This document describes an approach applied to packaging Xerces-C++ for
build2. In particular, this understanding will be useful when upgrading to a
new upstream version.
The upstream package contains the libxerces-c C++ library, its usage examples,
and tests. Currently, we only package the library (see libxerces-c/README-DEV
for details).
We add the upstream package as a git submodule and symlink the required files
and subdirectories into the build2 package subdirectories. Then, when required,
we "overlay" the upstream with our own header/source files, placing them into
the library directory.
Note that symlinking upstream submodule subdirectories into a build2 package
subdirectory results in creating intermediate build files (.d, .o, etc) inside
upstream directory while building the package in source tree. That's why we
need to make sure that packages do not share upstream source files via
subdirectory symlinks, not to also share the related intermediate files. If
several packages need to compile the same upstream source file, then only one
of them can symlink it via the parent directory while others must symlink it
directly. We also add the `ignore = untracked` configuration option into
.gitmodules to make sure that git ignores the intermediate build files under
upstream/ subdirectory.
The upstream package can be configured to contain a specific feature set. We
reproduce the union of features configured for the upstream source package in
Debian and Fedora distributions. The configuration options defining these sets
are specified in the Debian's rules and Fedora's RPM .spec files. These files
can be obtained as follows:
$ wget http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xerces-c/xerces-c_3.2.3+debian-1.debian.tar.xz
$ tar xf xerces-c_3.2.3+debian-1.debian.tar.xz debian/rules
$ wget https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/xerces-c/3.2.3/1.fc33/src/xerces-c-3.2.3-1.fc33.src.rpm
$ rpm2cpio xerces-c-3.2.3-1.fc33.src.rpm | cpio -civ '*.spec'
As a side note, on Debian and Fedora the source, library, and headers are
packaged as follows:
src libxerces-c headers
Debian/Ubuntu: xerces-c libxerces-c3.2 libxerces-c-dev
Fedora/RHEL: xerces-c xerces-c xerces-c-devel
Search for the Debian and Fedora packages at https://packages.debian.org/search
and https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/.
Here are the discovered configuration options.
Debian:
--enable-netaccessor-curl --disable-sse2
Fedora:
--disable-sse2 # Only affects i686.
Note that some of the features are selected by the configure scripts
automatically. To deduce them we check the Debian and Fedora build logs.
Debian (https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=xerces-c&arch=amd64&ver=3.2.3%2Bdebian-1&stamp=1586641244&raw=0):
configure: Report:
configure: File Manager: POSIX
configure: Mutex Manager: standard
configure: Transcoder: icu
configure: NetAccessor: curl
configure: Message Loader: inmemory
configure: XMLCh Type: char16_t
Fedora (https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/xerces-c/3.2.3/1.fc33/data/logs/aarch64/build.log):
configure: Report:
configure: File Manager: POSIX
configure: Mutex Manager: standard
configure: Transcoder: gnuiconv
configure: NetAccessor: socket
configure: Message Loader: inmemory
configure: XMLCh Type: char16_t
Based on that and taking into account the dependencies we have packaged for
build2, we end up with the following configuration options:
--enable-netaccessor-curl --enable-transcoder-icu \
--enable-msgloader-inmemory --enable-xmlch-char16_t \
--enable-mutexmgr-standard --disable-sse2
See the configuration options description at the "Build Instructions" page
(http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/build-3.html).
We, however, disable the network support by default, replacing the
--enable-netaccessor-curl option with --disable-network. The user, will still
be able to enable network by setting the config.libxerces_c.network project
configuration variable to true.
Also we use a native transcoder on Mac OS and Windows by default, replacing
the --enable-transcoder-icu option with
--enable-transcoder-macosunicodeconverter and --enable-transcoder-windows,
respectively. The user, will still be able to enable the ICU transcoder by
setting the config.libxerces_c.transcoder_icu project configuration variable
to true.
Normally, when packaging a project, we need to replace some auto-generated
headers with our own implementations, deduce the compilation/linking options
and the source files to compile. For Xerces-C++ we can rely on the
configure.ac, config.h.cmake.in, src/{CMakeLists.txt,Makefile.am},
src/xercesc/util/{XercesVersion,Xerces_autoconf_config}.hpp.in. In practice,
however, that can be uneasy and error prone, so you may also need to refer to
auto-generated header files or to see the actual compiler and linker command
lines in the build log. If that's the case, you can configure/build the
upstream package on the platform of interest running the following commands in
the upstream project root directory.
On POSIX:
$ ./reconf
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure --enable-netaccessor-curl --enable-transcoder-icu \
--enable-msgloader-inmemory --enable-xmlch-char16_t \
--enable-mutexmgr-standard --disable-sse2 >build.log
$ make V=1 >>build.log 2>&1
Note that on Windows, to reduce complexity, we may build the upstream package
with the native network accessor (rather than with the cURL-based network
accessor).
For MSVC:
> mkdir build
> cd build
> cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ^
-Dnetwork-accessor=winsock -Dtranscoder=windows ^
-Dmessage-loader=inmemory -Dxmlch-type=char16_t -Dmutex-manager=standard ^
-Dmfc-debug:BOOL=OFF -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL=ON .. >build.log
> cmake --build . >>build.log 2>&1
For MinGW GCC:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -Dnetwork-accessor=winsock -Dtranscoder=windows \
-Dmessage-loader=inmemory -Dxmlch-type=char16_t -Dmutex-manager=standard \
-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE:BOOL=ON .. >build.log
$ make V=1 >>build.log 2>&1
When the packaging is complete, build all the project packages in source tree
and make sure that no Xerces-C++ headers are included from the system, running
the following command from the project root:
fgrep -a -e /usr/include/xercesc `find . -type f -name '*.d'`
