Ognibuild is a simple wrapper with a common interface for invoking any kind of build tool.
The ideas is that it can be run to build and install any source code directory by detecting the build system that is in use and invoking that with the correct parameters.
It can also detect and install missing dependencies.
The goal of ognibuild is to provide a consistent CLI that can be used for any software package. It is mostly useful for automated building of large sets of diverse packages (e.g. different programming languages).
It is not meant to expose all functionality that is present in the underlying build systems. To use that, invoke those build systems directly.
Ognibuild has a number of subcommands:
ogni clean- remove any built artifactsogni dist- create a source tarballogni build- build the package in-treeogni install- install the packageogni test- run the testsuite in the source directory
It also includes a subcommand that can fix up the build dependencies for Debian packages, called deb-fix-build.
ogni -d https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/fractal install
If you run into any issues, please see Debugging.
Ognibuild is functional, but sometimes rough around the edges. If you run into issues (or lack of support for a particular ecosystem), please file a bug.
