EXTRACT_TAR

This function is used to extract a tarball downloaded through wget or GITHUB_ARCHIVE. The table below documents the 3 arguments that this function requires

Arguments

Index	Status	Description
1	Required	Name of the downloaded tarball
2	Required	Name of the folder extracted from downloaded tarball
3	Required	Folder name where tarball files should be copied to

The function does not take direct paths; the first argument looks for tarballs in build_source, extracts the contents in that same directory, and then copies them over to build_work.

Example

APPUNINST_VERSION := 1.0.0

$(call GITHUB_ARCHIVE,quiprr,appuninst,$(APPUNINST_VERSION),v$(APPUNINST_VERSION))
$(call EXTRACT_TAR,appuninst-$(APPUNINST_VERSION).tar.gz,appuninst-$(APPUNINST_VERSION),appuninst)

The example above extracts the tarball downloaded from GitHub into build_source/appuninst-$(APPUNINST_VERSION) — then, those files are copied to build_work/appuninst.
