The clean tree can be found 22 at: 23 24 src/third_party/yasm/source/yasm 25 26 2) Run configure on the pristine source from a different directory (eg., 27 /tmp/yasm_build). Running configure from another directory will keep 28 the source tree clean. 29 30 3) Next, capture all the output from a build of yasm. We will use the build 31 log as a reference for making the yasm.gyp file. 32 33 make yasm > yasm_build_log 2> yasm_build_err 34 35 4) Check yasm_build_err to see if there are any anomalies beyond yasm's 36 compiler warnings. 37 38 5) Grab the generated Makefile, libyasm-stdint.h, config.h, and put into 39 the correct platform location. For android platform, copy the files 40 generated for linux, but make sure that ENABLE_NLS is not defined to 41 allow mac host compiles to work. For ios, copy the files from mac. 42 43 src/third_party/yasm/source/config/[platform] 44 45 While we do not directly use the "Makefile" to build, it is needed by 46 the "genmodule" subprogram as input for creating the available modules 47 list. 48 49 6) Make sure all the subprograms are represented in yasm.gyp. 50 51 grep '^gcc' yasm_build_log | 52 grep -v ' -DHAVE_CONFIG_H ' 53 54 The yasm build creates a bunch of subprograms that in-turn generate 55 more .c files in the build. Luckily the commands to generate the 56 subprogram do not have -DHAVE_CONFIG_H as a cflag. 57 58 From this list, make sure all the subprograms that are build have 59 appropriate targets in the yasm.gyp. 60 61 You will notice, when you get to the next step, that there are some 62 .c source files that are compiled both for yasm, and for genperf. 63 64 Those should go into the genperf_libs target so that they can be 65 shared by the genperf and yasm targets. Find those files by appending 66 67 | grep 'gp-' 68 69 to the command above. 70 71 7) Find all the source files used to build yasm proper. 72 73 grep -E '^gcc' yasm_build_log | 74 grep ' -DHAVE_CONFIG_H ' | 75 awk '{print $NF }' | 76 sed -e "s/'\.\/'\`//" | # Removes some garbage from the build line. 77 sort -u | 78 sed -e "s/\(.*\)/'\1',/" # Add quotes to each line. 79 80 Reversing the -DHAVE_CONFIG_H filter from the command above should 81 list the compile lines for yasm proper. 82 83 This should get you close, but you will need to manually examine this 84 list. However, some of the built products are still included in the 85 command above. Generally, if the source file is in the root directory, 86 it's a generated file. 87 88 Inspect the current yasm.gyp for a list of the subprograms and their 89 outputs. 90 91 Update the sources list in the yasm target accordingly. Read step #9 92 as well if you update the source list to avoid problems. 93 94 8) Update the actions for each of the subprograms. 95 96 Here is the real fun. For each subprogram created, you will need to 97 update the actions and rules in yasm.gyp that invoke the subprogram to 98 generate the files needed by the rest of the build. 99 100 I don't have any good succinct instructions for this. Grep the build 101 log for each subprogram invocation (eg., "./genversion"), look at 102 its command inputs and output, then verify our yasm.gyp does something 103 similar. 104 105 The good news is things likely only link or compile if this is done 106 right so you'll know if there is a problem. 107 108 Again, refer to the existing yasm.gyp for a guide to how the generated 109 files are used. 110 111 Here are a few gotchas: 112 1) genmodule, by default, writes module.c into the current 113 directory. This does not play nicely with gyp. We patch the 114 source during build to allow specifying a specific output file. 115 116 2) Most of the generated files, even though they are .c files, are 117 #included by other files in the build. Make sure they end up 118 in a directory that is in the include path for the build. 119 One of <(shared_generated_dir) or <(generated_dir) should work. 120 121 3) Some of the genperf output is #included while others need to be 122 compiled directly. That is why there are 2 different rules for 123 .gperf files in two targets. 124 125 9) Check for python scripts that are run. 126 127 grep python yasm_build_log 128 129 Yasm uses python scripts to generate the assembly code description 130 files in C++. Make sure to get these put into the gyp file properly as 131 well. An example is gen_x86_insn.py for x86 assembly. 132 133 Note that at least the gen_x86_insn.py script suffers from the same 134 problem as genmacro in that it outputs to the current directory by 135 default. The yasm.gyp build patches this file before invoking it to 136 allow specifying an output directory. 137 138 10) If all that's is finished, attempt to build....and cross your fingers. 139
