.Sh NAME
.Nm bsd.port.mk
.Nd ports tree master Makefile fragment
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd .include <bsd.port.mk>
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
holds all the standard routines used by the ports tree.
Some variables and targets are for its internal use only.
The rest is documented here.
.Pp
Other BSD variants, as well as older versions of
.Nm bsd.port.mk ,
include other targets and variables.
Conversion methods are outlined here.
.Pp
This is not quite complete; a few variables and targets are not yet documented.
Mostly because undocumented stuff has fuzzy semantics, and it hasn't been
decided yet how to define it.
.Sh TARGETS
.Bl -tag -width do-configure
.It Ar {build,run,all}-dir-depends
Print all dependencies for a port in order to build it, run it,
or both.
The output is formatted as package specification pairs, in a form suitable
for
.Xr tsort 1 .
.It Ar full-{build,run,all}-depends
Print all dependencies a package depends upon for building, running,
or both, as a list of package names.
.It Ar {build,lib,run}-depends-list
Print a list of first level package specifications a port depends as
build dependencies, library dependencies, or run dependencies.
.It Ar print-{build,run}-depends
User convenience target that displays the result of
.Ar full-{build,run}-depends
in a more readable way.
.It Ar {pre,do,post}-*
Most standard targets can be specialized according to a given port's needs.
If defined,
the
.Ar pre-*
hook will be invoked before running the normal action;
the
.Ar do-*
hook will be invoked instead of the normal action;
the
.Ar post-*
hook will be invoked after the normal action.
Specialization hooks exist for
.Ar build ,
.Ar configure ,
.Ar distpatch ,
.Ar extract ,
.Ar fake ,
.Ar fetch ,
.Ar install ,
.Ar package ,
.Ar patch ,
.Ar regress .
See individual targets for exceptions.
.It Ar addsum
Complete the ${CHECKSUM_FILE} record of checksums with files that have been
added since
.Ar makesum .
Complain if anything does not match.
.It Ar build , Ar all
Default target.
Build the port.
Essentially invoke
.Bd -literal
env -i ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE_PROGRAM} ${MAKE_FLAGS} \e
	-f ${MAKE_FILE} ${ALL_TARGET}
.Ed
.It Ar build-depends
Verify the ports mentioned in
.Ev BUILD_DEPENDS ,
by checking the corresponding packages are actually installed,
and install the missing ports by recursing through the ports tree.
Invoked right after creating the working directory.
.It Ar checkpatch
Debugging version of the
.Ar patch
target that simulates invoking
.Xr patch 1 .
.It Ar checksum
Check distribution archives and distribution patches control sum against
the results recorded in ${CHECKSUM_FILE},
using the cryptographic signature utilities listed in ${PREFERRED_CIPHERS}.
All the files needed to recreate a port should be in ${ALLFILES} and
checksummed.
Invoking
.Ar checksum
with REFETCH=true
will try to fetch a version with the correct checksum from the
.Ox
main archive site in the case of a checksum mismatch.
.Ev NO_CHECKSUM
can be used to avoid all checksumming steps.
.It Ar clean
Clean ports contents.
By default, it will clean the work directory.
It can be invoked as
make clean='[depends bulk work fake flavors dist install sub package packages]'.
.Bl -tag -width packages
.It Va work
Clean work directory.
.It Va bulk
Clean bulk cookie.
.It Va depends
Recurse into dependencies.
.It Va flavors
Clean all work directories.
.It Va dist
Clean distribution files.
.It Va install
Uninstall package.
.It Va package
Remove package file (and copies in ${CDROM_PACKAGES} and ${FTP_PACKAGES}).
.It Va readmes
Clean files generated through the
.Ar readme
targets (html files).
.It Va sub
With
.Va install
or
.Va package ,
clean subpackages as well.
.It Va packages
Short-hand for `sub package'.
.El
.It Ar clean-depends
Short hand for make clean=depends.
.It Ar configure
Configure the port.
Might be a void operation.
Unless overridden, configure creates the ${WRKBUILD}
directory (see SEPARATE_BUILD), runs ${SCRIPTDIR}/configure if it exists,
and runs whatever configuration methods are recorded in
.Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE .
.It Ar depends
Check all the port's dependencies, that is:
.Ar build-depends ,
.Ar lib-depends ,
.Ar run-depends ,
.Ar regress-depends .
.It Ar describe
Prints a one-line index entry of the port, suitable for
.Pa ${PORTSDIR}/INDEX .
.It Ar distclean
Short-hand for make clean=dist.
.It Ar distpatch
Apply distribution patches only.
See
.Ar patch
and
.Ev PATCH_CASES
for details.
.It Ar extract
Extract the distribution files under
.Pa ${WRKDIR}
(but see
.Ev EXTRACT_ONLY ) .
Refer to
.Ev EXTRACT_CASES
for a complete description.
Do not use
.Ev pre-extract
and
.Ev do-extract
hooks.
.It Ar fake
Do a fake port installation, that is, simulate the port installation under
${WRKINST}.
There is no
.Ev do-fake
and
.Ev post-fake
hooks.
.Ar fake
actually uses
.Ev pre-fake ,
.Ev pre-install ,
.Ev do-install
and
.Ev post-install .
Described in a separate section below.
.It Ar fetch
Fetch the distribution files and patchfiles, using ${FETCH_CMD}.
Each file of the
.Ev DISTFILES
and
.Ev PATCHFILES
lists is retrieved, if necessary, from the list of sites in
.Ev MASTER_SITES .
If a filename ends with a
.Sq :0
to
.Sq :9
extension, it will be retrieved from
.Ev MASTER_SITES0
to
.Ev MASTER_SITES9
instead.
The ports framework uses
.Pa ${DISTDIR}/${DIST_SUBDIR}
(aliased to
.Pa ${FULLDISTDIR} )
to cache the ports distribution files and patch files.
Note that this framework is also used by mirroring scripts,
which will also retrieve
.Ev SUPDISTFILES ,
to fill with supplementary distribution files which are not needed for
every configuration.
See
.Ev ALLFILES ,
.Ev CDROM_SITE ,
.Ev DISTDIR ,
.Ev DISTFILES ,
.Ev DIST_SUBDIR ,
.Ev FETCH_CMD ,
.Ev FETCH_MANUALLY ,
.Ev FETCH_SYMLINK_DISTFILES ,
.Ev FULL_DISTDIR ,
.Ev MASTER_SITES ,
.Ev MASTER_SITES0 , ... ,
.Ev MASTER_SITES9 ,
.Ev PATCH_FILES ,
.Ev SUPDISTFILES ,
.Ev REFETCH .
.It Ar install
Install the package after building.
See the description of THE FAKE FRAMEWORK
for the non-intuitive details of the way
.Ar {pre,do,post}-install
hooks are actually used by the ports tree.
.It Ar lib-depends
Verify that the library dependencies a port needs are actually there,
by checking the library specifications.
.It Ar lib-depends-check
Verify that the
.Ev LIB_DEPENDS
hold all shared libraries used for the port.
See
.Xr library-specs 7 .
.It Ar license-check
Check that
.Ev PERMIT_PACKAGE_*
settings match:
if any dependency has a more restrictive setting, warn about it.
This warning is advisory, because the automated license checking cannot
figure out which ports were used only for building and did not taint
the current port.
.It Ar link-categories
Create symbolic links in other directories that correspond to the port's
.Ev CATEGORIES .
Note that this does not affect bulk package building, since those links
don't appear in the upper-level Makefiles.
See also
.Ar unlink-categories .
.It Ar makesum
Create the ${CHECKSUM_FILE} list of recorded checksums by running the
cryptographic fingerprints sha1, md5 and rmd160 on ${ALLFILES}.
.Ev NO_CHECKSUM
can be used to avoid all checksumming steps.
.It Ar manpages-check
Verify that
.Xr makewhatis 8
can do a correct job with the port's manpages.
.It Ar package
Build a port package (or packages in
.Ev MULTI_PACKAGES
cases) from the fake installation.
Involves creating packaging information from templates
(see
.Ev COMMENT ,
.Ev SED_PLIST ,
.Ev SUBST_VARS
among others) and invoking
.Xr pkg_create 1
for each package in the
.Ev MULTI_PACKAGES
list.
If ${PERMIT_PACKAGE_FTP} is set to
.Sq Yes ,
copies built packages into ${FTP_PACKAGES}, using
hard links if possible.
If ${PERMIT_PACKAGE_CDROM} is set to
.Sq Yes ,
copies built packages into ${CDROM_PACKAGES}, using
hard links if possible.
.It Ar patch
Apply distribution and
.Ox
specific patches.
Because of historical accident,
.Ar patch
does not follow the exact same scheme other standard targets do.
Namely,
.Ar patch
invokes
.Ar pre-patch
(if defined),
.Ar do-patch ,
and
.Ar post-patch ,
but the default
.Ar do-patch
target invokes
.Ar distpatch
directly.
So, if the
.Ar do-patch
target is overridden, it should still begin by calling
make distpatch, before applying
.Ox
specific patches.
Accordingly, the exact sequence of hooks is:
.Ar pre-patch ,
.Ar do-distpatch ,
.Ar post-distpatch ,
.Ar do-patch ,
.Ar post-patch .
If
.Pa ${PATCHDIR}
exists, the files described under
.Ev PATCH_LIST
will be applied under
.Ev WRKDIST .
See also
.Ev REORDER_DEPENDENCIES
for possible
.Ar post-patch
clean-up.
.It Ar readmes
Create an html description of packages, including comments, description,
and dependencies.
.It Ar rebuild
Force rebuild of the port.
.It Ar regress
Run regression tests for the port.
Essentially depend on a correct build and invoke
.Bd -literal
env -i ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE_PROGRAM} ${REGRESS_FLAGS} \e
	-f ${MAKE_FILE} ${REGRESS_TARGET}
.Ed
.Pp
If a port needs some other ports installed to run regression tests,
use
.Ev REGRESS_DEPENDS .
If a port needs special configuration or build options to enable regression
testing, define a
.Sq regress
.Ev FLAVOR .
.It Ar regress-depends
Verify packages needed for regression tests, using the same scheme as
.Ar build-depends .
Only invoked when regression tests are run, or explicitly through
.Ar depends .
.It Ar reinstall
Force reinstallation of a port, by first cleaning the old installation.
.It Ar repackage
For rebuilding of the packages of a port, by first removing the old packages.
.It Ar run-depends
Verify the ports mentioned in
.Ev RUN_DEPENDS ,
by checking the corresponding packages are actually installed,
and install the missing ports by recursing through the ports tree.
Invoked right before installing the package.
.It Ar show
Invoked as make show=name, show the contents of ${name}.
Invoked as make show="name1 name2 ...",
show the contents of ${name1} ${name2} ...,
one variable value per line.
Mostly used from recursive makes, or to know the contents of another
port's variables without guessing wrongly.
.It Ar unlink-categories
Remove symbolic links in other directories that correspond to the port's
.Ev CATEGORIES .
See also
.Ar link-categories .
.It Ar update-patches
Create or update patches for a port, using
.Xr diff 1
between
.Pa file
and
.Pa file.orig ,
based on
.Pa file.orig
existence.
In order to generate a patch, the original file needs to be named
.Pa file.orig
and
.Pa file
edited.
After the target is invoked, the patches are placed under the
patches/ directory.
It moves existing patches from
.Pa patch-file
to
.Pa patch-file.orig
.It Ar update-plist
Update the packing lists for a port, using the fake installation and the
existing packing lists.
.Ar update-plist
should produce mostly correct
.Pa PLIST ,
.Pa PFRAG.shared
and
.Pa PFRAG.no-shared
files, handling shared libraries, GNU
.Xr info 1
files, setuid files, and empty directories.
It moves existing files to
.Pa PLIST.orig ,
.Pa PFRAG.shared.orig
and
.Pa PFRAG.no-shared.orig .
If the generated lists include files and directories that shouldn't be
included, comment these like this:
.Bd -literal
@comment unwanted-file
@comment @dirrm unwanted-dir
.Ed
.Pp
Subsequent calls to
.Ar update-plist
will automatically recognize and handle such lines correctly.
.Pp
.Ar update-plist
does not handle flavor situations yet, so beware.
.El
.Sh VARIABLES
Note that some variables are marked as
.Sq User-settings ,
which means that individual ports should not modify them,
and that some variables are marked as
.Sq read-only ,
which means that they shouldn't ever be changed.
.Bl -tag -width MASTER_SITES
.It Ev show
Invoked as make show=name, show the contents of ${name}.
Invoked as make show="name1 name2 ...", show the contents of
${name1} ${name2} ...,
one variable value per line.
.It Ev ALLFILES
List of all files that need to be retrieved by
.Ar fetch ,
with master site selection extension removed.
Read-only.
.It Ev ALL_TARGET
Target used to build software.
Default is
.Sq all .
Can be set to empty, to yield a package's default target.

