1.7 +Here is how populate works:
1.8 +
1.9 + 1) performs some sanity checks:
1.10 + - src_dir and dst_dir are specified
1.11 + - src_dir exists
1.12 + - unless forced, dst_dir does not exist
1.13 + - src_dir != dst_dir
1.14 +
1.15 + 2) copy src_dir to dst_dir
1.16 +
1.17 + 3) add forced libraries to dst_dir
1.18 + - build the list from -l and -L options
1.19 + - get forced libraries from the sysroot (see below for heuristics)
1.20 + - abort on the first missing library, unless -f is specified
1.21 +
1.22 + 4) add all missing libraries to dst_dir
1.23 + - scan dst_dir for every ELF files that are 'executable' or
1.24 + 'shared object'
1.25 + - list the "NEEDED Shared library" fields
1.26 + - check if the library is already in dst_dir/lib or dst_dir/usr/lib
1.27 + - if not, get the library from the sysroot
1.28 + - if it's in sysroot/lib, copy it to dst_dir/lib
1.29 + - if it's in sysroot/usr/lib, copy it to dst_dir/usr/lib
1.30 + - in both cases, use the SONAME of the library to create the file
1.31 + in dst_dir
1.32 + - if it was not found in the sysroot, this is an error.
