Abuild and Helpers

Warning: This page is for information purposes only. The abuild script is installed automatically along with the alpine-sdk package

Introduction

The abuild tree is a directory tree with scripts, example-files, makefiles, and other things that you need when creating packages.

The abuild script reads the APKBUILD and executes the steps needed to create a package.
abuild has a config file that you can modify for your own needs.

alpine.mk is used when creating a Alpine Linux iso image or tar.gz.

While inside your build environment you need to have the set of scripts/makefiles/etc.

Note: You only need to do these 2 steps once! Next time you can skip this part.

apk add alpine-sdk cd ~ git clone git://dev.alpinelinux.org/abuild

When the above is done you might be interested in fetching the latest updates.

cd ~ git pull
