is, if a packages.conf file is not
found), the genmake2 program will use the contents of the
pkg/pkg_default file to obtain a list of packages.
- To help prevent users from creating unusable package groups, the
genmake2 program will parse the contents of the
pkg/pkg_depend file to determine:
- whether any two requested packages cannot be simultaneously
included (eg. seaice and thsice are
mutually exclusive),
- whether additional packages must be included in order to
satisfy package dependencies (eg. rw depends
upon functionality within the mdsio package), and
- whether the set of all requested packages is compatible with
the dependencies (and producing an error if they aren't).
Thus, as a result of the dependencies, additional packages may be
added to those originally requested.