Current machine architecture (read-only).
.It Ev AUTOCONF
Location of the autoconf binary if needed.
Defaults to autoconf (though make autoreconf might be more appropriate).
.It Ev AUTOCONF_DIR
Where to invoke autoconf if ${CONFIGURE_STYLE} includes autoconf.
Defaults to ${WRKSRC}.
.\" AUTOCONF_DIR should probably be a list, and be renamed to AUTOCONF_DIRS ?
.It Ev AUTOCONF_VERSION
Starting with
.Ox 3.3 ,
several versions of autoconf may coexist peacefully.
Setting
.Ev AUTOCONF_VERSION
along with
.Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE
set to autoconf is the correct way to specify which one to use.
If autoconf must be run manually,
.Ev MODGNU_AUTOCONF_DEPENDS
can be used to specify what packages to depend upon.
.It Ev BATCH
User-settings.
Set to
.Sq Yes
to avoid ports that require user-interaction
Use in conjunction with
.Ev INTERACTIVE
to simplify bulk-package builds.
.Pq See IGNORE .
.It Ev BROKEN
Define only for broken ports, set to reason the port is broken.
See also
.Ev NO_IGNORE .
.It Ev BSD_INSTALL_{PROGRAM,SCRIPT,DATA,MAN}[_DIR]
Macros passed to make and configure invocations.
Set based on corresponding INSTALL_* variables.
.It Ev BIN_PACKAGES
User settings.
If set to
.Sq Yes ,
the
.Ar package
target will trust a package built in the repository to be up-to-date,
and will not rebuild it if the work directory is absent.
See also
.Ev BULK ,
.Ev TRUST_PACKAGES .
.It Ev BUILD_DEPENDS
List of other ports the current port needs to build correctly.
Each item has the form
.Sq [legacy]:[pkgspec]:directory[,-subpackage][,flavor ...][:target] .
.Sq target
defaults to
.Sq install
if it is not specified.
.Sq legacy
used to be a file to check.
The ports tree now uses
.Sq pkgspec
instead, as a package that must be installed prior to the build.
.Sq directory
is set relative to ${PORTSDIR}.
.Sq subpackage
is an optional subpackage name, to install instead of the default main
package name.
.Sq flavor ...
is a comma separated list of flavors.
By default, the dependency will build the default flavor.
Build dependencies are checked at the beginning of the extract stage.
.Pp
Build dependencies that are not the default
.Ar package
or
.Ar install
target will be processed in a subdirectory of the working directory,
specifically, in ${WRKDIR}/directory.
.It Ev BULK
User settings.
If set to
.Sq Yes ,
successful package builds and installations will clean
their working directories, after invoking
any targets mentioned in BULK_TARGETS.
Can be set on a per-${PKGPATH} basis.
For instance, setting BULK_misc/screen=No
will override any BULK=Yes passed on the command line.
See
.Ev BULK_COOKIES_DIR ,
.Ev BIN_PACKAGES ,
.Ev TRUST_PACKAGES .
.It Ev BULK_COOKIES_DIR
User settings.
Used to store cookies for successful bulk-package builds, defaults to

