1: This guide should allow you to learn how to create a new port or simply fix a port that you need. There are three target demographics listed below:
2:
3: - binary packages user with pkgin or pkg_add
4: (you should be confident here)
5: - build from source, use options
6: (you will know this after reading the guide)
7: - port developers
8: (you should be able to get started here)
9:
10:
11: ## pkgsrc tree
12:
13: You should have a copy of the pkgsrc tree sitting somewhere on your disk, already bootstrapped, see this [blog post](http://saveosx.org/pkgsrc-bootstrap/) on how to do this.
14:
15: The tree contains a `Makefile`, a `README`, distfiles, packages, category directories containing the ports, the bootstrap directory and some documentation.
16:
17: The `mk/*` directory contains the pkgsrc framework Makefiles but also shell and Awk scripts
18:
19: `pkglocate` is a script to find port names in the tree, though `pkgtools/pkgfind` is much faster.
20:
21:
22: ## use the right tools
23:
24: If you want to get started working on ports like creating new ones or simply fix ones you need, you should know about these tools:
25:
26: - install package developer utilities:
27:
28: pkgin -y in pkg_developer
29:
30: It contains very useful programs like:
31:
32: - checkperms:
33:
34: verify file permissions
35: - createbuildlink:
36:
37: create buildlink3.mk files, which I'll explain later
38: - digest:
39:
40: create hashes for messages with crypto algorithms such as sha512 and many others
41: - lintpkgsrc:
42:
43: checks the whole pkgsrc tree, list all explicitly broken packages for example
44: - pkg_chk:
45:
46: checks package versions and update if necessary
47: - pkg_tarup:
48:
49: create archives of installed programs for later use on other machines or backups
50: - pkgdiff:
51:
52: show diffs of patched files
53: - pkglint:
54:
55: verify the port you're creating for common mistakes (very useful!)
56: - revbump:
57:
58: update package version by one bump by increasing PKGREVISION
59: - url2pkg:
60:
61: create a blank port from the software download link, it saves you some time by filling out a few basic Makefile settings
62: - verifypc:
63:
64: sanity check for pkg-config in ports
65:
66:
67: ## port contents
68:
69: A pkgsrc port should at least contain:
70:
71: - `Makefile` : a comment, developer info, software download site and lots of other possibilities
72: - `DESCR` : a paragraph containing the description for the software of the port we're making
73: - `PLIST` : the list of files to install, pkgsrc will only install the files listed here to your prefix
74: - `distinfo` : hashes of the software archive and patches or files in the port
75:
76:
77: Here's how they would look like for a small port I submitted not long ago in pkgsrc-wip

124: ## make
125:
126: Now you know what kind of files you can see when you're in a port directory. The command used to compile it is the NetBSD `make` but often `bmake` on non NetBSD systems to avoid Makefile errors. Typing make alone will only compile the program but you can also use other command line arguments to make such as extract, patch, configure, install, package, ...
127:
128: I'll try to list them and explain them in logical order. You can run them together.
129:
130: - `make clean` will remove the source file from the work directory so you can restart with either new options, new patches, ...
131: - `make fetch` will simply fetch the file and check if the hash corresponds. It will throw an error if it doesn't.
132: - `make distinfo` or `make mdi` to update the file hashes in the `distinfo` file mentionned above.
