Bases: AutotoolsInstallation

Encapsulates a libunwind installation.

configure(flags, env=None)

Configure libunwind.

make(flags)

Build libunwind.

libunwind’s test programs often fail to build but the library itself compiles just fine, so we just keep pressing on to ‘make install’ even if ‘make’ appears to have died.

make_install(flags)

Invoke make install.

Parameters:

flags (list) – Command line flags to pass to make.

Raises:

SoftwarePackageError – Configuration failed.
