Hi
I tried to compile MoleSVN with haiku.
I put the source in src/add-ons/tracker directory
Then I created Jamfile and .rdef file for MoleSVN
Then I edited src/add-ons/tracker/Jamfile to point the newly added addon.
Then I compiled the source. It got compiled.
But when I ran the system, there isn't any entry of MoleSVN in addons.
So, I think I'm missing something.
Is there any guide for creating addons for tracker in Haiku?
It would probably be simpler to compile MoleSVN outside of the Haiku
sources. You can do that easily using the makefile_engine. The idea of
add-ons is precisely that you can extend an already compiled application
(in this case, Tracker) with extra functionality without recompiling
everything.
So you do not need to integrate MoleSVN into Haiku sources. You can
compile it with a separate build system. Using the makefile_engine is a
good choice because it already provides support for compiling something
as an add-on.
