I am trying to use BinDeps to download a package dependency. After reading the documentation I am still a little confused over the difference between Sources and Binaries.
Can someone explain how they are different? If I just want to download a .so file from a specified URL, and have it placed in usr/lib, which one should I use?
Thank you.
I believe Sources are for downloading the actual source code of a project which would then use a BuildProcess or SimpleBuild to compile. Binaries is for downloading pre-compiled shared libraries.