List of descriptive categories into which this port falls.
Mandatory.
See
.Ar link-categories ,
.Ar unlink-categories .
.It Ev CDIAGFLAGS
Flags appended to
.Ev CFLAGS
if
.Ev WARNINGS
is set.
.It Ev CDROM_PACKAGES
User settings.
Base location where packages suitable for a CDROM (see
PERMIT_PACKAGE_CDROM) will be placed
(default: ${PKGREPOSITORYBASE}/cdrom)
.It Ev CDROM_SITE
Path to a local database that holds distribution files (usually a CD-ROM
or other similar media), used to retrieve distribution files before going
to the network.
Defaults to
.Pa /cdrom/distfiles .
Set to empty to avoid checking any path.
Distribution files are still copied or linked (see
.Ev FETCH_SYMLINK_DISFILES )
into
.Ev DISTDIR
if they are found under CDROM_SITE.
.It Ev CFLAGS
Default flags passed to the compiler for building.
Many ports ignore it.
See also
.Ev COPTS ,
.Ev CDIAGFLAGS .
.It Ev CHECKSUM_FILE
Location for this port's checksums, used by
.Ar addsum ,
.Ar checksum ,
and
.Ar makesum .
Defaults to distinfo.

by setting CLEANDEPENDS_${PKGPATH}.
.It Ev COMMENT
Comment used for the package, and in the INDEX.
.It Ev COMMENT-foo
Comment used for sub package foo in a multi-package set up.
.It Ev COMMENT-vanilla
Comment used for a flavored package, if the non-flavored comment is
inappropriate.
.It Ev COMMENT-foo-vanilla
Comment used for a sub-, flavored package.
.It Ev COMES_WITH
The first release where the port was made part of the standard
distribution.
If the current
.Ox
version is >= this version then a notice
will be displayed instead of the port being built.
.It Ev CONFIGURE_ARGS
Arguments to pass to configure script.
Defaults are empty, except for
gnu-style configure, where prefix and sysconfdir are set.
.It Ev CONFIGURE_ENV
Basic environment passed to configure script (path and libtool setup).
gnu-style configure adds a lot more variables.
.It Ev CONFIGURE_SCRIPT
Set to name of script invoked by
.Ar configure
target, if appropriate.
Should be relative to ${WRKSRC}.
.It Ev CONFIGURE_SHARED
Set to --enable-shared or --disable-shared, depending on whether the
architecture supports shared libraries.
Should be appended to CONFIGURE_ARGS, for ports that build dynamic libraries
and whose configure script supports these options.
.It Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE
Set to style of configuration that needs to happen.
If
.Sq perl ,
assume
.Xr perl 1
.Xr ExtUtils::MakeMaker 3p
style.
Add
.Sq modbuild ,