133: - `make extract` extracts the program source files from it's archive in the work directory
134: - `make patch` applies the local pkgsrc patches to the source
135: - `make configure` run the GNU configure script
136: - `make` or `make build` or `make all` will stop after the program is compiled
137: - `make stage-install` will install in the port destdir, where pkgsrc first installs program files to check if the files correspond with the `PLIST` contents before installing to your prefix. For `wget`, if you have a default WRKOBJDIR (I'll explain later), the program files will first be installed in `<path>/pkgsrc/net/wget/work/.destdir` then after a few checks, in your actual prefix like `/usr/pkg`
138: - `make test` run package tests, if they have any
139: - `make package` create a package without installing it, it will install dependencies though
140: - `make replace` upgrade or reinstall the port if already installed
141: - `make deinstall` deinstall the program
142: - `make install` installs from the aforementionned `work/.destdir` to your prefix
143: - `make bin-install` installs a package for the port, locally if previously built or remotely, as defined by BINPKG_SITES in `mk.conf`, you can make a port install dependencies from packages rather than building them with the DEPENDS_TARGET= bin-install in `mk.conf`
144: - `make show-depends` show port dependencies
145: - `make show-options` show various port options, as defined by `options.mk`
146: - `make clean-depends` cleans all port dependencies
147: - `make distclean` remove the source archive
148: - `make package-clean` remove the package
149: - `make distinfo` or `make mdi` to update the `distinfo` file containing file hashes if you have a new distfile or patch
150: - `make print-PLIST` to generate a `PLIST` file from files found in `work/.destdir`
151:
152: You should be aware that there are many make options along with these targets, like
153:
154: - `PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL`
155: - `CHECK_FILES`
156: - and many others described the the NetBSD pkgsrc guide
157:
158:
159: ## pkgsrc configuration
160:
161: The framework uses an `mk.conf` file, usually found in /etc. Here's how mine looks:

195: {% endhighlight %}
196:
197: - I use `DISTDIR`, `PACKAGES`, `WRKOBJDIR` to move distfiles, packages and source files somewhere else to keep my pkgsrc tree clean
198: - `PKGSRC_COMPILER`, `CC`, `CXX`, `CPP` and `ABI` are my compiler options. I'm using clang to create 64 bit binaries here
199: - `PKG_DBDIR`, `VARBASE`, `LOCALBASE`, `PKG_TOOLS_BIN` are my prefix and package database path and package tools settings
200: - `PKGINFODIR`, `PKGMANDIR` are the info and man directories
201: - `BINPKG_SITES` is the remote place where to get packages with the `bin-install` make target
202: - `DEPENDS_TARGET` is the way port dependencies should be installed. `bin-install` will simply install a package instead of building the port
203: - `X11_TYPE` sould be `native` or `modular`, the latter meaning we want X11 libraries from pkgsrc instead of using the `native` ones usually in `/usr/X11R7` in Linux or BSD systems and `/opt/X11` on Mac OS X with XQuartz
204: - `TOOLS_PLATFORM.*` points to specific programs used by pkgsrc, here I use the one that was generated by pkgsrc bootstrap for maximum compatibility
205: - `ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES` allows you to disallow the installation of vulnerable packages in critical environments like servers
206: - `MAKE_JOBS` the number of concurrent make jobs, I set it to 8 but it breaks some ports
207: - `SKIP_LICENSE_CHECK` will skip the license check. If disabled you will have to define a list of licenses you find acceptable with `ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES`
208: - `PKG_DEVELOPER` this option will show more details during the port building
209: - `SIGN_PACKAGES` allows you to `gpg` sign packages. More info in my [blog post](http://saveosx.org/signed-packages/) about it
210: - `PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS` allows you to enable or disable specific options for all ports (as defined with ports' options.mk files), I disabled a few options so less ports would break, pulseaudio doesn't build on Mac OS X for example, neither do x264, dconf
211:
212: Keep in mind that there are many other available options documented in the official pkgsrc guide.
213:
214:
215: ## creating a simple port
216:
217: Let's create a little port using the tools we've talked about above. I will use a little window manager called 2bwm.
218:
219: - We need an url for the program source files archive. It can be a direct link to a tar or xz archive. Mine's `http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/Darwin/distfiles/2bwm-0.1.tar.gz`
220:
221: - Now that we have a proper link for our program source, create a directory for your port:
222:
223: $ mkdir ~/pkgsrc/wm/2bwm
224:
225: - Use `url2pkg` to create the needed files automatically:
226:
227: $ url2pkg http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/Darwin/distfiles/2bwm-0.1.tar.gz
228:
229: You'll be presented with a text editor like `vim` to enter basic Makefile options:
230:
231: - `DISTNAME`, `CATEGORIES`, `MASTER_SITES` should be set automatically
232: - enter your mail address for `MAINTAINER` so users know whom to contact if the port is broken
233: - make sure the `HOMEPAGE` is set right, for 2bwm it is a github page
234: - write a `COMMENT`, it should be a one-line description of the program
235: - find out which license the program uses, in my case it is the `isc` license. You can find a list of licenses in `pkgsrc/mk/licenses.mk`.
