Basic package manage useful for managing cross compiling libraries, and their specific configuration flags.
Extremely basic, I wanted something that would just pull the latest tagged release from github of any repo that I pointed it to.
And have a basic dependancy system.
The current example.json file will build openssh dynamically linked against openssh, and zlib for arm (if you have the toolchain installed, I use crosstools-ng).
As the current embedded system Im working on doesnt have a version of glibc that I could build. I used the --rpath and --dynamic-linker options in the openssh build in order to essentially just use another directory for glibc.
But that isnt super relevant.
See the example.json for how to specifying 'packages' to pull. This just means the most recent tagged item on a github repo.
After that the program will download, configure and build all libraries.
So, the package dependancy system is fairly untested and hacked together. PRobably wont stop you from making cyclic dependancies. So just be kind to it and dont do that.
