This repo provide a simple default -file _config.xml.in_ that should work for simple application without -interactions with others bindings. - -It is recommanded that you use the sample one which is more complete. You can -find it at the same location under the name _config.xml.in.sample_ (stunning -isn't it). Just copy the sample file to your _conf.d/wgt_ directory and name it -_config.xml.in_, then edit it to fit your needs. - -> ***CAUTION*** : The default file is only meant to be use for a -> simple widget app, more complicated ones which needed to export -> their api, or ship several app in one widget need to use the provided -> _config.xml.in.sample_ which had all new Application Framework -> features explained and examples. - -#### Using cmake template macros - -To leverage all cmake templates features, you have to specify ***properties*** -on your targets. Some macros will not works without specifying which is the -target type. - -As the type is not always specified for some custom targets, like an ***HTML5*** -application, macros make the difference using ***LABELS*** property. - -Choose between: - -- **BINDING**: Shared library that be loaded by the AGL Application Framework -- **BINDINGV2**: Shared library that be loaded by the AGL Application Framework. - This has to be accompagnied with a JSON file named like the *${OUTPUT_NAME}-apidef* of - the target that describe the API with OpenAPI syntax (e.g: *mybinding-apidef*). - Or you can choose the name by setting the *CACHE* cmake variable *OPENAPI_DEF* - (***CAUTION***: setting a CACHE variable is needed, or set a normal variable - with the *PARENT_SCOPE* option to make it visible for the parent scope - where the target is defined) JSON file will be used to generate header file - using `afb-genskel` tool. -- **HTDOCS**: Root directory of a web app. This target has to build its - directory and puts its files in the ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${TARGET_NAME} -- **DATA**: Resources used by your application.

This is already handle by template and will be installed in the -> following path : **${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/${PROJECT_NAME}** - -## Macro reference - -### PROJECT_TARGET_ADD - -Typical usage would be to add the target to your project using macro -`PROJECT_TARGET_ADD` with the name of your target as parameter. - -Example: - -```cmake -PROJECT_TARGET_ADD(low-can-demo) -``` - -> ***NOTE***: This will make available the variable `${TARGET_NAME}` -> set with the specificied name. This variable will change at the next call -> to this macros. - -### project_subdirs_add - -This macro will search in all subfolder any `CMakeLists.txt` file. If found then -it will be added to your project. This could be use in an hybrid application by -example where the binding lay in a sub directory. - -Usage : - -```cmake -project_subdirs_add() -``` - -You also can specify a globbing pattern as argument to filter which folders -will be looked for. - -To filter all directories that begin with a number followed by a dash the -anything: - -```cmake -project_subdirs_add("[0-9]-*") -``` - -## Advanced customization - -### Including additionnals cmake files - -#### Machine and system custom cmake files - -Advanced tuning is possible using addionnals cmake files that are included -automatically from some specifics locations. They are included in that order: - -- Project CMake files normaly located in _<project-root-path>/conf.d/app-templates/cmake/cmake.d_ -- Home CMake files located in _$HOME/.config/app-templates/cmake.d_ -- System CMake files located in _/etc/app-templates/cmake.d_ - -CMake files has to be named using the following convention: `XX-common*.cmake` -or `XX-${PROJECT_NAME}*.cmake`, where `XX` are numbers, `*` file name -(ie. `99-common-my_customs.cmake`). - -> **NOTE** You need to specify after numbers that indicate include order, to -which project that file applies, if it applies to all project then use keyword -`common`. - -So, saying that you should be aware that every normal cmake variables used at -project level could be overwrited by home or system located cmake files if -variables got the same name. Exceptions are cached variables set using -**CACHE** keyword: - -Example: - -```cmake -set(VARIABLE_NAME 'value string random' CACHE STRING 'docstring') -``` - -#### OS custom cmake files - -This is meant to personalize the project depending on the OS your are using. -At the end of config.cmake, common.cmake will include lot of cmake file to -customize project build depending on your plateform. It will detect your OS -deducing it from file _/etc/os-release_ now as default in almost all Linux -distribution. - -So you can use the value of field **ID_LIKE** or **ID** if the -first one doesn't exists and add a cmake file for that distribution in your -_conf.d/cmake/_ directory or relatively to your _app-templates_ submodule path -_app-templates/../cmake/_ - -Those files has to be named use the following scheme _XX-${OSRELEASE}*.cmake_ -where _XX_ are numbers, ${OSRELEASE} the **ID_LIKE** or **ID** field from -_/etc/os-release_ file. - -### Include customs templated scripts - -As well as for additionnals cmake files you can include your own templated -scripts that will be passed to cmake command `configure_file`. - -Just create your own script to the following directories: - -- Home location in _$HOME/.config/app-templates/scripts_ -- System location in _/etc/app-templates/scripts_ - -Scripts only needs to use the extension `.in` to be parsed and configured by -CMake command. - -## Autobuild script usage - -### Generation - -To be integrated in the Yocto build workflow you have to generate `autobuild` -scripts using _autobuild_ target. - -To generate those scripts proceeds: - -```bash -mkdir -p build -cd build -cmake .. && make autobuild -``` - -You should see _conf.d/autobuild/agl/autobuild_ file now. - -### Available targets - -Here are the available targets available from _autobuild_ scripts: - -- **clean** : clean build directory from object file and targets results. -- **distclean** : delete build directory -- **configure** : generate project Makefile from CMakeLists.txt files. -- **build** : compile all project targets. -- **package** : build and output a wgt package. - -You can specify variables that modify the behavior of compilation using -the following variables: - -- **CONFIGURE_ARGS** : Variable used at **configure** time. -- **BUILD_ARGS** : Variable used at **build** time. -- **DEST** : Directory where to output ***wgt*** file. - -Variable as to be in CMake format. (ie: BUILD_ARGS="-DC_FLAGS='-g -O2'") - -Usage example: - -```bash -./conf.d/autobuild/wgt/autobuild package DEST=/tmp -``` |
