PKGCONF-PERSONALITY(5) File Formats Manual PKGCONF-PERSONALITY(5) 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 nec- essary 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 assign- ment 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 three 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 vari- able substitution has been done. Elements are delimited with a colon. Boolean The property will be set to true if the value is one of: true, yes or 1. Otherwise it will be set to false. PROPERTY KEYWORDS Triplet The triplet used by the cross-compile toolchain. (mandatory; lit- eral) SysrootDir The directory used by the system root of the cross-compile tool- chain. (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) WantDefaultPure If true, pkgconf will default to preferring a pure dependency graph. (optional; boolean; default is false) WantDefaultStatic If true, pkgconf will default to operating in static linking mode. (optional; boolean; default is false) 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 SEE ALSO pkgconf(1), pc(5), pkg.m4(7) FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly July 19, 2018 PKGCONF-PERSONALITY(5)
