PORT-RESOLVE-LIB-HELPER(1)

💅 PORT-RESOLVE-LIB-HELPER(1) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for PORT-RESOLVE-LIB-HELPER(1) — let's get into it. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

port-resolve-lib-helper — resolve library specs during ports build. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

port-resolve-lib-helper [-needed] [-silent] spec ...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so port-resolve-lib-helper resolves library specs against a list of installed libraries. no cap. it takes a list of file names with full path on stdin, and matches each library spec against those libraries, using library-specs(7) conventions. ✨

in particular, X11BASE and LOCALBASE are used to locate X11 libraries and port libraries. 🌈

port-resolve-lib-helper will print the best libraries found in a format suitable for @wantlib (see pkg_create(1)). obsessed with a @wantlib-ready moment. 🎀

each spec not found will result in an error message and exit code. periodt. 💀

the options are:

• -silent — if this option is used, nothing will be displayed. literally nothing, bestie. 🙈
• -needed — this option is used to sort out LIB_DEPENDS: port-resolve-lib-helper will succeed if at least one of the libraries matches against a shared library passed on the command line. slay for dependency sorting. 🔥

and finally: this is a helper script used by bsd.port.mk(5) to complete all wantlib information for pkg_create(1) and other tools. main character helper energy fr fr. 👑
