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}. Normally ${ALLFILES} are checksummed, unless .Ev IGNOREFILES is set to a list of files to ignore. 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}. 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 licence-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} minus ${IGNOREFILES}. .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 . .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 show=name, show the contents of ${name}. 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 variable name. .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. .It Ev ARCH 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. 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 .Pa ${PORTSDIR}/bulk/${MACHINE_ARCH} . .It Ev BULK_FLAGS Flags to pass to build each target in .Ev BULK_TARGETS . .It Ev BULK_TARGETS Targets to run after each bulk package build before cleaning up the working directory. Empty defaults. .It Ev BZIP2 Name of the bzip2 binary. .It Ev CATEGORIES 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 if this path exists. 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. .It Ev CLEANDEPENDS If set to .Sq Yes , .Sq make clean will also clean dependencies. .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. If .Sq gnu , assume gnu configure style. Add .Sq dest if port does not handle DESTDIR correctly, and needs to be configured to add DESTDIR to prefixes .Po see also .Ev DESTDIRNAME .Pc . Add .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 setttings. 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 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. Holds at least the checksum file, sometimes other files (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 Canonical list of flavors being set for the current build, dash-separated. See .Ev FULLPKGNAME . .It Ev FTP_PACKAGES User settings. Base location where packages suitable for ftp (see PERMIT_PACKAGE_FTP) will be placed (default: ${PKGREPOSITORYBASE}/ftp) .It Ev FULLPKGNAME Full name of the main created package, taking flavors into account. Defaults to ${PKGNAME}${FLAVOR_EXT}. .It Ev FULLPKGNAME-foo Full package name for sub-package foo, if the default value is not appropriate. .It Ev FULLPKGPATH Path to the current port's directory, relative to ${PORTSDIR}, including flavors and subpackages. Read-only. .It Ev GMAKE Location of the gnu make binary, if needed. Defaults to gmake. .It Ev HOMEPAGE Set to a link to the homepage of the software, if applicable. .It Ev IGNOREFILES Set to the list of files that cannot be checksummed. For use by ports which fetch dynamically generated archives that can't be checksummed. Avoid using IGNOREFILES whenver possible. .It Ev LIB_DEPENDS Libraries this port depends upon. Each item has the form .Sq lib_specs:[pkgspec]:directory[,-subpackage][,flavor ...][:target] . 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). .It Ev IGNORE The port is ignored and ${IGNORE} is printed if defined. Usually set to the reason the port is ignored. See also .Ev BATCH , .Ev BROKEN , .Ev IGNORE_SILENT , .Ev INTERACTIVE , .Ev IS_INTERACTIVE , .Ev NOT_FOR_ARCHS , .Ev NO_IGNORE , .Ev ONLY_FOR_ARCHS , .Ev USE_X11 . .It Ev IGNORE_SILENT If set to .Sq Yes , do not print anything when ignoring a port. .It Ev INSTALL_{PROGRAM,SCRIPT,DATA,MAN}[_DIR] Macros to use to install a program, a script, a man page, or data (or the corresponding directory, respectively). .It Ev INSTALL_TARGET Target invoked to install the software, during fake installation. Default is .Sq install . .It Ev INTERACTIVE User settings. Set to .Sq Yes to skip all non-interactive ports. 