Introduction to Makefile Basics: From Compilation Novice to Automation Build Expert

Introduction to Makefile Basics: From Compilation Novice to Automation Build Expert

Introduction: Why Do We Need Makefile? In Windows IDEs, we can simply click the “Build” button to complete the compilation, but behind large projects often lies complex build logic. Makefile is the core tool for achieving automated builds in Linux/Unix environments, acting like a precise conductor that coordinates: Optimization of compilation order Incremental compilation (only … Read more

PaddleOCR’s Pytorch Inference Module

PaddleOCR's Pytorch Inference Module

Overview In this project, we encountered a need for Optical Character Recognition (OCR). However, the best-performing <span>PaddleOCR</span> can only run on Baidu’s <span>PaddlePaddle</span> framework. In common projects, the more widely used Pytorch framework is often preferred. Installing PaddlePaddle separately not only makes the project overly bulky but may also lead to conflicts. In the previous … Read more

Detailed Analysis of Buildroot and Yocto Package Dependency Build Mechanisms: Who is Smarter? Who is More Efficient?

Detailed Analysis of Buildroot and Yocto Package Dependency Build Mechanisms: Who is Smarter? Who is More Efficient?

In the process of building embedded Linux systems, the “capability to handle package dependencies” is one of the core indicators of the maturity of a build system. Today, we will focus on a detailed topic — how Buildroot and Yocto handle package dependencies? What are their respective advantages and disadvantages? This not only concerns build … Read more

Dependency management is a critical aspect of Python project development, and a good dependency management tool can effectively resolve issues such as version conflicts, environment isolation, and project packaging and deployment. Whether … Read more

CMake Insights: A Case Study with FAST-LIO

CMake Insights: A Case Study with FAST-LIO

Review: Why do we use Make and CMake tools? The main reasons are to automate the build process, manage dependencies, and simplify cross-platform development for complex project compilation requirements: Large C++ projects often consist of multiple source files, header files, and library dependencies, making manual compilation commands (like <span>g++</span>) error-prone and inefficient. Dependency Management: Build … Read more

The C++ Ecosystem Dilemma: A Decade of Struggles in Building and Dependency Management

The C++ Ecosystem Dilemma: A Decade of Struggles in Building and Dependency Management

1Building Systems:The Migration Costs of the Warring States Period Fragmentation of Multiple Tools CMake/Bazel/Meson are in a three-way standoff: Syntax differences require relearning configuration logic for cross-project collaboration (e.g., CMake’s <span>target_link_libraries</span> conflicts with Bazel’s <span>deps</span> rule). Historical baggage hampers modernization: Legacy projects depend on Autotools-generated <span>configure</span> scripts, which have poor compatibility with modern IDEs (like … Read more