.Sq old
if port is an older autoconf port that does not recognize --sysconfdir.
Add
.Sq autoconf
if autoconf needs to be rerun first.
Add
.Sq automake
if automake may need to be rerun.
Otherwise, automake will be explicitly disabled.
If
.Sq imake ,
assume port configures using X11 ports Imakefile framework.
Add
.Sq noman
if port has no man pages the Imakefile should try installing.
If
.Sq simple ,
there is a configure script, but it does not fit the normal gnu configure
conventions.
.It Ev MODGNU_CONFIG_GUESS_DIRS
If a port uses config.guess outside WRKSRC, the directories
containing the other copies must be set here.
.It Ev COPTS
User settings.
Supplementary options appended to ${CFLAGS} for building.
Since most ports ignore the COPTS convention, they are actually told to use
${CFLAGS} ${COPTS} as CFLAGS.
.It Ev CXXDIAGFLAGS
Flags appended to
.Ev CXXFLAGS
if
.Ev WARNINGS
is set.
.It Ev CXXFLAGS
Default flags passed to the C++ compiler for building.
Many ports ignore it.
.It Ev CXXOPTS
User settings.
Supplementary options appended to ${CXXFLAGS} for building.
.It Ev DEF_UMASK
Correct value of umask for the port to build and package correctly.
Tested against the actual umask at
.Ar fake
time.
Default is 022.
Don't override.
.It Ev DESTDIR
See
.Ev DESTDIRNAME .
.It Ev DESTDIRNAME
Name of variable to set to ${WRKINST} while faking.
Usually DESTDIR.
To be used in the rare cases where a port heeds DESTDIR in a few
directories and needs to be configured with
.Sq gnu dest ,
so that those few directories do not get in the way.
.It Ev DISTDIR
Directory where all ports distribution files and patchfiles are stashed.
Defaults to
.Pa ${PORTSDIR}/distfiles .
Override if distribution files are stored elsewhere.
Always use
.Ev FULLDISTDIR
to refer to ports' distribution files location, as it takes an eventual
.Ev DIST_SUBDIR
into account.
.It Ev DISTFILES
The main port's distribution files (the actual software source, except
for binary-only ports).
Will be retrieved from the MASTER_SITES (see
.Ar fetch ) ,
checksummed and extracted (see
.Ar checksum ,
.Ar extract ) .
.Ev DISTFILES
normally holds a list of files, possibly with
.Sq :0
to
.Sq :9
appended to select a different
.Ev MASTER_SITES .
See also
.Ev SUPDISTFILES .
.It Ev DISTNAME
Name used to identify the port.
See
.Ev DISTFILES
and
.Ev PKGNAME .
.It Ev DISTORIG
Suffix used by
.Ar distpatch
to rename original files.
Defaults to
.Pa .bak.orig .
Distinct from
.Pa .orig
to avoid confusing
.Ar update-patches .
.It Ev DIST_SUBDIR
Optional subdirectory of ${DISTDIR} where the current port's distribution
files and patchfiles will be located.
See target
.Ar fetch .
.It Ev ECHO_MSG
User settings.
Used to display
.Sq ===> Configuring for foo
and similar informative messages.
Override to turn off, for instance.
.It Ev ERRORS
List of errors found while parsing the port's Makefile.
Display the errors before making any target, and if any error starts with
.Qq Fatal: ,
do not make anything.
For instance:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
\&.if !defined(COMMENT)
ERRORS+="Fatal: Missing comment"
\&.endif
.Ed
.It Ev EXTRACT_CASES
In the normal extraction stage (when
.Ev EXTRACT_ONLY
is not empty), this is the contents of a case statement, used to extract files.
Fragments are automatically appended to extract tar and zip
archives, so that the default case is equivalent to the following shell
fragment:
.Bd -literal
set -e
cd ${WRKDIR}
for archive in ${EXTRACT_ONLY}
do
    case $$archive in
	*.zip)
	  unzip -q ${FULLDISTDIR}/$$archive -d ${WRKDIR};;
	*.tar.bz2)
	  bzip2 -dc ${FULLDISTDIR}/$$archive| tar xf -;;
	*.shar.gz|*.shar.Z|*.sh.Z|*.sh.gz)
	  gzcat ${FULLDISTDIR}/$$archive | /bin/sh;;
	*.shar|*.sh)
	  /bin/sh ${FULLDISTDIR}/$$archive;;
	*.tar)
	  tar xf ${FULLDISTDIR}/$$archive;;
	*)
	  gzip -dc ${FULLDISTDIR}/$$archive | tar xf -;;
    esac
done
.Ed
.It Ev EXTRACT_ONLY
Set if not all ${DISTFILES} should be extracted at do-extract stage.
Default value is ${DISTFILES}.
.It Ev EXTRACT_SUFX
Used to set DISTFILES default value to ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}.
Default value is .tar.gz.
.It Ev FAKE
Automatically set to
.Sq Yes
for most ports (and all new ports).
Indicates that the port, using
.Ev FAKE_FLAGS
magic, will properly fake installation into ${WRKINST}, to be packaged
and properly installed from the package.
Set to
.Sq No
in very rare cases, and during port creation.
.It Ev FAKE_FLAGS
Flags passed to ${MAKE_PROGRAM} on fake invocation.
By default, ${DESTDIRNAME}=${WRKINST}.
.It Ev FAKE_TARGET
Target build by ${MAKE_PROGRAM} on fake invocation.
Defaults to ${INSTALL_TARGET}.
.It Ev FAKEOBJDIR
If non empty, used as a base for the fake area.
The real fake directory ${WRKINST} is created there.
Can be set on a per-${PKGPATH} basis.
For instance, setting FAKEOBJDIR_www/mozilla=/tmp/obj
will affect only the mozilla port.
.It Ev FETCH_CMD
Command used to fetch distribution files for this port.
Defaults to
.Xr ftp 1 .
User settings.
Can be used to go through excessively paranoid firewalls.
.It Ev FETCH_MANUALLY
Some ports' distfiles cannot be fetched automatically for licensing reasons.
In this case, set
.Ev FETCH_MANUALLY
to a list of strings that will be displayed, one per line, e.g.,
.Bd -literal
FETCH_MANUALLY= "You must fetch foo-1.0.tgz"
FETCH_MANUALLY+="from http://www.fubar.com/ manually,"
FETCH_MANUALLY+="after reading and agreeing to the license."
.Ed
Automatically sets
.Ev IS_INTERACTIVE
if some distribution files are missing.
.It Ev FETCH_SYMLINK_DISTFILES
User settings.
Set to
.Sq Yes
to link distribution files off
.Ev CDROM_SITE
instead of copying them.
.It Ev FILESDIR
Location of other files related to the current ports.
(default: files.${ARCH} or files).
.It Ev FLAVOR
The port's current options.
Set by the user, and tested by the port to activate wanted functionalities.
.It Ev FLAVORS
List of all flavors keywords a port may match.
Used to sort FLAVOR into a canonical order to build the package name,
or to select the packing-list, and as a quick validity check.
See also
.Ev PSEUDO_FLAVORS .
.It Ev FLAVOR_EXT

Similar to BUILD_DEPENDS, except for
.Sq lib_specs ,
which is a comma-separated list of
.Sq lib_spec
of the form:
.Sq libname.[version.[subversion]] .
See
.Xr library-specs 7
for more details.
.Pp
On architectures that use dynamic libraries,
.Ev LIB_DEPENDS
is also used as a run-time dependency, and recorded in the package as
such.
.It Ev FULLDISTDIR
Complete path to directory where ${DISTFILES} and ${PATCHFILES} will be
located, to be used in hand-crafted extraction targets (read-only).

Used in conjunction with
.Ev BATCH
to simplify bulk-package builds.
.It Ev IS_INTERACTIVE
Set to
.Sq Yes
if port needs human interaction to build.
Usually implies NO_PACKAGE as well.
Porters should strive to minimize IS_INTERACTIVE ports, by using
FLAVORS for multiple choice ports, and by postponing human intervention
to package installation time.
.It Ev LIBTOOL
Location of the libtool binary for ports that set
.Ev USE_LIBTOOL
(default: ${LOCALBASE}/bin/libtool).
.It Ev LIBTOOL_FLAGS
Arguments to pass to libtool.