236: - Below you will see `.include "../../mk/bsd.pkg.mk"` at the end of the Makefile and above this should go the port's needed dependencies to build, we'll leave that empty at the moment and try to figure out what 2bwm needs
237: - exit vim and it should fetch and update the file hashes for you. If it says `permission denied` you can just run `make mdi` to fetch and upadate the `distinfo` file
238:
239: So now you have valid `Makefile` and `distinfo` files but you need to write a paragraph in `DESCR`. You can usually find inspiration on the program's homepage.
240:
241: Here's how they look like at the moment:

269:
270: A fast floating WM, with the particularity of having 2 borders,
271: written over the XCB library and derived from mcwm written by
272: Michael Cardell. In 2bWM everything is accessible from the keyboard
273: but a pointing device can be used for move, resize and raise/lower.
274:
275: But our PLIST file is still empty.
276:
277:
278: #### build stage
279:
280: Let's try to build the port to see if things work but as soon as the build stage starts, we get this error:
281:
282: > 2bwm.c:26:10: fatal error: 'xcb/randr.h' file not found
283:
284: Let's find out which port provides this file !
285:
286: $ pkgin se xcb
287:
288: returns these possible packages:
289:
290: xcb-util-wm-0.3.9nb1 Client and window-manager helpers for ICCCM and EWMH
291: xcb-util-renderutil-0.3.8nb1 Convenience functions for the Render extension
292: xcb-util-keysyms-0.3.9nb1 XCB Utilities
293: xcb-util-image-0.3.9nb1 XCB port of Xlib's XImage and XShmImage
294: xcb-util-0.3.9nb1 = XCB Utilities
295: xcb-proto-1.9 = XCB protocol descriptions (in XML)
296: xcb-2.4nb1 Extensible, multiple cut buffers for X
297:
298: Package content inspection allowed me to find the right port
299:
300: $ pkgin pc libxcb|grep randr.h
301:
302: So we can add the libxcb `buildlink3.mk` file to the Makefile above the bsd.pkg.mk include:
303:
304: .include "../../x11/libxcb/buildlink3.mk"
305:
306: This allows the port to link 2bwm against the libxcb port. Let's try to build the port again!
307:
308: $ make clean
309: $ make
310:
311: Reports another error !
312:
313: > 2bwm.c:27:10: fatal error: 'xcb/xcb_keysyms.h' file not found
314:
315: It looks like this file is provided by xcb-util-keysyms, so let's add:
316:
317: .include "../../x11/xcb-util-keysyms/buildlink3.mk"
318:
319: in our Makefile.
320:
321: Clean, build again, and add more dependencies until it passes the build stage. Here's how my Makefile ends up looking like:
322:
323: {% highlight make %}

343: #### install phase
344:
345: Geat ! We got our program to compile in pkgsrc. Now we must generate the PLIST file so we can actually install the program, but we must `make stage-install` to make sure that it installs in the right place.
346:
347:
348: $ find /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir/
349:
350: returns:
351:
352: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir/
353: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr
354: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local
355: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local/bin
356: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local/bin/2bwm
357: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local/bin/hidden
358: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local/share
359: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local/share/man

363: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/pkg
364:
365: This doesn't look right since our `LOCALBASE` is `/usr/pkg`.
