The Recipe file

The Recipe file contains a series of directives using shell assignment and shell function syntax. Supported directives presented below, divided into categories:

• Getting the source - tells Compile how to fetch the software
• Recipe types - tells Compile which tactic to use to compile the software
• Other directives - further customize the compilation process.
• Hooks
• Dynamic Variables
• Patches
• Resources/

A minimal recipe will have at least two directives, one specifying how to get the source (such as url) and recipe_type to tell what is the method to use when building it.