.Ev MTREE_FILE
can hold a list of file names, to which
.Pa ${PORTSDIR}/infrastructure/db/fake.mtree
is always appended.
These specifications are rooted at
.Pa ${WRKINST} ,
and are subject to
.Ev SUBST_VARS
substitution, to ease
.Pa ${PREFIX}
independence.
This feature is primarily intended for large, interconnected ports,
such as the kde suite, where a base package sets up a large, extra
directory hierarchy that would make the manual checking of packing lists
tedious.
.It Ev MOTIFLIB

.It Ev NO_BUILD
Port does not need any build stage.
.It Ev NO_CHECKSUM
Set to
.Sq Yes
to avoid
.Ar checksum ,
.Ar makesum ,
and
.Ar addsum
actions entirely.
User settings.
Beware of the full implications of this mechanism, namely that it disables
entirely the basic authentication mechanisms of the ports tree.
.It Ev NO_DEPENDS
User settings.
Don't verify build of dependencies.
Do not use in any ports Makefile.
This is only meant as a user convenience when, e.g., you just want to browse
through a given port's source and do not wish to trigger the build of
dependencies.
.It Ev NO_IGNORE
User settings.
If set to
.Sq Yes ,
avoid ignoring a port for the usual reasons.

Port does not build with systrace enabled build targets.
.It Ev ONLY_FOR_ARCHS
List of architectures on which this port builds.

Suffix used by
.Ar patch
to rename original files, and
.Ar update-patches
to re-generate
.Pa ${PATCHDIR}/${PATCH_LIST}
by looking for files using this suffix.
Defaults to
.Pa .orig .
For a port that already contains
.Pa .orig
files in the ${DISTFILES},
set this to something else, such as
.Pa .pat.orig .
See also
.Ar distpatch ,
.Ev DISTORIG .
.It Ev PATCH_CASES
In the normal distpatch stage (when
.Ev PATCHFILES
is not empty), this is the contents of a case statement, used to apply
distribution patches.
Fragments are automatically appended to handle gzip'ed and bzip'ed
patches, so that the default case is equivalent to the following shell
fragment:
.Bd -literal
set -e
cd ${FULLDISTDIR}
for patchfile in ${_PATCHFILES}
do
    case $$patchfile in
	*.bz2)
	  bzip2 -dc $$patchfile | ${PATCH} ${PATCH_DIST_ARGS};;
	*.Z|*.gz)
	  gzcat $$patchfile | ${PATCH} ${PATCH_DIST_ARGS};;
	*)
	  ${PATCH} ${PATCH_DIST_ARGS} <$$patchfile;;
    esac
done
.Ed
.It Ev PATCHDIR
Location for patches applied by patch target (default: patches.${ARCH} or
patches).
.It Ev PATCHFILES
Files to fetch from the master sites like

but serving a different purpose, as they hold distribution patches that
will be applied at the
.Ar patch
stage.
See also
.Ev SUPDISTFILES .
.It Ev PATCH_ARGS
Full list of options used while applying port's patches.
.It Ev PATCH_CHECK_ONLY
Set to Yes by the
.Ar checkpatch
target.
Don't touch unless the default
.Ar checkpatch
target needs to be redefined.
Ideally, user-defined patch subtargets ought to test checkpatch.
In practice, they don't.
.It Ev PATCH_DEBUG
If set to
.Sq Yes ,
the
.Ar patch
stage will output extra debug information.
.It Ev PATCH_DIST_ARGS
Full list of options used while applying distribution patches.
.It Ev PATCH_DIST_STRIP
Patch option used to strip directory levels while applying distribution
patches.
Defaults to -p0 .
.It Ev PATCH_LIST
Wildcard pattern of patches to select under ${PATCHDIR} (default: patch-*).
Note that filenames ending in .orig, or ~ are never applied.
Note that
.Ev PATCH_LIST
can hold absolute pathnames, for instance to share patches among similar
ports:
.Bd -literal
PATCH_LIST=${PORTSDIR}/x11/kde/libs2/patches/p-* patch-*
.Ed
.It Ev PATCH_STRIP
Patch option used to strip directory levels while applying port's patches.

.Pa ${PORTSDIR}:${PORTSDIR}/mystuff .
.It Ev PKGDIR
Location for packaging information (packing list, port description, port
short description).
Default: pkg.${ARCH} or pkg.
.It Ev PKGNAME
Name of the main created package.
Default is ${DISTNAME} for the main package,
and ${DISTNAME} for multi-package ports.
This does not take flavors into account.
See
.Ev FULLPKGNAME
for that.
.It Ev PKGNAME-foo
Package name for sub-package foo, if the default value
of ${PKGNAME}${SUBPACKAGE} is not appropriate.
.It Ev PKGPATH
Path to the current port's directory, relative to ${PORTSDIR}.
Read-only.

List of cryptographic ciphers to use, in order of preference.
Default is
.Sq sha1 rmd160 md5 .
The first cipher that matches in ${CHECKSUM_FILE} is verified.
.It Ev PREFIX

Usually ${LOCALBASE}, though some ports may elect a location under
.Pa /var ,
and some multi-package ports may install under several locations.
.It Ev PSEUDO_FLAVORS
Extra list of flavors that do not register in package names, but are still
used to control build logic, and e.g., working directory names.
Its main use is for disabling part of a multi-packages build, for instance:
.Bd -literal
FLAVOR=no_gnome make package
.Ed
.Pp
Creation of a separate working directory is mandatory.
If, at a later time, a full build with all subpackages is required,
all the work will need to be done again.
.It Ev REFETCH
User settings.
If set to true,
.Ar checksum
will analyze ${CHECKSUM_FILE}, and try retrieving files with the correct
checksum off
.Pa ftp.openbsd.org ,
in the directory

See
.Ev BUILD_DEPENDS
for specification.