366:
367:
368: $ make print-PLIST
369:
370: returns nothing, because 2bwm installs files in the wrong place so we need to fix 2bwm's own Makefile to use the right `DESTDIR` and `PREFIX`, that is set to the right place by pkgsrc. Let's inspect how 2bwm installs:
371:
372: From 2bwm's Makefile:
373:
374: {% highlight make %}
375: install: $(TARGETS)
376: test -d $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin || mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin
377: install -pm 755 2bwm $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin
378: install -pm 755 hidden $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin
379: test -d $(DESTDIR)$(MANPREFIX)/man1 || mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(MANPREFIX)/man1
380: install -pm 644 2bwm.man $(DESTDIR)$(MANPREFIX)/man1/2bwm.1
381: install -pm 644 hidden.man $(DESTDIR)$(MANPREFIX)/man1/hidden.1
382: {% endhighlight %}
383:
384: This looks fine since it installs in a `DESTDIR`/`PREFIX` but it sets
385:
386: > PREFIX=/usr/local
387:
388: and
389:
390: > MANPREFIX=$(PREFIX)/share/man
391:
392: In the beginning of the Makefile. We should remove the first line and edit the man prefix:
393:
394: > MANPREFIX=${PKGMANDIR}
395:
396: so pkgsrc can install the program's files in the right place. We have two ways of modifying this file, either patch the Makefile or use `sed` substitution which is a builtin pkgsrc feature that allows you to change lines in files with a sed command before building the port.
397:
398: I will show how to do both ways so you can get an introduction on how to generate patch files for pkgsrc.
399:
400: #### patching the Makefile :
401:
402: - edit the file you need to modify with `pkgvi`:
403:
404:
405: $ pkgvi /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/2bwm-0.1/Makefile
406:
407: which should return:
408:
409: > pkgvi: File was modified. For a diff, type:
410: pkgdiff "/Volumes/Backup/pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/2bwm-0.1/Makefile"
411:
412: and this returns our diff.
413:
414:
415: - create the patch with `mkpatches`, it should create a `patches` directory in the port containing the patch and an original file removed with `mkpatches -c`.
416:
417: $ find patches/*
418: patches/patch-Makefile
419:
420: - now that the patch has been created, we need to add it's hash to distinfo otherwise pkgsrc won't pick it up:
421:
422: $ make mdi
423: you should get this new line:
424:
425: > SHA1 (patch-Makefile) = 9f8cd00a37edbd3e4f65915aa666ebd0f3c04e04
426:
427:
428: - you can now clean and `make patch` and `make stage-install CHECK_FILES=no` since we still haven't generated a proper PLIST. Let's see if 2wm files were installed in the right place this time:
429:
430: $ find /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir/
431:
432: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir/

448:
449: There you have a working port you can install normally with
450:
451: $ make install
452:
453:
454: #### using the sed substitution framework
455:
456: You should be able to fix the prefix error much quicker than with the patching explained above thanks to the sed substitution framework. Here's how it looks like in my port Makefile:
457:
458: {% highlight make %}
459: SUBST_CLASSES+= makefile
460: SUBST_STAGE.makefile= pre-build
461: SUBST_MESSAGE.makefile= Fixing makefile
462: SUBST_FILES.makefile= Makefile
463: SUBST_SED.makefile= -e 's,/usr/local,${PREFIX},g'
464: SUBST_SED.makefile+= -e 's,share/man,${PKGMANDIR},g'
465: {% endhighlight %}
466:
467: As you can see, you can do multiple commands on multiple files, it is very useful for very small fixes like this.
468:
469:
470: #### pkglint
471:
472: Now that we have a working port, we must make sure it complies to the pkgsrc rules.
473:
474: $ pkglint
475:
476: Returns
477:
478: ERROR: DESCR:4: File must end with a newline.
479: ERROR: patches/patch-Makefile:3: Comment expected.
480: 2 errors and 0 warnings found. (Use -e for more details.)
481:
482: Fix the things pkglint tells you to do until you get the glorious:
483:
484: > looks fine.
485:
486: Then you should do some testing on the program itelf on at least two platforms such as NetBSD, Mac OS X. Other platforms supported by pkgsrc can be found at [pkgsrc.org](http://pkgsrc.org). If you would like to submit your pkgsrc upstream you can either subscribe to pkgsrc-wip or ask a NetBSD developer to add it for you.
487:
488: You can find the 2bwm port I submitted in [pkgsrc-wip](http://pkgsrc-wip.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pkgsrc-wip/wip/2bwm/).
489:
490:
491: ## pkgsrc and wip
492:
493: If you want to submit your port for others to use you can either subscribe to pkgsrc-wip or ask a NetBSD developer to add it for you which can be tough. Even though there are many IRC channels in which you can find nice developers, you will have to take the time to get to know them. The easiest way for beginners is to submit to pkgsrc-wip so other people can review and test it first.
