-# Developper Guide: use AGL CMake Templates

+Application Framework.
-Files used to build an application, or binding, project with the
-AGL Application Framework.
+To build your AGL project using these templates, you have to installed them as
+a CMake module. The easy way is to install using your distro package manager
+following [this guide](http://docs.automotivelinux.org/docs/devguides/en/dev/reference/host-configuration/docs/1_Prerequisites.html).
-To build your AGL project using these templates, you have to install
-them within your project and adjust compilation option in `config.cmake`.
-For technical reasons, you also have to specify **cmake** target in
-sub CMakeLists.txt installed. Make a globbing search to find source files
-isn't recommended now to handle project build especially in a multiuser
-project because CMake will not be aware of new or removed source files.
+Then install it, depending of your distro:
+
+* **Debian/Ubuntu**
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install agl-cmake-apps-module-bin
+```
+
+* **openSUSE**
+
+```bash
+sudo zypper install agl-cmake-apps-module
+```
+
+* **Fedora**
+
+```bash
+sudo dnf install agl-cmake-apps-module

-## Manage app-templates submodule
-
-### Update
-
-You may have some news bug fixes or features available from app-templates
-repository that you want. To update your submodule proceed like the following:
-
-```bash
-git submodule update --remote
-git commit -s conf.d/app-templates
-```
-
-This will update the submodule to the HEAD of master branch repository. Save
-the modification by commiting it in your master git project.
-
-### Checkout submodule to a git tag
-
-You could just want to update at a specified repository tag or branch or commit
-, here are the method to do so:
-
-```bash
-cd conf.d/app-templates
-# Choose one of the following depending what you want
-git checkout <tag_name>
-git checkout --detach <branch_name>
-git checkout --detach <commit_id>
-# Then commit
-cd ../..
-git commit -s conf.d/app-templates
-```

-# Autobuild script usage
+# Autobuild script
+
+The Applications based on AGL framework should have a full packaging solution,
+independently of yocto workflow.
+
+Unfortunately the build part of the Applications is only in documentation or in
+yocto recipes.
+
+The Applications build with AGL framework must be automated without any yocto
+recipes.
+
+A script named **autobuild** is used to control applications build operations.
+The bbclass aglwgt.bbclass will call the **autobuild** script for all operations
+and is located at the top level of the application repository.
+
+This script could be written in one of the following languages:
+
+* Makefile
+* Bash
+* Python
+
+The script will be executed directly after a chmod() on it (this implies that the caller should make the script executable before calling it: caller could be aglwgt.bbclass, a jenkins job, a 'real' developer ...)
+An appropriate shebang is required to make the script callable directly:
+
+* '#!/usr/bin/make -f' for Makefile format,
+* '#/usr/bin/bash' for Bash
+* etc.
+
+The calling convention is close to the one from make, in particular to pass arguments through env variables. This is also easy for bash, as a simple eval on arguments will set environment variables correctly.
+The generic call has the following format:
+
+```bash
+autobuild/agl/autobuild <command> [ARG1="value1" [ARG2="value2" ... ]]
+```
+
+autobuild can be invoked from any directory and all relative paths are
+considered to be relative to the location of autobuild.
+
+For makefile scripts, this is the usual behaviour.
+
+For bash scripts, running a 'cd $(dirname $0)' at the beginning is mandatory.
+
+At build time, the following calls must be made in the following order:
+
+```bash
+autobuild/agl/autobuild configure CONFIGURE_ARGS="..."
+```
+
+initializes the build environment (ex: if app uses cmake, the 'configure''
+step will run cmake)

+autobuild/agl/autobuild build BUILD_ARGS="...."

+
+builds the application (compile, link binaries, assembles javascript etc.)
+
+```bash
+autobuild/agl/autobuild package PACKAGE_ARGS="..." DEST=<path for resulting wgt

+caller
+
+```bash
+autobuild/agl/autobuild package-test PACKAGE_ARGS="..." DEST=<path for resulting wgt
+file(s)>

+creates the test widget package(s) in the specified destination path prepared by the
+caller
