NAME
flatpak-build-init - Initialize a build directory
SYNOPSIS
flatpak build-init [OPTION...] DIRECTORY APPNAME SDK RUNTIME [BRANCH]
DESCRIPTION
Initializes a separate build directory. DIRECTORY is the name of the
directory. APPNAME is the application id of the app that will be
built. SDK and RUNTIME specify the sdk and runtime that the
application should be built against and run in. BRANCH specify the
version of sdk and runtime
Initializes a directory as build directory which can be used as target
directory of flatpak build. It creates a metadata inside the given
directory. Additionally, empty files and var subdirectories are
created.
It is an error to run build-init on a directory that has already been
initialized as a build directory.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-h, --help
Show help options and exit.
--arch=ARCH
The architecture to use. See flatpak --supported-arches for
architectures supported by the host.
-v, --var=RUNTIME
Initialize var from the named runtime.
-w, --writable-sdk
Initialize /usr with a copy of the sdk, which is writable during
flatpak build. This can be used if you need to install build tools
in /usr during the build. This is stored in the usr subdirectory of
the app dir, but will not be part of the final app.
--tag=TAG
Add a tag to the metadata file. This option can be used multiple
times.
--sdk-extension=EXTENSION
When using --writable-sdk, in addition to the sdk, also install the
specified extension. This option can be used multiple times.
--extension=NAME=VARIABLE[=VALUE]
Add extension point info.
--sdk-dir
Specify a custom subdirectory to use instead of usr for
--writable-sdk.
--update
Re-initialize the sdk and var, don't fail if already initialized.
--base=APP
Initialize the application with files from another specified
application.
--base-version=VERSION
Specify the version to use for --base. If not specified, will
default to "master".
--base-extension=EXTENSION
When using --base, also install the specified extension from the
app. This option can be used multiple times.
--type=TYPE
This can be used to build different types of things. The default is
"app" which is a regular app, but "runtime" creates a runtime based
on an existing runtime, and "extension" creates an extension for an
app or runtime.
--extension-tag=EXTENSION_TAG
If building an extension, the tag to use when searching for the
mount point of the extension.
--verbose
Print debug information during command processing.
--ostree-verbose
