mars-libowfat

This repository is a mars-nwe special-purpose fork of libowfat.

The original Makefile/GNUmakefile build is kept intact. The additional CMakeLists.txt is intended for mars-nwe consumers that need libowfat as a standalone CMake dependency, either under the traditional libowfat name or under the NetWare-oriented libnwowfat name.

CMake build

Out-of-tree builds are supported and recommended:

cmake -S . -B build -DMARS_LIBOWFAT_OUTPUT_NAME=nwowfat
cmake --build build

The output name can be selected with:

-DMARS_LIBOWFAT_OUTPUT_NAME=owfat
-DMARS_LIBOWFAT_OUTPUT_NAME=nwowfat

By default both static and shared libraries are built:

-DMARS_LIBOWFAT_BUILD_STATIC=ON
-DMARS_LIBOWFAT_BUILD_SHARED=ON

The version is read from the first line of CHANGES; currently that yields 0.35, so the shared library is produced as libowfat.so.0.35 or libnwowfat.so.0.35 with the usual soname symlinks.

glibc compatibility

The CMake build uses the system C compiler and standard glibc-style feature checks instead of the old dietlibc-oriented defaults. Generated compatibility headers such as haveip6.h, havesendfile.h, iopause.h, select.h, and entities.h are created in the build tree, so the source tree stays clean and out-of-tree builds work.
