Name

rebar.eclass -- Build Erlang/OTP projects using dev-util/rebar.

Description

An eclass providing functions to build Erlang/OTP projects using dev-util/rebar.

rebar is a tool which tries to resolve dependencies itself which is by cloning remote git repositories. Dependent projects are usually expected to be in sub-directory 'deps' rather than looking at system Erlang lib directory. Projects relying on rebar usually don't have 'install' make targets. The eclass workarounds some of these problems. It handles installation in a generic way for Erlang/OTP structured projects.

Existence of rebar.config is optional, but file description file must exist at 'src/${PN}.app.src'.

rebar_src_configure

Configure with ERL_LIBS set.

rebar_src_compile
