Name
appcompile — Compile software automatically
Description
This manual page documents briefly the appcompile
command.
appcompile
automatically compiles applications from source code. It will detect the build system
(cmake, automake, ...) and then perform the necessary steps to generate the binary. appcompile can be used together
with libuild, the Listaller build tool, to compile applications easily.
Options
-s
, --sourcedir=DIRECTORY
Path to source of the application which should be compiled.
-o
, --target_dir=DIRECTORY
Path where the resulting binaries should be installed to.
--strip
Strip debug information from resulting binaries.
--version
Display version number of appcompile
--verbose
Turn on verbose mode (this can be used for debugging).

lipkgen (1), depscan (1).
Additional documentation can be found on http://listaller.tenstral.net.
Name

This manual page documents briefly the depscan
command.
depscan

and ouputs them in form of a list.
Options
-r
, --recursive
Search for binaries in recursive mode.
--out-simpletext
Output simple, machine-readable text.
-c
, --out-components
Output dependencies as Listaller components (versioned, if version could be determined).
--version
Display version number of depscan
-v
, --verbose
Turn on verbose mode (useful for debugging purposes).

Name
lig++ — Wrapper around g++ to create more portable apps
Description
This manual page documents briefly the lig++
command.
lig++
is a wrapper around ligcc.
It allows you to create more portable executables, see the ligcc manual page for more
information.
Options
See the manpage of g++(1) for more information about possible options.
There are also several environment variables available to modify lig++'s behavior check the documentation for
more information.
See Also
libuild (1), ligcc(1), gcc(1).
Additional documentation can be found on http://listaller.tenstral.net.
Name
ligcc — Wrapper around gcc to create more portable apps
Description
This manual page documents briefly the ligcc
command.
ligcc
is a wrapper around gcc.
It allows you to create more portable executables by doing three things:
Forces the linker to link against older glibc symbols.
Users who are using an older version of glibc will no longer get
"undefined symbol GLIBC_2.4 in /lib/libc.so"-style error messages.
Allows you to easily statically link to any other library.
Automatically removes bogus dependencies. For example, your program uses libfoo.
libfoo uses libpng internally, but your app does not. Yet the pkg-config file for
libfoo specifies "-lfoo -lpng" is linker parameters.
And tadaa - you now have a bogus dependency on libpng!
LiGCC automatically removes the -lpng for you if your app doesn't use libpng directly.
Add $ORIGIN/../lib to the binary's library search path. $ORIGIN is the directory in which the binary exists.
This ensures that your binary can find library dependencies which are placed in the 'lib' folder under the
same prefix. You might want to install custom libraries into /lib.
If you set $APBUILD_PROJECTNAME, ligcc will also add $ORIGIN/../lib/$APBUILD_PROJECTNAME to the library search path.
Options
See the manpage of gcc(1) for more information about possible options.
There are also several environment variables available to modify ligcc's behavior check the documentation for
more information.

Name
relaytool — Generate a file that can be used instead of linking directly against a library
Synopsis
relaytool
[OPTION ...
] [LINKER COMMAND ...
]
Description
This manual page documents briefly the relaytool
command.
relaytool
is a program to provide a more convenient interface to dlopen/dlsym.
It lets you write the same style of code you would when using a normal hard link (-lwhatever),
but the symbols are actually lazy-linked at runtime. You can use the symbols libwhatever_is_present
and libwhatever_symbol_is_present() to find out what APIs are actually available at runtime.
In other words, the need to use function pointers and lots of manual calls to dlsym() is eliminated,
and it becomes much simpler to soft link to things as a result.
If a symbol is missing at runtime and you call it anyway, your application will abort and an error
message is printed that states which function was called.
If a variable is missing at runtime, the value is always -1.
Options
--relay LIB
If a matching -lLIB is found, generate a file
that can be used instead of linking directly to
LIB. The name of the file is echoed on stdout.
Multiple --relay can be used together, a file will
be generated for each matching ones.
--replace-all-libs
Generate a file for every -lLIB parameter.
--minimal-list OBJ_LIST
Will look in OBJ_LIST for undefined symbols, and
generate a file creating only the needed symbols
for each LIB.
--partial-map MAP_FILE
Generate a file creating only the symbols contained
in MAP_FILE. Will apply to all further -lLIB
parameters, so in general is not suitable to
multiple libs in the same invocation of relaytool.
--no-replace
Echo -lLIB on stdout even if a --relay LIB is
found, so it'll be linked in normally.
--multilink [SONAMES...]
If a library has different SONAMES on different
Linux distributions you can specify the various
SONAMES that it's known by here. Relaytool will
attempt to load them (in the order provided) until
one if found. This cannot be used with multiple
--relay options. The first SONAME in the list will
be used as the name in the _is_present variable and
_symbol_is_present function.
--out-dir DIRECTORY
Write stub file to DIRECTORY instead of CWD.
Linker commands
-LPATH
Add PATH to the list of paths to search for LIBs.
-lLIB
If a matching --relay LIB is found (or if
--replace-all-libs is specified), generate a file
that can be used instead of linking directly to
LIB. If there's no --relay LIB, echo -lLIB to stdout.
All other linker commands are passed as is to stdout.
Other commands
-h
, --help
Show some help.
--version
Display version information of relaytool
