The PortaLinux C API: Base Runtime

For release 1.06


The PortaLinux Runtime is the runtime for PortaLinux applications written in the C programming language and it is a foundational part of the PortaLinux C API. This documentation page will detail all of the functions and types within it.

Main Ports Repo


The official PortaLinux Project Ports Repo is the main repo that will be used within Ports. It is currently self-hosted by me, Cinnamon, the founder of the project.

The repo is subdivided into two subrepos: the core subrepo and the extras subrepo

The core subrepo only stores packages used within the stock PortaLinux root filesystem, while the extras store programs and libraries that are very useful for app development and deployment, such as wlroots, mesa, gtk, qt, sdl, etc.
