# Package Managers

## Requirements

*   Dependencies 
*   Allow source or binary forms 
*   Provide build dependencies 
    *   Recursive dependencies 
*   Compatible with SVN repo layout 
*   Cross-platform utils 
*   UI?

# asbo

*   <http://github.com/canton7/asbo> 
*   Lightweight 
*   Still needs dependency resolution work?

Language
:   Ruby, INI

Interface
:   cli

Integration
:   TeamCity, FTP

Concepts
:   include path substitution, library path substitution

# pkg-config

*   <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config> 
*   <http://people.freedesktop.org/~dbn/pkg-config-guide.html>

# RTSC / XDCtools

Repo paths

Build config
:   configuro, configuro.sg

## Concepts

*   Canonical package directory: cognomen.utils.c-msggen/ 
*   Arbitrarily name package repos 
*   Package paths (much like Java Classpaths) 
*   Canonical include paths?

#include <acme/utils/Bench.h>
    #include <charlie/sqrtlib/isqrt.h>
    #include <xdc/runtime/System.h>

*   Build configuration in prog.cfg (JavaScript) 
*   configuro takes *prog*.cfg and produces compiler.opt and linker.cmd

## Pulling package dependencies

## Linking to shared libs

# buildr

*   <http://buildr.apache.org> 
*   Based on rake 
*   packaging

See [BuildrForC][5]

# mingw-get
