+Each recipe consists of 3 main parts: defining identifiers, setting build
+variables, and defining build commands.
+
+The package "mylib" will be used here as an example
+
+General tips:
+- mylib_foo is written as $(package)_foo in order to make recipes more similar.
+
+## Identifiers
+Each package is required to define at least these variables:
+
+```
+$(package)_version:
+Version of the upstream library or program. If there is no version, a
+placeholder such as 1.0 can be used.
+
+$(package)_download_path:
+Location of the upstream source, without the file-name. Usually http or
+ftp.
+
+$(package)_file_name:
+The upstream source filename available at the download path.
+
+$(package)_sha256_hash:
+The sha256 hash of the upstream file
+```
+
+These variables are optional:
+
+```
+$(package)_build_subdir:
+cd to this dir before running configure/build/stage commands.
+
+$(package)_download_file:
+The file-name of the upstream source if it differs from how it should be
+stored locally. This can be used to avoid storing file-names with strange
+characters.
+
+$(package)_dependencies:
+Names of any other packages that this one depends on.
+
+$(package)_patches:
+Filenames of any patches needed to build the package
+
+$(package)_extra_sources:
+Any extra files that will be fetched via $(package)_fetch_cmds. These are
+specified so that they can be fetched and verified via 'make download'.
+```
+
+
+## Build Variables:
+After defining the main identifiers, build variables may be added or customized
+before running the build commands. They should be added to a function called
+$(package)_set_vars. For example:
+
+```
+define $(package)_set_vars
+...
+endef
+```
+
+Most variables can be prefixed with the host, architecture, or both, to make
+the modifications specific to that case. For example:
+
+```
+Universal:     $(package)_cc=gcc
+Linux only:    $(package)_linux_cc=gcc
+x86_64 only:       $(package)_x86_64_cc = gcc
+x86_64 linux only: $(package)_x86_64_linux_cc = gcc
+```
+
+These variables may be set to override or append their default values.
+
+```
+$(package)_cc
+$(package)_cxx
+$(package)_objc
+$(package)_objcxx
+$(package)_ar
+$(package)_ranlib
+$(package)_libtool
+$(package)_nm
+$(package)_cflags
+$(package)_cxxflags
+$(package)_ldflags
+$(package)_cppflags
+$(package)_config_env
+$(package)_build_env
+$(package)_stage_env
+$(package)_build_opts
+$(package)_config_opts
+```
+
+The `*_env` variables are used to add environment variables to the respective
+commands.
+
+Many variables respect a debug/release suffix as well, in order to use them for
+only the appropriate build config. For example:
+
+```
+$(package)_cflags_release = -O3
+$(package)_cflags_i686_debug = -g
+$(package)_config_opts_release = --disable-debug
+```
+
+These will be used in addition to the options that do not specify
+debug/release. All builds are considered to be release unless DEBUG=1 is set by
+the user. Other variables may be defined as needed.
+
+## Build commands:
+
+For each build, a unique build dir and staging dir are created. For example,
+`work/build/mylib/1.0-1adac830f6e` and `work/staging/mylib/1.0-1adac830f6e`.
+
+The following build commands are available for each recipe:
+
+```
+$(package)_fetch_cmds:
+Runs from: build dir
+Fetch the source file. If undefined, it will be fetched and verified
+against its hash.
+
+$(package)_extract_cmds:
+Runs from: build dir
+Verify the source file against its hash and extract it. If undefined, the
+source is assumed to be a tarball.
+
+$(package)_preprocess_cmds:
+Runs from: build dir/$(package)_build_subdir
+Preprocess the source as necessary. If undefined, does nothing.
+
+$(package)_config_cmds:
+Runs from: build dir/$(package)_build_subdir
+Configure the source. If undefined, does nothing.
+
+$(package)_build_cmds:
+Runs from: build dir/$(package)_build_subdir
+Build the source. If undefined, does nothing.
+
+$(package)_stage_cmds:
+Runs from: build dir/$(package)_build_subdir
+Stage the build results. If undefined, does nothing.
+```
+
+The following variables are available for each recipe:
+
+```    
+$(1)_staging_dir: package's destination sysroot path
+$(1)_staging_prefix_dir: prefix path inside of the package's staging dir
+$(1)_extract_dir: path to the package's extracted sources
+$(1)_build_dir: path where configure/build/stage commands will be run
+$(1)_patch_dir: path where the package's patches (if any) are found
+```
+
+Notes on build commands:
+
+For packages built with autotools, `$($(package)_autoconf)` can be used in the
+configure step to (usually) correctly configure automatically. Any
+`$($(package)_config_opts`) will be appended.
+
+Most autotools projects can be properly staged using:
+
+```bash
+$(MAKE) DESTDIR=$($(package)_staging_dir) install
+```
