Makefile Documentation

This Makefile automates building and installing StartOS packages (.s9pk files) with support for multiple architectures.

Basic Usage

Default Build (Universal)

make

Builds a universal package supporting all platforms. Same as running make package.

Platform-Specific Builds

make arm    # Build for ARM architecture only
make x86    # Build for x86 architecture only

Installation

make install    # Build and install to your configured StartOS device

Available Targets

Target	Description
make or make all	Build universal package for all platforms
make arm	Build ARM-only package
make x86	Build x86-only package
make install	Build and install package to StartOS device
make clean	Remove all build artifacts

Tandem Operations

You can chain multiple targets together:

make clean arm          # Clean then build ARM package
make clean x86 install  # Clean, build x86 package, then install
make clean install      # Clean, build universal, then install

Example Output

Building ARM package:

$ make arm
   Re-evaluating ingredients...
ℹ️ No code changes detected for arm platform build.
📦 Filesize: 7.1M	hello-world.s9pk
✅ Done! (arm only)

Installing universal package:

$ make install
   Re-evaluating ingredients...
   Packing 'hello-world.s9pk' for universal...
📦 Filesize: 13M	hello-world.s9pk

Prerequisites

• start-cli: StartOS development toolkit
• npm: Node.js package manager
• ~/.startos/config.yaml: Must contain your StartOS device host configuration

The Makefile will check for these dependencies and guide you through setup if anything is missing.

@dr-bonez Check out my latest Makefile changes:

• Update LAST_BUILD_STAMP to use .lba outside the startos folder
• Switch from git ls-files to find for startos sources (allows building without commits)
• Remove duplicate ingredients target invocation (tested and works as expected)
• Add .dockerignore to exclude .git and .gitmodules