494:
495: pkgsrc-wip is hosted on [sourceforge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgsrc-wip/) and you can easily get cvs access to it if you create an account on there and send an email to NetBSD developer `@wiz` (Thomas Klausner) asking nicely for commit access. I got access fairly quickly and he even fixed a port to show me how to do it properly.
496:
497: You can also send me an email or talk to me on IRC so I can submit it for you.
498:
499:
500: ## the options framework
501:
502: You can create port options with the `options.mk` file, like for `wm/dwm`
503:
504:
505: {% highlight make %}
506: # $NetBSD: intro_to_packaging.mdwn,v 1.1 2014/07/08 14:19:33 schmonz Exp $
507:
508: PKG_OPTIONS_VAR= PKG_OPTIONS.dwm
509: PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS= xinerama
510: PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS= xinerama
511:
512: .include "../../mk/bsd.options.mk"
513:
514: #
515: # Xinerama support
516: #
517: # If we don't want the Xinerama support we delete XINERAMALIBS and
518: # XINERAMAFLAGS lines, otherwise the Xinerama support is the default.
519: #
520: .if !empty(PKG_OPTIONS:Mxinerama)
521: . include "../../x11/libXinerama/buildlink3.mk"
522: .else
523: SUBST_CLASSES+= options
524: SUBST_STAGE.options= pre-build
525: SUBST_MESSAGE.options= Toggle the Xinerama support
526: SUBST_FILES.options= config.mk
527: SUBST_SED.options+= -e '/^XINERAMA/d'
528: . include "../../x11/libX11/buildlink3.mk"
529: .endif
530: {% endhighlight %}
531:
532: This file should be included in the Makefile:
533:
534: .include "options.mk"
535:
536: If you type `make show-options`, you should see this:
537:
538: Any of the following general options may be selected:
539: xinerama Enable Xinerama support.
540:
541: These options are enabled by default:
542: xinerama
543:
544: These options are currently enabled:
545: xinerama
546:
547: You can select which build options to use by setting PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
548: or PKG_OPTIONS.dwm.
549:
550: Running `make PKG_OPTIONS=""` should build without the `xinerama` dwm option enabled by default.
551:
552: The options.mk file must contain these variables:
553:
554: - `PKG_OPTIONS_VAR` sets the options variable name
555: - `PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS` lists all available options
556: - `PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS` lists options enabled by default
557:
558: It allows you to change configure arguments and include other buildlinks, and various other settings.
559:
560:
561: ## hosting a package repo
562:
563: Now that you've created a few ports, you might want to make
564: precompiled packages available for testing. You will need pkgsrc's `pkg_install` on the host system. I host my [packages](http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/) on a FreeBSD server with a bootstrapped pkgsrc.
565:
566: I use this `zsh` function to :
567:
568: {% highlight bash %}
569: add () {
570: # upload the package to remote server
571: scp $1 yrmt@saveosx.org:/usr/local/www/saveosx/packages/Darwin/2013Q4/x86_64/All/ 2> /dev/null
572:
573: # update the package summary
574: ssh yrmt@saveosx.org 'cd /usr/local/www/saveosx/packages/Darwin/2013Q4/x86_64/All/;
575: rm pkg_summary.gz;
576: /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_info -X *.tgz | gzip -9 > pkg_summary.gz'
577:
578: # pkgin update
579: sudo pkgin update
580: }
581: {% endhighlight %}
582:
583: - upload a package
584: - update the package summary, which is an archive containing information about all present packages that will be picked up by pkg_install and pkgin. It looks like this for one package:
585:
586: PKGNAME=osxinfo-0.1
587: DEPENDS=sqlite3>=3.7.16.2nb1
588: COMMENT=Small Mac OS X Info Program
589: SIZE_PKG=23952

612:
613: - update pkgin
614:
615:
616: And this shell alias to upload all my built packages, but I still need to run `add()` mentionned above to update the pkg_summary
617:
618: {% highlight bash %}
619: up='rsync -avhz --progress /pkgsrc/packages/ root@saveosx.org:/usr/local/www/saveosx/packages/Darwin/2013Q4/x86_64/'
620: {% endhighlight %}
621:
622: Then you should be able to set the url in repositories.conf to use your packages with pkgin. You can also install them directly with something like `pkg_add http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/Darwin/2013Q4/x86_64/All/9menu-1.8nb1.tgz` of course.

