With a junction element in place, local elements can depend on elements in -the other BuildStream project using the additional ``junction`` attribute in the -dependency dictionary: +the other BuildStream project using :ref:`element paths <format_element_names>`. +For example, if you have a ``toolchain.bst`` junction element referring to +a project which contains a ``gcc.bst`` element, you can express a build +dependency to the compiler like this: .. code:: yaml - depends: - - junction: toolchain.bst - filename: gcc.bst - type: build + build-depends: + - junction: toolchain.bst:gcc.bst While junctions are elements, only a limited set of element operations is supported. They can be tracked and fetched like other elements. |
