PORT-RESOLVE-LIB-HELPER(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual NAME port-resolve-lib-helper - resolve library specs during ports build SYNOPSIS port-resolve-lib-helper [-needed] [-silent] spec ... DESCRIPTION port-resolve-lib-helper resolve library specs against a list of installed libraries. port-resolve-lib-helper 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)). Each spec not found will result in an error message and exit code. If the option -silent is used, nothing will be displayed. The option -needed 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. This is a helper script used by bsd.port.mk(5) to complete all wantlib information for pkg_create(1) and other tools. FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p8 July 9, 2018 FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p8
