New page

'''Artistic Style''' (command: <code>astyle</code>) is a source formatter for C-like programming languages.

==Installation==

Because new and desirable features are added way before your distro picks them up in the standard package, this is a program you'll want to compile and install manually.

The program unfortunately has a static Makefile and doesn't use a <code>configure</code> script, so using [[stow]] is a bit more difficult than normal.

We use almost the normal [[mkfake]] process here, with these subtleties:

* The Makefile will have to be patched so that <code>DESTDIR</code> is supported.
* The prefix /usr/local will be passed directly to make as a variable.

Start by unpacking and going to the build dir for gcc.

<nowiki>
# In /tmp (substitute another dir as appropriate)
$ tar xvf ~/src/astyle_3.0.1_linux.tar.gz
$ cd astyle/build/gcc</nowiki>

In the Makefile, any destination directories ''under '''only''' the <code>install</code> and <code>uninstall</code> targets'' need to be prefixed with <code>$(DESTDIR)</code> and quoted as necessary. Currently, this is done with the following changes:

* Replace any <code>$(ipath)</code> with <code>"$(DESTDIR)$(ipath)"</code>.
* Replace any <code>$(SYSCONF_PATH)</code> with <code>"$(DESTDIR)$(SYSCONF_PATH)"</code>.

Use [[mkfake]] to set up a fake destination directory. mkfake arranges for the install prefix under the fake dir to link to a directory with the name of the package (in this case <code>astyle-3.0.1</code>); this directory will be [[stow]]ed later.

<nowiki>
$ eval "`PACKAGE=astyle-3.0.1 mkfake`"
# Agree to prompts - refer to </nowiki>[[mkfake]]<nowiki> for more information</nowiki>

Use make to build and install the program. Note that <code>make install</code> won't work on its own; one of the astyle build targets (such as <code>release</code>) must be built first.

This invocation of make is also where <code>prefix</code> and <code>DESTDIR</code> must be set. mkfake has added the correct values in the environment as <code>REAL</code> and <code>FAKE</code>, respectively.

<nowiki>
# Build the release version and install it to the fake dir
$ make prefix="$REAL" DESTDIR="$FAKE" release install</nowiki>

Once that's done, [[stow]] the result as with any mkfake'd build.

<nowiki>
# Install the build to the stow dir and stow it
cd /usr/local/stow
sudo mv "$FAKE/$PACKAGE" ./
sudo stow "$PACKAGE"</nowiki>