.It Ev REGRESS_FLAGS
Flags to pass to ${MAKE_PROGRAM} to run the regression tests.
Defaults to ${MAKE_FLAGS}.
.It Ev REGRESS_IS_INTERACTIVE
Set to
.Sq Yes
if port needs human interaction to run its tests.
.It Ev REGRESS_TARGET
Target to run regression tests.
Defaults to
.Sq regress ,
except for
.Sq perl
and
.Sq gnu
.Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE ,
which default to
.Sq test
and
.Sq check
respectively.
.It Ev REORDER_DEPENDENCIES
Points to a list of files that specify inter-dependencies for
.Xr make 1 .
If defined, each line of the file is either a comment (starting with #)
or a pair of two files: most_recent older.
At the end of
.Ar post-patch ,
.Xr touch 1
will be used to ensure those files are put in the proper order.
The files are assumed to be under
.Pa ${WRKSRC} .
The notation /file can be used to ask for a recursive search, e.g.,
to make sure that all Makefile.in are up-to-date.
See
.Pa ${PORTSDIR}/infrastructure/mk/automake.dep
for an example.
.It Ev RUN_DEPENDS
Specification of ports this port needs installed to be functional.
Same format as BUILD_DEPENDS.
The corresponding packages will be built at
.Ar install
stage, and
.Xr pkg_add 1
will take care of installing them.
.It Ev SED_PLIST
Pipeline of commands used to create the actual packing list from the
PLIST template (usually ${PKGDIR}/PLIST).
.Nm
appends to it substitution commands corresponding to the port's
FLAVOR and variables from SUBST_VARS.
${SED_PLIST} is invoked as a pipeline after inserting PFRAG.shared fragments.
.It Ev SCRIPTDIR
Location for scripts related to the current port (default: scripts.${ARCH}
or scripts).
.It Ev SEPARATE_BUILD
Many gnu configure ports can be built in a directory distinct from the
place they were unpacked.
For some specific ports, this is even mandatory.
Set to
.Sq simple
if this is the case.
The ports infrastructure will generate a separate ${WRKBUILD} directory
in which the port will be configured and built.
Wipe ${WRKBUILD} to start anew, but skipping the extract/patch stage.
Set to
.Sq flavored
if distinct flavors of the port may share a common source tree.
.It Ev SUBPACKAGE
Set to the sub package suffix when building a package in a multi-package port.
Read-only.
Used to test for dependencies or to adjust the package name.
.It Ev SUBST_VARS
Make variables whole values get substituted to create the actual package
information.
Always holds
.Ev ARCH ,
.Ev FLAVOR_EXT ,
.Ev HOMEPAGE ,
.Ev MACHINE_ARCH ,
.Ev MAINTAINER ,
.Ev PREFIX ,
and
.Ev SYSCONFDIR .
The special construct
.Sq ${FLAVORS}
can be used in the packing-list to specify the current list of dash
separated flavors the port is compiled with (useful for cross-dependencies
in
.Ev MULTI_PACKAGES ) .
Add other
variables as needed.
.It Ev SUDO
User settings.
If set to
.Xr sudo 8
in
.Xr mk.conf 5 ,
the ports tree will only invoke root's privileges for the parts that
really require it.
.It Ev SUPDISTFILES
Supplementary files that need to be retrieved under some specific
circumstances.
For instance, a port might need architecture-specific files.
.Ev SUPDISTFILES
should hold a list of all distribution files and patchfiles that are not
always needed, so that a mirror will be able to grab all files, or that
.Ar makesum
will work.
Having an overlap between
.Ev SUPDISTFILES
and
.Ev DISTFILES ,
.Ev PATCHFILES
is admissible, and in fact, expected, as it is much simpler to build
an error-free list of files to retrieve in that way.
See the xanim port for an example.
.It Ev SYSCONFDIR
Location for ports system configuration files.
Defaults to
.Pa /etc ,
should never be set to
.Pa /usr/local/etc .
.It Ev SYSTRACE_FILTER
Location of the systrace filter file which is the basis for a port's
actual systrace policy file.
Defaults to
.Pa ${PORTSDIR}/infrastructure/db/systrace.filter .
.It Ev SYSTRACE_SUBST_VARS
List of variables used in ${SYSTRACE_FILTER} that will be substituted
by their real value when creating the systrace policy file.
Always holds
.Ev WRKOBJDIR ,
.Ev PORTSDIR ,
and
.Ev DISTDIR .
.It Ev TAR
Name of the tar binary.
.It Ev TEMPLATES
Base location for the templates used in the
.Ar readmes
target.
User settings.
.It Ev TRUST_PACKAGES

.Sq Yes ,
dependency mechanisms will assume the database of installed packages is
correct.
See also
.Ev BIN_PACKAGES ,
.Ev BULK .
.It Ev UNZIP
Name of the unzip binary.
.It Ev WARNINGS
User settings.
If set to
.Sq Yes ,
add
.Ev CDIAGFLAGS
to
.Ev CFLAGS
and
.Ev CXXDIAGFLAGS
to
.Ev CXXFLAGS .
.It Ev WRKBUILD
Subdirectory of ${WRKDIR} where the actual build occurs.
Defaults to ${WRKSRC}, unless SEPARATE_BUILD is involved, in which case
it is set to an appropriate value.
.It Ev WRKDIR
Location where all port activity occurs.
Apart from the actual port, may
hold all kinds of cookies that checkpoint the port's build.
Read-only.
Ports that need to know the WRKDIR of another port must use
cd that_port_dir && make show=WRKDIR for this.
Note that WRKDIR may be a symbolic link.
.It Ev WRKDIST
Subdirectory of ${WRKDIR} in which the distribution files normally unpacks.
Base for all patches (default: ${WRKDIR}/${DISTNAME}).
Note that WRKDIST may be a symbolic link, if set to ${WRKDIR}.
.It Ev WRKSRC
Subdirectory of ${WRKDIR} where the actual source is.
Base for configuration (default: ${WRKDIST})
Note that WRKSRC may be a symbolic link, if set to ${WRKDIR}.
.It Ev WRKPKG
Subdirectory of ${WRKBUILD} where package information gets generated.
Defaults to ${WKRBUILD}/pkg, do not override unless
.Sq pkg
conflicts with the port's conventions.
.It Ev WRKINST
Subdirectory of ${WRKDIR} where port normally installs (see
.Ar fake
target).
.It Ev WRKOBJDIR
If non empty, used as a base for the actual port working directory.
The real working directory ${WRKDIR} is created there.
Can be set on a per-${PKGPATH} basis.
For instance, setting WRKOBJDIR_www/mozilla=/tmp/obj
will affect only the mozilla port.
.It Ev X11BASE
Where X11 has been installed (default: /usr/X11R6).
.It Ev USE_GMAKE
Set to
.Sq Yes
if gnu make (${GMAKE}) is needed for correct behavior of this port.
.It Ev USE_LIBTOOL
Set to
.Sq Yes
if libtool is required for correct behavior of this port.
Adds correct dependencies, and passes LIBTOOL environment variable to
scripts invocations.
.It Ev USE_MOTIF
Set to
.Sq any
if port works with any version of motif;
.Sq lesstif
if port requires lesstif to work;
.Sq openmotif
if ports requires openmotif to work.
The
.Sq any
setting creates an extra flavor choice of
.Sq lesstif .
See also
.Ev MOTIFLIB
.It Ev USE_SYSTRACE
Set to
.Sq Yes
to protect port building with systrace.
Set by the user, e.g. in
.Pa /etc/mk.conf .
.It Ev USE_X11
Set to
.Sq Yes
if port requires X11 to work.
.It Ev VMEM_WARNING
Set to
.Sq Yes
if the port requires a lot of memory to compile, and the user is
likely to see a message like
.Qq virtual memory exhausted
with the default process limits.
.It Ev XMKMF
Invocation of xmkmf for CONFIGURE_STYLE=imake port.
Defaults to xmkmf -a -DPorts.
The -DPorts is specific to
.Ox
and is always appended.
.It Ev YACC
Name of yacc program to pass to gnu-configure, defaults to yacc.
(gnu-configure would always try to use bison otherwise, which leads to
unreproducible builds.)
Set to bison if needed.
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width files/md5
.It Pa ../Makefile.inc
Common Makefile fragment for a set of ports, included automatically.