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. If USE_LIBTOOL is set, the environment variable LIBTOOL is set to ${LIBTOOL} ${LIBTOOL_FLAGS}. .It Ev LOCALBASE where other ports have already been installed (default: /usr/local) .It Ev MAINTAINER E-mail address with full name of the port's maintainer. Defaults to ports@openbsd.org. .It Ev MAKE_ENV Environment variables passed to make invocations. Sets at least PATH, PREFIX, LOCALBASE, X11BASE, CFLAGS, TRUEPREFIX, DESTDIR, and the BSD_INSTALL_* macros. .It Ev MAKE_FLAGS Flags used for all make invocations, except for the .Ar fake stage, which uses .Ev FAKE_FLAGS , and for the regress stage, which uses .Ev REGRESS_FLAGS . .It Ev MAKE_FILE Name of the Makefile used for ports building. Defaults to Makefile. Used after changing directory to ${WRKBUILD}. .It Ev MAKE_PROGRAM The make program that is used for building the port. Set to ${MAKE} or ${GMAKE} depending on USE_GMAKE. Read-only. .It Ev MASTER_SITES List of primary location from which distribution files and patchfiles are retrieved. See the .Ar fetch target for more details. See .Xr ports 7 for user configuration. .It Ev MASTER_SITES0 , ... , MASTER_SITES9 Supplementary locations from which distribution files and patchfiles are retrieved. .It Ev MESSAGE File recorded in the package and displayed during installation. Defaults to ${PKGDIR}/MESSAGE if this file exists. Leave empty if no message is needed. .It Ev MTREE_FILE .Xr mtree 8 specification to check when creating a PLIST with the .Ar update-plist target. .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 Read-only. Correct incantation to link with motif. .It Ev MULTI_PACKAGES Set to a list of package extensions for ports that create multiple packages. See .Qq Flavors and multi-packages below. .It Ev NOT_FOR_ARCHS List of architectures on which this port does not build. See also .Ev ONLY_FOR_ARCHS . .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. Use, for instance, for fetching all distribution files, or for fixing a broken port. See also .Ev IGNORE . .It Ev NO_REGRESS Port does not have any regression tests. .It Ev NO_SHARED_ARCHS Set to the list of platforms that do not support shared libraries. Use with .Ev NOT_FOR_ARCHS . .It Ev NO_SHARED_LIBS Set to .Sq Yes if platform does not support shared libraries. To be tested after including .Nm bsd.port.mk , if neither PFRAG.shared nor CONFIGURE_SHARED are enough. .It Ev NO_SYSTRACE Port does not build with systrace enabled build targets. .It Ev ONLY_FOR_ARCHS List of architectures on which this port builds. Can hold both processor-specific information (e.g., m68k), and more specific model information (e.g., hp300). .It Ev OPSYS Always .Ox (read-only). .It Ev OPSYS_VER Revision number of .Ox (read-only). .It Ev PACKAGING Defined while building packages, read-only. See the description of FLAVORS AND MULTI_PACKAGES for a detailed explanation. .It Ev PATCH Command to use to apply all patches. Defaults to .Pa /usr/bin/patch . .It Ev PATCHORIG 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 .Ev DISTFILES , 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. Defaults to -p0 . .It Ev PKG_DBDIR Path to package installation records. Defaults to .Pa /var/db/pkg . User settings. .It Ev PKGREPOSITORY User settings. Location for packages built (default ${PKGREPOSITORYBASE}/all) .It Ev PKGREPOSITORYBASE User settings. Base location for packages built (default ${PORTSDIR}/packages/${ARCH}). .It Ev PORTHOME Setting of env variable .Ev HOME for most shell invocations. Default will trip ports that try to write into $HOME while building. .It Ev PORTPATH Path used by most shell invocations. Don't override unless really needed. .It Ev PORTSDIR Root of the ports tree (default: .Pa /usr/ports ) . .It Ev PKGDIR Location for packaging information (packing list, port description, port short description). Default: pkg.${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. .It Ev PREFERRED_CIPHERS 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 Base directory for the current port installation. 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 ${CHECKSUM_FILE}, and try retrieving files with the correct checksum off .Pa ftp.openbsd.org , in the directory .Pa /pub/OpenBSD/distfiles/$cipher/$value/$file . .It Ev REGRESS_DEPENDS See .Ev BUILD_DEPENDS for specification. Regress dependencies are only checked if the regress stage is invoked. .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 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 HOMEPAGE , .