624:
625: ## build all packages
626:
627: Bulk building pkgsrc packages is a topic for another post, see jperkin's excellent blog [posts](http://www.perkin.org.uk/posts/distributed-chrooted-pkgsrc-bulk-builds.html) about this.
628:
629:
630: ## faq
631:
632: #### what if the port I'm making is a dependency for another one?
633:
634: You should just generate the buildlink3.mk file we've talked about earlier like this:
635:
636: $ createbuildlink > buildlink3.mk
637:
638: #### what if the program is only hosted on GitHub ?
639:
640: pkgsrc supports fetching archives from specific git commits on GitHub like this:
641: {% highlight make %}
642: PKGNAME= 2bwm-0.1
643: CATEGORIES= wm
644: GHCOMMIT= 52a097ca644eb571b22a135951c945fcca57a25c
645: DISTNAME= ${GHCOMMIT}
646: MASTER_SITES= https://github.com/venam/2bwm/archive/
647: DIST_SUBDIR= 2bwm
648: WRKSRC= ${WRKDIR}/2bwm-${GHCOMMIT}
649: {% endhighlight %}
650:
651: You can then easily update the git commit and the distinfo with it to update the program.
652:
653: #### what if the program doesn't have a Makefile
654:
655: You can do all Makefile operations directly from the port's Makefile like this:
656:
657:
658: {% highlight make %}
659: post-extract:
660: ${CHMOD} a-x ${WRKSRC}/elementary/apps/48/internet-mail.svg
661:
662: do-install:
663: ${INSTALL_DATA_DIR} ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/share/icons
664: cd ${WRKSRC} && pax -rw -pe . ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/share/icons/
665: {% endhighlight %}
666:
667: To install, but you can also build programs from the Makefile. This is what qt4-sqlite3 uses:
668:
669: {% highlight make %}
670: do-build:
671: cd ${WRKSRC}/src/tools/bootstrap && env ${MAKE_ENV} ${GMAKE}
672: cd ${WRKSRC}/src/tools/moc && env ${MAKE_ENV} ${GMAKE}
673: cd ${WRKSRC}/src/plugins/sqldrivers/sqlite && env ${MAKE_ENV} ${GMAKE}
674: {% endhighlight %}
675:
676:
677: You can install the following type of files:
678:
679: `INSTALL_PROGRAM_DIR` : directories that contain binaries
680:
681: `INSTALL_SCRIPT_DIR` : directories that contain scripts
682:
683: `INSTALL_LIB_DIR` : directories that contain shared and static libraries
684:
685: `INSTALL_DATA_DIR`: directories that contain data files
686:
687: `INSTALL_MAN_DIR` : directories that contain man pages
688:
689: `INSTALL_PROGRAM` : binaries that can be stripped from debugging symbols
690:
691: `INSTALL_SCRIPT` : binaries that cannot be stripped
692:
693: `INSTALL_GAME` : game binaries
694:
695: `INSTALL_LIB` : shared and static libraries
696:
697: `INSTALL_DATA` : data files
698:
699: `INSTALL_GAME_DATA` : data files for games
700:
701: `INSTALL_MAN` : man pages
702:
703:
704: `INSTALLATION_DIRS` : A list of directories relative to PREFIX that are created by pkgsrc at the beginning of the install phase. The package is supposed to create all needed directories itself before installing files to it and list all other directories here.
705:
706: #### common errors
707:
708: - > Makefile:19: *** missing separator. Stop.
709:
710: This means you're not using the right `make`. On most systems, the make installed from the pkgsrc bootstrap is called `bmake`
711:
712: - If you have a feeling a port is stuck in the building stage, disable make jobs in your mk.conf
713:
