# This is a non-functional example formula to showcase all features and | |
# therefore, it's overly complex and dupes stuff just to comment on it. | |
# You may want to use `brew create` to start your own new formula! | |
# Documentation: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/share/doc/homebrew/Formula-Cookbook.md | |
## Naming -- Every Homebrew formula is a class of the type `Formula`. | |
# Ruby classes have to start Upper case and dashes are not allowed. | |
# So we transform: `example-formula.rb` into `ExampleFormula`. Further, | |
# Homebrew does enforce that the name of the file and the class correspond. | |
# Check with `brew search` that the name is free. | |

## Bottles | |
# Bottles are pre-built and added by the Homebrew maintainers for you. | |
# If you maintain your own repository, you can add your own bottle links. | |
# https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/share/doc/homebrew/Bottles.md | |
# You can ignore this block entirely if submitting to Homebrew/Homebrew, It'll be | |
# handled for you by the Brew Test Bot. | |

# bottle is fine. | |

## keg_only | |
# Software that will not be sym-linked into the `brew --prefix` will only | |
# live in it's Cellar. Other formulae can depend on it and then brew will | |
# add the necessary includes and libs (etc.) during the brewing of that | |
# other formula. But generally, keg_only formulae are not in your PATH | |
# and not seen by compilers if you build your own software outside of | |
# Homebrew. This way, we don't shadow software provided by OS X. | |
keg_only :provided_by_osx | |
keg_only "because I want it so" | |
## Dependencies | |
# The dependencies for this formula. Use strings for the names of other | |
# formulae. Homebrew provides some :special dependencies for stuff that | |
# requires certain extra handling (often changing some ENV vars or | |
# deciding if to use the system provided version or not.) | |
# `:build` means this dep is only needed during build. | |
depends_on "cmake" => :build | |
# Explictly name formulae in other taps. Non-optional tap dependencies won't | |
# be accepted in core. | |
depends_on "homebrew/dupes/tcl-tk" => :optional | |
# `:recommended` dependencies are built by default. But a `--without-...` | |
# option is generated to opt-out. | |
depends_on "readline" => :recommended | |
# `:optional` dependencies are NOT built by default but a `--with-...` | |
# options is generated. | |
depends_on "glib" => :optional | |
# If you need to specify that another formula has to be built with/out | |
# certain options (note, no `--` needed before the option): | |
depends_on "zeromq" => "with-pgm" | |
depends_on "qt" => ["with-qtdbus", "developer"] # Multiple options. | |
# Optional and enforce that boost is built with `--with-c++11`. | |
depends_on "boost" => [:optional, "with-c++11"] | |
# If a dependency is only needed in certain cases: | |
depends_on "sqlite" if MacOS.version == :leopard | |
depends_on :xcode # If the formula really needs full Xcode. | |
depends_on :tex # Homebrew does not provide a Tex Distribution. | |
depends_on :fortran # Checks that `gfortran` is available or `FC` is set. | |
depends_on :mpi => :cc # Needs MPI with `cc` | |
depends_on :mpi => [:cc, :cxx, :optional] # Is optional. MPI with `cc` and `cxx`. | |
depends_on :macos => :lion # Needs at least Mac OS X "Lion" aka. 10.7. | |
depends_on :apr # If a formula requires the CLT-provided apr library to exist. | |
depends_on :arch => :intel # If this formula only builds on intel architecture. | |
depends_on :arch => :x86_64 # If this formula only build on intel x86 64bit. | |
depends_on :arch => :ppc # Only builds on PowerPC? | |
depends_on :ld64 # Sometimes ld fails on `MacOS.version < :leopard`. Then use this. | |
depends_on :x11 # X11/XQuartz components. Non-optional X11 deps should go in Homebrew/Homebrew-x11 | |
depends_on :osxfuse # Permits the use of the upstream signed binary or our source package. | |
depends_on :tuntap # Does the same thing as above. This is vital for Yosemite and above. | |
depends_on :mysql => :recommended | |
# It is possible to only depend on something if | |
# `build.with?` or `build.without? "another_formula"`: | |
depends_on :mysql # allows brewed or external mysql to be used | |
depends_on :postgresql if build.without? "sqlite" | |
depends_on :hg # Mercurial (external or brewed) is needed | |
# If any Python >= 2.7 < 3.x is okay (either from OS X or brewed): | |
depends_on :python | |
# to depend on Python >= 2.7 but use system Python where possible | |
depends_on :python if MacOS.version <= :snow_leopard | |
# Python 3.x if the `--with-python3` is given to `brew install example` | |
depends_on :python3 => :optional | |
# Modules/Packages from other languages, such as :chicken, :jruby, :lua, | |
# :node, :ocaml, :perl, :python, :rbx, :ruby, can be specified by | |
depends_on "some_module" => :lua | |
## Conflicts | |
# If this formula conflicts with another one: | |
conflicts_with "imagemagick", :because => "because this is just a stupid example" | |
## Failing with a certain compiler? | |
# If it is failing for certain compiler: | |
fails_with :llvm do # :llvm is really llvm-gcc | |
build 2334 | |
cause "Segmentation fault during linking." | |
end | |
fails_with :clang do | |
build 600 | |
cause "multiple configure and compile errors" | |
end | |
## Resources | |
# Additional downloads can be defined as resources and accessed in the | |
# install method. Resources can also be defined inside a stable, devel, or | |
# head block. This mechanism replaces ad-hoc "subformula" classes. | |
resource "additional_files" do | |

## Patches | |
# External patches can be declared using resource-style blocks. | |
patch do | |
url "https://example.com/example_patch.diff" | |
sha1 "deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef" | |
end | |
# A strip level of -p1 is assumed. It can be overridden using a symbol | |
# argument: | |
patch :p0 do | |
url "https://example.com/example_patch.diff" | |

# Patches can be declared in stable, devel, and head blocks. This form is | |
# preferred over using conditionals. | |

end | |
end | |
# Embedded (__END__) patches are declared like so: | |
patch :DATA | |
patch :p0, :DATA | |
# Patches can also be embedded by passing a string. This makes it possible | |
# to provide multiple embedded patches while making only some of them | |
# conditional. | |
patch :p0, "..." | |
## The install method. | |
def install | |
# Now the sources (from `url`) are downloaded, hash-checked and | |
# Homebrew has changed into a temporary directory where the | |
# archive has been unpacked or the repository has been cloned. | |
# Print a warning (do this rarely) | |
opoo "Dtrace features are experimental!" if build.with? "dtrace" | |
# Sometimes we have to change a bit before we install. Mostly we | |
# prefer a patch but if you need the `prefix` of this formula in the | |
# patch you have to resort to `inreplace`, because in the patch | |
# you don't have access to any var defined by the formula. Only | |
# HOMEBREW_PREFIX is available in the embedded patch. | |
# inreplace supports regular expressions. | |
inreplace "somefile.cfg", /look[for]what?/, "replace by #{bin}/tool" | |
# To call out to the system, we use the `system` method and we prefer | |
# you give the args separately as in the line below, otherwise a subshell | |
# has to be opened first. | |
system "./bootstrap.sh", "--arg1", "--prefix=#{prefix}" | |
# For Cmake, we have some necessary defaults in `std_cmake_args`: | |
system "cmake", ".", *std_cmake_args | |
# If the arguments given to configure (or make or cmake) are depending | |
# on options defined above, we usually make a list first and then | |
# use the `args << if <condition>` to append to: | |
args = ["--option1", "--option2"] | |
args << "--i-want-spam" if build.with? "spam" | |
args << "--qt-gui" if build.with? "qt" # "--with-qt" ==> build.with? "qt" | |
args << "--some-new-stuff" if build.head? # if head is used instead of url. | |
args << "--universal-binary" if build.universal? | |
# If there are multiple conditional arguments use a block instead of lines. | |
if build.head? | |
args << "--i-want-pizza" | |
args << "--and-a-cold-beer" if build.with? "cold-beer" | |

# The `build.with?` and `build.without?` are smart enough to do the | |
# right thing with respect to defaults defined via `:optional` and | |
# `:recommended` dependencies. | |
# If you need to give the path to lib/include of another brewed formula | |
# please use the `opt_prefix` instead of the `prefix` of that other | |
# formula. The reasoning behind this is that `prefix` has the exact | |
# version number and if you update that other formula, things might | |
# break if they remember that exact path. In contrast to that, the | |
# `$(brew --prefix)/opt/formula` is the same path for all future | |
# versions of the formula! | |
args << "--with-readline=#{Formula["readline"].opt_prefix}" if build.with? "readline" | |

## Caveats | |
def caveats | |
"Are optional. Something the user should know?" | |
end | |
def caveats | |
s = <<-EOS.undent | |
Print some important notice to the user when `brew info <formula>` is | |
called or when brewing a formula. | |
This is optional. You can use all the vars like #{version} here. | |
EOS | |
s += "Some issue only on older systems" if MacOS.version < :mountain_lion | |
s | |
end | |
## Test (is optional but makes us happy) | |
test do | |
# `test do` will create, run in, and delete a temporary directory. | |
# We are fine if the executable does not error out, so we know linking | |
# and building the software was ok. | |
system bin/"foobar", "--version" | |
(testpath/"Test.file").write <<-EOS.undent | |
writing some test file, if you need to | |
EOS | |
# To capture the output of a command, we use backtics: | |
assert_equal "OK", ` test.file`.strip | |
# Need complete control over stdin, stdout? | |
require "open3" | |
Open3.popen3("#{bin}/example", "argument") do |stdin, stdout, _| | |
stdin.write("some text") | |
stdin.close | |
assert_equal "result", stdout.read | |
end | |
# The test will fail if it returns false, or if an exception is raised. | |
# Failed assertions and failed `system` commands will raise exceptions. | |
end | |
## Plist handling | |
# Does your plist need to be loaded at startup? | |
plist_options :startup => true | |
# Or only when necessary or desired by the user? | |
plist_options :manual => "foo" | |
# Or perhaps you'd like to give the user a choice? Ooh fancy. | |
plist_options :startup => "true", :manual => "foo start" | |
# Define this method to provide a plist. | |
# Looking for another example? Check out Apple's handy manpage => | |
