Cygclasses

DESCRIPTION

Cygclasses serve as cygport's standard library, allowing cygport to support so many different types of packaging scenarios. They may accept variables to control their behaviour, provide definitions and/or functions for use in .cygport files, and some can completely control the build process without further intervention.

Cygclasses are imported via the inherit command at the top of your .cygport file. Because of the predominance of GNU autotools, the autotools.cygclass is automatically imported (as explained there).

These Cygclasses allow downloading from various servers and repositories:

bzr.cygclass - For downloading sources from Bazaar repositories.
cvs.cygclass - For downloading sources from CVS repositories.
fossil.cygclass - For downloading sources from Fossil repositories.
git.cygclass - For downloading sources from Git repositories.
gnome.org.cygclass - For downloading sources from GNOME mirrors.
hg.cygclass - For downloading sources from Mercurial repositories.
kde.org.cygclass - For downloading sources from KDE mirrors.
mtn.cygclass - For downloading sources from Monotone repositories.
python.org.cygclass - For downloading sources from PyPI.
svn.cygclass - For downloading sources from Subversion repositories.

These Cygclasses handle various buildsystems:

autotools.cygclass - For packages using the autoconf/automake/libtool buildsystem.
cmake.cygclass - For packages using the CMake buildsystem.
meson.cygclass - For packages using the Meson buildsystem.
ninja.cygclass - For packages using the Ninja buildsystem.
qt3-qmake.cygclass - For packages which depend on Qt 3.x and use the qmake buildsystem.