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 , 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 User settings. If set to .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 defined, used as a base for the actual port working directory. The real working directory ${WRKDIR} is created there. .It Ev X11BASE Where X11 has been installed (default: /usr/X11R6). .It Ev USE_GMAKE Set to .Sq Yes if gnu make (${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 xmkf -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 Pa /cdrom/distfiles Default path to a CD-ROM (or other media) full of distribution files. .It Pa Makefile.${ARCH} Arch-dependent Makefile fragment, included automatically. .It Pa ${DISTDIR} cache of all distribution files. .It Pa distinfo Checksum file. Holds the output of .Xr md5 1 , .Xr sha1 1 , and .Xr rmd160 1 for the ports ${DISTFILES} and ${PATCHFILES}. .It Pa ${FULLDISTDIR}/${ALLFILES} cache of distribution files for a given port. .It Pa ${PKGDIR}/DESCR Description for the port. Variables such as ${HOMEPAGE} and ${MAINTAINER} will be expanded (see SUBST_VARS). Multi-package ports will use DESCR${SUBPACKAGE}. .It Pa ${PKGDIR}/COMMENT Short, one line description of the port, that is displayed by .Xr pkg_info 1 , and appears in .Pa ${PORTSDIR}/INDEX . Name will be adjusted for flavored and multi-packages ports. .It Pa ${PORTSDIR}/infrastructure/db/fake.mtree Specification used for populating ${WRKINST} at the start of .Ar fake . Use .Ar pre-fake if this is incomplete. .It Pa ${PORTSDIR}/packages/${MACHINE_ARCH}/cdrom Default setup of ${CDROM_PACKAGES}. .It Pa ${PORTSDIR}/packages/${MACHINE_ARCH}/ftp Default setup of ${FTP_PACKAGES}. .It Pa ${PORTSDIR}/packages/${MACHINE_ARCH}/all Default setup of ${PKGREPOSITORY}. .It Pa ${PORTSDIR}/bulk/${MACHINE_ARCH} Default setup of ${BULK_COOKIES_DIR}. .It Pa ${PORTSDIR}/mystuff Extra directory used to store local ports before committing them. All depend targets will look there after the normal lookup fails. .El .Sh OBSOLETE TARGETS .Bl -tag -width do-configure .It Ar cdrom-packages , ftp-packages Links are now created during the .Ar package target. .It Ar depends-list Renamed into .Ar full-build-depends .It Ar {pre,do}-extract Don't override. Set .Ev EXTRACT_ONLY to nothing and override .Ar post-extract instead. .It Ar fetch-all , Ar fetch-list , Ar mirror-distfiles See .Xr mirroring-ports 7 for more efficient and flexible ways to build mirrors. .It Ar obj Starting with .Ox 3.3 , using .Ev WRKOBJDIR no longer creates a symlink between the current directory and a subdirectory of ${WRKOBJDIR}, so .Ar obj is no longer applicable. .It Ar print-depends Use .Ar print-build-depends and .Ar print-run-depends instead. .It Ar print-depends-list Renamed into .Ar print-build-depends .It Ar print-package-depends Renamed into .It Ar print-run-depends .El .Sh OBSOLETE VARIABLES .Bl -tag -width MASTER_SITES .It Ev CATn List of formatted manpages, per section. .It Ev CATPREFIX Location for storing formatted manpages. Derived directly from .Ev PREFIX . .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}. Use .Ev EXTRACT_CASES instead. .It Ev EXTRACT_BEFORE_ARGS Likewise, use .Ev EXTRACT_CASES instead. .It Ev EXTRACT_CMD Likewise, use .Ev EXTRACT_CASES instead. .It Ev FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS , Ev FETCH_AFTER_ARGS Set .Ev FETCH_CMD to point to a script that does any required special treatment instead. .It Ev FETCH_DEPENDS Used to specify dependencies that were needed to fetch files. It is much easier to mirror locally weird distribution files. .It Ev GNU_CONFIGURE Use .Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE instead. .It Ev HAS_CONFIGURE Use .Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE instead. .It Ev HAVE_MOTIF Old user settings. No longer needed since OpenMotif is now free. .It Ev MANn List of unformatted manpages, per section. .It Ev MANPREFIX Location for storing unformatted manpages. Derived directly from .Ev PREFIX . .It Ev MASTERDIR From .Fx . Used to organize a collection of ports that share most files. .