NAME

oasis.eclass - Provides common ebuild phases for oasis-based packages.

DESCRIPTION

Provides common ebuild phases for oasis-based packages. Most of these packages will just have to inherit the eclass, set their dependencies and the DOCS variable for base.eclass to install it and be done.

It inherits multilib, findlib, eutils and base eclasses. Ebuilds using oasis.eclass must be EAPI>=3.

FUNCTIONS

oasis_use_enable < useflag > < variable >: A use_enable-like function for oasis configure variables. Outputs '--override variable (true|false)', whether useflag is enabled or not. Typical usage: $(oasis_use_enable ocamlopt is_native) as an oasis configure argument.
oasis_src_configure: src_configure phase shared by oasis-based packages. Extra arguments may be passed via oasis_configure_opts.
oasis_src_compile: Builds an oasis-based package. Will build documentation if OASIS_BUILD_DOCS is defined and the doc useflag is enabled.
oasis_src_test: Runs the testsuite of an oasis-based package.
oasis_src_install: Installs an oasis-based package. It calls base_src_install_docs, so will install documentation declared in the DOCS variable.

ECLASS VARIABLES

OASIS_BUILD_DOCS: Will make oasis_src_compile build the documentation if this variable is defined and the doc useflag is enabled. The eclass takes care of setting doc in IUSE but the ebuild should take care of the extra dependencies it may need. Set before inheriting the eclass.
OASIS_BUILD_TESTS: Will make oasis_src_configure enable building the tests if the test useflag is enabled. oasis_src_test will then run them. Note that you sometimes need to enable this for src_test to be useful, sometimes not. It has to be enabled on a per-case basis. The eclass takes care of setting test in IUSE but the ebuild should take care of the extra dependencies it may need. Set before inheriting the eclass.
OASIS_NO_DEBUG: Disable debug useflag usage. Old oasis versions did not support it so we allow disabling it in those cases. The eclass takes care of setting debug in IUSE. Set before inheriting the eclass.
OASIS_DOC_DIR ?= "/usr/share/doc/${PF}/html": Specify where to install documentation. Default is for ocamldoc HTML. Change it before inherit if this is not what you want. EPREFIX is automatically prepended.