.It Ev COMMENT
Used to be the name of the comment file for a package.
It now holds the comment itself.
Some magic has been put in to allow for a seamless transition.
.It Ev DESCR_SRC
From
.Nx .
This is DESCR.
.Ox
does not give a specific name to the generated file.
It is not recommended to try to access them directly.
.It Ev EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS
Was used to cobble together the normal extraction command, as
${EXTRACT_CMD} ${EXTRACT_BEFORE_ARGS} ${EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS}.

.It Ev FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS , Ev FETCH_AFTER_ARGS
Set

Used to specify dependencies that were needed to fetch files.
It is much easier to mirror locally weird distribution files.
.It Ev GNU_CONFIGURE

.It Ev HAVE_MOTIF
Old user settings.
No longer needed since OpenMotif is now free.
.It Ev IGNOREFILES
Set to the list of files that can't be checksummed.
All uses of it have led to postponing the correct action: talking

.It Ev MANn
List of unformatted manpages, per section.
.It Ev MANPREFIX
Location for storing unformatted manpages.
Derived directly from

.Ox
uses a single port with flavors or multi-packages to produce
package variations instead.
.It Ev MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR
Contents were used to replace
.Sq %SUBDIR%
in all

.Sq %SUBDIR%
almost always occur at the end of the directory,

to determine which files can be mirrored instead.
See
.Xr mirroring-ports 7 .
.It Ev NEED_VERSION
Used to set a requirement on a specific revision of

No longer needed as
.Nm
should always be kept up-to-date.
.It Ev NO_CONFIGURE
If ${CONFIGURE_SCRIPT} does not exist, no automatic configuration will
be done anyway.
.It Ev NO_DESCRIBE
All ports should generate a description.
.It Ev NO_EXTRACT
Set EXTRACT_ONLY= instead.
.It Ev NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES
Use

.It Ev NO_MTREE
Starting with
.Ox 2.7 ,
the operating system installation script runs the /usr/local specification
globally, instead of embedding it in each package.
So packages no longer record an
.Xr mtree 8
specification.
Use an explicit
.Sq @exec
command if needed.
.It Ev NO_PACKAGE
All ports should generate a package, preferably before install.
.It Ev NO_PATCH
The absence of a patches directory does the same.
Use PATCHDIR and PATCH_LIST if patches need to be changed dynamically.

.It Ev PERMIT_{DISTFILES,PACKAGE}_{CDROM,FTP}
Set to

if package or distribution files can be allowed on ftp sites or cdrom without
legal issues.
Set to reason not to otherwise.
PERMIT_* lines in the Makefile should be preceded with a comment explaining
details about licensing and patents issues the port may have.
Porters must be very thorough in their checks.
In case of doubt, ask.
.It Ev PLIST_SRC
From

This is PLIST.
.Ox
does not give a specific name to the generated file.
It is not recommended to try to access them directly.
.It Ev PKGNAME
Used to refer to the full package name, has been superseded by
.Ev FULLPKGNAME-foo ,
for

-foo .
.Ev PKGNAME
now holds the package name, not taking multi-packages or flavors
into account.
Most ports are not concerned by this change.
.It Ev PLIST_SUBST
From

.Sh OBSOLETE FILES
.Bl -tag -width files/md5
.It Pa ${FILESDIR}/md5

.It Pa ${PKGDIR}/PLIST.noshared
Use PFRAG.shared or PFRAG.no-shared instead.
PLIST.noshared was too easy to forget when updating ports.
.It Pa ${PKGDIR}/PLIST.sed
Use PLIST directly.
Until revision 1.295,
.Nm
did not substitute variables in the packing list unless this special form
was used.
.It Pa /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk
Original location of
.Nm bsd.port.mk .
The current file lives under
.Pa ${PORTSDIR}/infrastructure/mk/bsd.port.mk ,
whereas
.Pa /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk
is just a stub.
.It Pa {scripts,files,patches}.${OPSYS}
The
.Ox
ports tree focuses on robustness, not on being portable to other operating
systems.
In any case, portability should not need to depend on operating
system dependent patches.
.It Pa /usr/local/etc
Used by

