# machine.conf -- THIS machine's build options, merged into generated
# scripts' `meson setup` lines as -Dkey=value the moment the script is born.
# The stack file stays portable; this file changes per computer.

# HOW MANY JOBS, ONCE.  make reads MAKEFLAGS, cmake reads
# CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL, cargo reads CARGO_BUILD_JOBS -- and ninja reads
# nothing at all, defaulting to nproc+2, which is why the number has to be
# patched into its command line.  [all] covers every package here; a named
# section below overrides it (webkitgtk keeps 8 for RAM reasons).
#
#   [all]
#   jobs = 13
#
# `jobs` is patched into `ninja`, `./x.py` and `cargo build|install` lines
# when the script is generated -- rust's page says plainly that only the
# COMBINATION of --jobs on x.py and CARGO_BUILD_JOBS limits it.  A package
# built before you set this needs --regenerate to pick it up.
#
# ...and for make/cmake/cargo, one line in /etc/pkgusr/build.env:
#   MAKEFLAGS=-j13
# (lfs-helper derives the cmake and cargo variables from it, or from --jobs.)

# A HARDWARE-ONLY MESA HAS NOTHING TO FALL BACK TO.
#
# `gallium-drivers = radeonsi` alone means that when the hardware path
# cannot be set up for some EGL platform, there is no software renderer
# behind it and the app gets
#     libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen
# and then nothing.  The book says it twice, in its own words: for
# gallium-drivers "You should probably add the softpipe or llvmpipe option
# as a backup driver", and for vulkan-drivers "You should probably add the
# swrast option as a backup driver unless you don't need Vulkan at all".
#
# llvmpipe (not softpipe) because llvm is enabled below: it is the faster of
# the two software rasterisers and it is built from the same LLVM this
# machine already has.
# READ ONE PACKAGE FROM A DIFFERENT BOOK.
#
# The systemd book's linux-pam page lists systemd as REQUIRED; the 12.4
# SysV book's page has no Required section at all -- it wants only Shadow.
# Same package, two books, two dependency graphs, and this machine is SysV.
# `book =` points one package at another book, for everything: versions,
# dependencies and the generated script.
#
# Import the book once, then uncomment:
#     blfs import /path/to/BLFS-BOOK-12_4-nochunks.html
#
# [somepackage]
# book = /usr/share/blfs/books/BLFS-BOOK-12_4-nochunks.html
#
# AND linux-pam IS NOT THE CASE FOR IT, on the evidence.  Both pages were
# compared command by command:
#   13.1: Linux-PAM-1.7.2; systemd is in the REQUIRED list and in NO command
#   12.4: Linux-PAM-1.7.1; its commands include `rm -rf /usr/lib/systemd`
# So the newer page needs nothing from systemd to build -- the requirement
# is metadata -- and since 1.14.234 `install` drops avoided packages from a
# plan anyway.  Pointing linux-pam at 12.4 would cost a version (1.7.2 ->
# 1.7.1) and buy nothing.  Use `book =` where the COMMANDS differ, not
# where only the dependency list does.
#
# NOT a merge of two pages: taking the dependency list from one book and the
# commands from another gives a script neither book has tested -- the
# versions differ (1.7.1 vs 1.7.2), the switches differ, the doc tarball
# differs.  A whole page from the older book is something upstream shipped
# and someone ran.

# SHADOW: --disable-logind, because there is no libsystemd here.
#
# shadow 4.20 auto-detects logind and the book's page (written for a systemd
# host, where libsystemd is simply present) passes no switch either way, so
# configure stops:
#     checking for sd_session_get_remote_host in -lsystemd... no
#     configure: error: libsystemd not found.  If logind integration is not
#     required, disable it using the --disable-logind option.
# configure names the flag itself.  This is the case `book =` exists for --
# a page whose COMMANDS do not suit this machine -- but the 12.4 page would
# also mean shadow 4.18.0, and one switch is cheaper than four versions
# back.

# GST_DEBUG=<level> ONLY WORKS WITH THIS.  The book builds the core with

# Cost: a slightly larger library and one integer compare per log site while
# logging is off -- upstream's own default, what distributions ship.
# `gstreamer:gst_debug` is the same switch for a build that bundles the core
# as a meson SUBPROJECT; BLFS builds the core as its own package, so only
# this one applies (the subproject key would be dropped as unknown).
#
# THE PLUGINS MUST BE REBUILT AFTERWARDS.  gstconfig.h carries

# libgstwebrtc-1.0.so (the library, always built) and no webrtcbin element --

# same situation a build FAILURE, which is the outcome worth having.

# before anything is built -- but it costs you a run.
#
# # x264enc EXISTS ONLY WITH THIS.  The book: "Without this switch, plugins
# with dependencies on (A)GPL licensed libraries are not built" -- and
# x264enc is the H.264 encoder every camera site wants for publishing.

# WEBKITGTK: THE SWITCHES THE BOOK TURNS OFF.
#
# Each of these is off in the book's own cmake line, and each is invisible
# when missing -- no error, just a feature that does not work:
#
#   USE_WOFF2=OFF        a .woff2 icon font renders as a blank square
#   ENABLE_WEB_RTC=OFF   no camera or screen share in the browser
#   ENABLE_MEDIA_STREAM  the getUserMedia half of the same thing
#   USE_GSTREAMER_WEBRTC which backend does the WebRTC
#
# woff2 must be INSTALLED first (media.stack builds it just before
# webkitgtk), or the switch turns on support for a library that is not there.
#
# jobs = 8 rather than [all]'s 13: webkitgtk's link step is the biggest
# memory consumer in the stack, and the OOM killer takes the compiler.
# USE_LIBRICE=ON, and media.stack builds librice just before webkitgtk.
#
# webkitgtk 2.52 can take its ICE from librice instead of libnice, and with
# the GStreamer WebRTC backend on it defaults to librice:
#     Could NOT find Rice (missing: Io Proto)
#     librice-{io,proto} is needed for USE_LIBRICE.
# The BLFS page never hits this -- it does not enable USE_GSTREAMER_WEBRTC,
# so librice is not in the book at all (checked: the 13.1 book does not
# mention it).  libnice IS installed here and is what the rest of the
# WebRTC chain already uses, so this says "keep using it".
#
# To go the other way instead -- libnice, which the rest of the chain uses
# and which is already installed -- set this to OFF and nothing needs
# building.
# POPPLER WITHOUT THE SIGNATURE STACK.
#
# poppler's cmake calls these "soft mandatory": absent, they stop configure
# and name the switch themselves --
#     Could not find the 3.98 version of NSS3.  If you're not interested in
#     the features it provides set the cmake ENABLE_NSS3 option to OFF
# nss, boost and gpgmepp are all in avoid.stack AS POPPLER'S CHILDREN (they
# were avoided because poppler was), so each would fail the same way in
# turn.  They serve PDF signature verification and the splash backend;
# zathura's poppler-glib backend needs none of it.
#
# OBSERVED: ENABLE_NSS3 -- the failure above.
# ANTICIPATED: ENABLE_GPGME and ENABLE_BOOST, from the same avoid list and
# the same "soft mandatory" mechanism.  If a later poppler stops on one of
# these with a different spelling, its message will name the real one.

# ENABLE_GLIB=ON: the whole reason poppler is here is zathura's
# poppler-glib backend --

# should be asked for, not inferred (the gst-plugins-ugly gpl rule again).

# of them, and on this machine that file is right there --
