Requirements file

carbin will install all packages listed in the top-level carbin_deps.txt file in the package. Each requirement is listed on a new line.

<package-source>

This specifies the package source (see Package source) that will be installed.

-H, --hash

This specifies a hash checksum that should checked before installing the packaging. The type of hash needs to be specified with a colon first, and then the hash. So for md5, it would be something like md5:6fc67d80e915e63aacb39bc7f7da0f6c.

-b, --build

This is a dependency that is only needed for building the package. It is not installed as a dependent of the package, as such, it can be removed after the package has been installed.

-t, --test

carbin will only install the dependency if the tests are going to be run. This dependency is also treated as a build dependency so the it can be removed after the package has been installed.

-D, --define VAR=VALUE

Extra configuration variables to pass to CMake.

-X, --cmake

This specifies an alternative cmake file to be used to build the library. This is useful for packages that don’t have a cmake file.

-f, --file

This will read the requirements from another requirements file.

--ignore-requirements

This will ignore the requirement.txt file in the project. This is useful when a package has a carbin_deps.txt file that is actually for python packages, not carbin.