to marshall system configuration files.
All

.El
.Sh THE FAKE FRAMEWORK
The
.Ar fake
target is used to install the port in a private directory first, ready for
packaging by the
.Ar package
target, so that the real installation will use the package.
.Pp
Essentially,
.Ar fake
invokes a real
.Ar install
process after tweaking a few variables.
.Pp
.Ar fake
first creates a skeleton tree under ${WRKINST}, using the
.Xr mtree 8
specification
.Pa ${PORTSDIR}/infrastructure/db/fake.mtree .
.Pp
A
.Ar pre-fake
target may be used to complete that skeleton tree.
For instance, a few ports may need supplementary stuff to be present (as
it would be installed if the ports' dependencies were present).
.Pp
If {pre,do,post}-install overrides are present, they are used with some
important changes: PREFIX is set to ${WRKINST}${PREFIX}, ${DESTDIRNAME}
is set to ${WRKINST}, and TRUEPREFIX is set to ${PREFIX}.
Essentially, old install targets work transparently, except for a need to
change PREFIX to TRUEPREFIX for symbolic links and similar path lookups.
Specific traditional post install work can be simply removed, as it will
be taken care of by the package itself (for instance, ldconfig, or
texinfo's install-info).
.Pp
If no do-install override is present, the port is installed using
.Bd -literal -offset 2n
env -i ${MAKE_ENV}
PREFIX=${WRKINST}${PREFIX} ${DESTDIRNAME}=${WRKINST} TRUEPREFIX=${PREFIX}
${MAKE_PROGRAM} ${FAKE_FLAGS} -f ${MAKE_FILE} ${FAKE_TARGET}
.Ed
.Pp
Note that this does set both PREFIX and ${DESTDIRNAME}.
If a port's Makefile both heeds ${DESTDIRNAME},
and references PREFIX explicitly,
FAKE_FLAGS may rectify the problem by setting PREFIX=${PREFIX}
(which will do the right thing, since ${PREFIX} is a
.Xr make 1
construct which will not be seen by the shell).
.Pp
${FAKE_FLAGS} is used to set variables on
.Xr make 1
command line, which will override the port Makefile contents.
Thus, a port that mentions DESTDIR= does not need any patch to work with fake.
.Sh FLAVORS AND MULTI_PACKAGES
Starting with
.Ox 2.7 ,
each port can generate several packages through two orthogonal mechanisms:
FLAVORS and MULTI_PACKAGES.
.Pp
If a port can be compiled with several options, set FLAVORS to the list of
possible options in the Makefile.
When building the port, set
.Li "FLAVOR='option1 option2...'"
to build a specific flavor of the port.
The Makefile should test the value of FLAVOR as follows:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
FLAVOR?=
\&.if ${FLAVOR:L:Moption1}
# what to do if option1
\&.endif
\&.if ${FLAVOR:L:Moption2}
# what to do if option2
\&.endif
.Ed
.Pp
.Pa bsd.port.mk
takes care of a few details, such as generating a distinct work directory for
each flavor, or adding a dash separated list of options to the package
name.
The order in which FLAVOR is specified does not matter: the generated list,
called the canonical package extension, matches the ordering of FLAVORS.
Also, it is an error to specify an option in FLAVOR that does not appear
in FLAVORS.
.Pp
In recursive package building, flavors can be specified as a comma
separated list after the package directory, e.g., SUBDIR+=vim,no_x11.
.Pp
Finally, packing information will use templates with the canonical package
extension if they are available: if FLAVOR='option1 option2' and both
COMMENT and COMMENT-option1-option2 are available, COMMENT-option1-option2 will
be used.
.Pp
If a port can generate several useful packages, set MULTI_PACKAGES
accordingly.
Each extension of a MULTI_PACKAGES name should start with a dash, so that
they cannot be confused with FLAVORS.
In dependency checking and recursive builds, a subpackage can be
specified after a comma, e.g., SUBDIR+=quake,-server.
MULTI_PACKAGES only affects the actual package building step (and the
describe step, since a MULTI_PACKAGES port will produce several
descriptions).
.Pp
If MULTI_PACKAGES is set, each element of MULTI_PACKAGES triggers a
recursive make package, with SUBPACKAGE set to the right value, and
PACKAGING defined.
For instance, if MULTI_PACKAGES=-lib -server,
make package will work as follows:
.Pp
.Bl -bullet -compact
.It
Run env SUBPACKAGE= PACKAGING= make package,
.It
Run env SUBPACKAGE=-lib PACKAGING=-lib make package,
.It
Run env SUBPACKAGE=-server PACKAGING=-server make package,
.El
.Pp
The port's Makefile can test the value of SUBPACKAGE to specialize
processing for all sub packages.
Note that SUBPACKAGE can also be set for dependency checking, so be
careful to also test PACKAGING: the build stage is shared among all
subpackages, and tests often only make sense during the packaging stage.
All packing information is derived from
templates with SUBPACKAGE appended.
In the preceding example, the packing-list template for pkgname-foo
must be in PLIST-foo.
.Sh THE GENERATION OF PACKING INFORMATION
Starting after
.Ox 2.7
(around revision 1.300 of bsd.port.mk), all packing information is
generated from templates in ${PKGDIR}.
.Pp
.Bl -bullet -compact
.It
If not overridden by the user, determine which set of templates to use,
depending on the current SUBPACKAGE and FLAVOR information.
Set ${PLIST}, ${DESCR}, ${COMMENT}, ${MESSAGE} accordingly.
.It
Detect the existence of ${PKGDIR}/{REQ,INSTALL,DEINSTALL}${SUBPACKAGE}.
Modify PKG_ARGS accordingly, to use the generated files, and add
dependencies to regenerate the files if the templates change.
.It
Generate the actual DESCR, and if needed, MESSAGE, REQ, INSTALL, DEINSTALL
from the templates in ${DESCR}, ${MESSAGE}, ${PKGDIR}/REQ${SUBPACKAGE},
${PKGDIR}/INSTALL${SUBPACKAGE}, ${PKGDIR}/DEINSTALL${SUBPACKAGE}, by
substituting the variables in ${SUBST_VARS}, and by substituting
${FLAVORS} with the canonical flavor extension for this port,
e.g., if FLAVORS=no_map gfx qt2, if FLAVOR=gfx no_map, this is
.Sq -no_map-gfx .
.It
Generate the actual PLIST from the template ${PLIST},
by inserting shared/no-shared fragments, applying a possible user-supplied
pipeline, merging other fragments, applying the same variable
substitutions as other packing information, and finally handling
dynamic libraries macros.
.El
.Pp
Note that ${COMMENT} is currently not substituted, to speed up
.Ar describe
generation.
.Pp
To avoid substitution, variables can be escaped as follows:
.Li "$\e{PREFIX}"
.Pp
Constructs such as the line
.Li "%%SHARED%%"
or
.Li "!%%SHARED%%"
in the packing-list template trigger the inclusion of the
.Pa ${PKGDIR}/PFRAG.shared${SUBPACKAGE}
or
.Pa ${PKGDIR}/PFRAG.no-shared${SUBPACKAGE} .
.Pp
Similarly, if FLAVORS lists flav1, then the line
.Li "%%flav1%%"
(resp.
.Li "!%%flav1%%" )
will trigger the inclusion of
.Pa ${PKGDIR}/PFRAG.flav1${SUBPACKAGE}
(resp.
.Pa ${PKGDIR}/PFRAG.no-flav1${SUBPACKAGE} )
in the packing-list.
Fragments that cannot be handled by these simple rules
can always be specified in a custom SED_PLIST.
.Pp
The constructs
.Li "DYNLIBDIR(directory)"
and
.Li "NEWDYNLIBDIR(directory)"
should be used in
.Pa ${PKGDIR}/PFRAG.shared${SUBPACKAGE}
to register directories that hold dynamic libraries (see
.Xr ldconfig 8 ) .
.Li "NEWDYNLIBDIR"
is meant for directories that will go away when the package is deleted.
If possible, it should not be used, because users also have to edit
.Pa rc.conf
to add the directory.
It is usually better to also let libraries be visible as a link
under ${LOCALBASE}.
Having a separate directory is enough to trick
.Xr ld 1
into grabbing the right version.
Note that libraries used only for
.Xr dlopen 3
do not need NEWDYNLIBDIR.
.Pp
The special
.Ar update-plist
target does a fairly good job of automatically generating PLIST and
PFRAG.shared fragments.
.Pp
In MULTI_PACKAGES mode, there must be separate COMMENT, DESCR, and PLIST
templates for each SUBPACKAGE (and optional distinct MESSAGE, REQ, INSTALL,
DEINSTALL files in a similar way).
This contrasts with the FLAVORS
situation, where all these files will automatically default to the
non-flavor version if there is no flavor-specific file around.

.Sh HISTORY
The ports mechanism originally came from
.Fx .
A lot of additions were taken from
.Nx
over the years.
.Pp
When the file grew too large, it was cleaned up to restore some of
its speed and remove a lot of bugs.
.Pp
FLAVORS, MULTI_PACKAGES and FAKE are
.Ox
improvements.
.\" Voluntarily undocumented:
.\" AUTOCONF_ENV: probably not needed anyway, should be internal.
.Sh BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
.Ev LOCALBASE ,
.Ev X11BASE ,
.Ev SYSCONFDIR
and
.Ev PREFIX
are not heeded consistently.
Most of the ports tree will probably fall
apart if one tries to build/use stuff elsewhere.