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 .Ev MASTER_SITES variables. Since .Sq %SUBDIR% almost always occur at the end of the directory, the simpler .Li ${VARIABLE:=subdir/} construct is now used instead .Po taken from .Nx .Pc . .It Ev MD5_FILE Use .Ev CHECKSUM_FILE instead. .It Ev MIRROR_DISTFILE Use .Ev PERMIT_DISTFILES_FTP and .Ev PERMIT_DISTFILES_CDROM 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 .Nm needed by a port. No longer needed as .Nm should always be kept up-to-date. .It Ev NO_CONFIGURE If ${CONFIGURE_SCRIPT} does not exist, no automatic configuration will be done anyway. .It Ev NO_DESCRIBE All ports should generate a description. .It Ev NO_EXTRACT Set EXTRACT_ONLY= instead. .It Ev NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES Use .Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE instead. .It Ev NO_MTREE Starting with .Ox 2.7 , the operating system installation script runs the /usr/local specification globally, instead of embedding it in each package. So packages no longer record an .Xr mtree 8 specification. Use an explicit .Sq @exec command if needed. .It Ev NO_PACKAGE All ports should generate a package, preferably before install. .It Ev NO_PATCH The absence of a patches directory does the same. Use PATCHDIR and PATCH_LIST if patches need to be changed dynamically. .It Ev NO_WRKDIR All ports should have a working directory, as this is necessary to store cookies and keep state. .It Ev NO_WRKSUBDIR The same functionality is obtained by setting WRKDIST=${WRKDIR} . .It Ev NOCLEANDEPENDS Use CLEANDEPENDS instead. .It Ev NOMANCOMPRESS .Fx ships with compressed man pages, and uses this variable to control that behavior. .It Ev OBJMACHINE Starting with .Ox 3.3 , setting .Ev WRKOBJDIR creates the whole .Ev WRKDIR hierarchy under ${WRKOBJDIR}, so .Ev OBJMACHINE is no longer useful. .It Ev PACKAGES Base location for packages built, renamed .Ev PKGREPOSITORYBASE . .It Ev PATCH_SITES .Ev PATCHFILES used to be retrieved from a separate site list. For greater flexibility, all files are now retrieved from .Ev MASTER_SITES , .Ev MASTER_SITES0 , ... , .Ev MASTER_SITES9 , using a .Sq :0 to .Sq :9 extension to the file name, e.g., .Bd -literal -offset indent PATCH_FILES=foo.diff.gz PATCH_SITES=ftp://ftp.zoinx.org/pub/ .Ed .Pp becomes .Bd -literal -offset indent PATCH_FILES=foo.diff.gz:0 MASTER_SITES0=ftp://ftp.zoinx.org/pub/ .Ed .It Ev PERMIT_{DISTFILES,PACKAGE}_{CDROM,FTP} Set to .Sq Yes 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 .Nx . 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 .Ev SUBPACKAGE -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 .Nx and .Fx . Use SUBST_VARS instead. .Ox does not allow general substitutions of the form VAR=value, but uses only a list of variables instead. Most package files gets transformed, instead of only the packing list. .It Ev RESTRICTED Port has cryptographic issues. .Ox focuses on .Ev PERMIT_PACKAGE_{FTP,CDROM} instead. .It Ev USE_AUTOCONF Use .Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE instead. .It Ev USE_BZIP2 The framework will automatically detect the presence of .Pa .tar.bz2 files to extract. .It Ev USE_IMAKE Use .Ev CONFIGURE_STYLE instead. .It Ev USE_ZIP The framework will automatically detect the presence of .Pa .zip files to extract. .It Ev VARNAME Use make show=name instead of make show VARNAME=name. .El .Sh OBSOLETE FILES .Bl -tag -width files/md5 .It Pa ${FILESDIR}/md5 Renamed to .Pa distinfo to match other BSD, and save directories. .It Pa ${SCRIPTDIR}/{pre,do,post}-* Identical functionality can be obtained through a {pre,do,post}-* target, invoking the script manually if necessary. .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 .Fx to marshall system configuration files. All .Ox system configuration files are located in .Pa /etc , or in a subdirectory of .Pa /etc . .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 SEE ALSO .Xr ftp 1 , .Xr pkg_add 1 , .Xr library-specs 7 , .Xr packages-specs 7 .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.
