1: This guide should allow you to learn how to create a new port or
2: simply fix a port that you need. There are three target demographics
3: listed below:
4:
5: - binary packages user with pkgin or pkg_add
6: (you should be confident here)
7: - build from source, use options
8: (you will know this after reading the guide)
9: - port developers
10: (you should be able to get started here)
11:
12:
13: ## pkgsrc tree
14:
15: You should have a copy of the pkgsrc tree sitting somewhere on your
16: disk, already bootstrapped, see this [blog
17: post](http://saveosx.org/pkgsrc-bootstrap/) on how to do this.
18:
19: The tree contains a `Makefile`, a `README`, distfiles, packages,
20: category directories containing the ports, the bootstrap directory
21: and some documentation.
22:
23: The `mk/*` directory contains the pkgsrc framework Makefiles but
24: also shell and Awk scripts
25:
26: `pkglocate` is a script to find port names in the tree, though
27: `pkgtools/pkgfind` is much faster.
28:
29:
30: ## use the right tools
31:
32: If you want to get started working on ports like creating new ones
33: or simply fix ones you need, you should know about these tools:
34:
35: - install package developer utilities:
36:
37: pkgin -y in pkg_developer
38:
39: It contains very useful programs like:
40:
41: - checkperms:
42:
43: verify file permissions
44: - createbuildlink:
45:
46: create buildlink3.mk files, which I'll explain later
47: - digest:
48:
49: create hashes for messages with crypto algorithms such as sha512 and many others
50: - lintpkgsrc:
51:
52: checks the whole pkgsrc tree, list all explicitly broken packages for example
53: - pkg_chk:
54:
55: checks package versions and update if necessary
56: - pkg_tarup:
57:
58: create archives of installed programs for later use on other machines or backups
59: - pkgdiff:
60:
61: show diffs of patched files
62: - pkglint:
63:
64: verify the port you're creating for common mistakes (very useful!)
65: - revbump:
66:
67: update package version by one bump by increasing PKGREVISION
68: - url2pkg:
69:
70: create a blank port from the software download link, it saves you some time by filling out a few basic Makefile settings
71: - verifypc:
72:
73: sanity check for pkg-config in ports
74:
75:
76: ## port contents
77:
78: A pkgsrc port should at least contain:
79:
80: - `Makefile` : a comment, developer info, software download site
81: and lots of other possibilities
82: - `DESCR` : a paragraph containing the description for the software
83: of the port we're making
84: - `PLIST` : the list of files to install, pkgsrc will only install
85: the files listed here to your prefix
86: - `distinfo` : hashes of the software archive and patches or files
87: in the port
88:
89:
90: Here's how they would look like for a small port I submitted not
91: long ago in pkgsrc-wip

138: ## make
139:
140: Now you know what kind of files you can see when you're in a port
141: directory. The command used to compile it is the NetBSD `make` but
142: often `bmake` on non NetBSD systems to avoid Makefile errors. Typing
143: make alone will only compile the program but you can also use other
144: command line arguments to make such as extract, patch, configure,
145: install, package, ...
146:
147: I'll try to list them and explain them in logical order. You can run them together.
148:
149: - `make clean` will remove the source file from the work directory
150: so you can restart with either new options, new patches, ...
151: - `make fetch` will simply fetch the file and check if the hash
152: corresponds. It will throw an error if it doesn't.
153: - `make distinfo` or `make mdi` to update the file hashes in the
154: `distinfo` file mentionned above.
155: - `make extract` extracts the program source files from it's archive
156: in the work directory
157: - `make patch` applies the local pkgsrc patches to the source
158: - `make configure` run the GNU configure script
159: - `make` or `make build` or `make all` will stop after the program
160: is compiled
161: - `make stage-install` will install in the port destdir, where
162: pkgsrc first installs program files to check if the files correspond
163: with the `PLIST` contents before installing to your prefix. For
164: `wget`, if you have a default WRKOBJDIR (I'll explain later), the
165: program files will first be installed in
166: `<path>/pkgsrc/net/wget/work/.destdir` then after a few checks,
167: in your actual prefix like `/usr/pkg`
168: - `make test` run package tests, if they have any
169: - `make package` create a package without installing it, it will
170: install dependencies though
171: - `make replace` upgrade or reinstall the port if already installed
172: - `make deinstall` deinstall the program
173: - `make install` installs from the aforementionned `work/.destdir`
174: to your prefix
175: - `make bin-install` installs a package for the port, locally if
176: previously built or remotely, as defined by BINPKG_SITES in
177: `mk.conf`, you can make a port install dependencies from packages
178: rather than building them with the DEPENDS_TARGET= bin-install
179: in `mk.conf`
180: - `make show-depends` show port dependencies
181: - `make show-options` show various port options, as defined by `options.mk`
182: - `make clean-depends` cleans all port dependencies
183: - `make distclean` remove the source archive
184: - `make package-clean` remove the package
185: - `make distinfo` or `make mdi` to update the `distinfo` file
186: containing file hashes if you have a new distfile or patch
187: - `make print-PLIST` to generate a `PLIST` file from files found
188: in `work/.destdir`
189:
190: You should be aware that there are many make options along with
191: these targets, like
192:
193: - `PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL`
194: - `CHECK_FILES`
195: - and many others described the the NetBSD pkgsrc guide
196:
197:
198: ## pkgsrc configuration
199:
200: The framework uses an `mk.conf` file, usually found in /etc. Here's
201: how mine looks:

236:
237: - I use `DISTDIR`, `PACKAGES`, `WRKOBJDIR` to move distfiles,
238: packages and source files somewhere else to keep my pkgsrc tree
239: clean
240: - `PKGSRC_COMPILER`, `CC`, `CXX`, `CPP` and `ABI` are my compiler
241: options. I'm using clang to create 64 bit binaries here
242: - `PKG_DBDIR`, `VARBASE`, `LOCALBASE`, `PKG_TOOLS_BIN` are my prefix
243: and package database path and package tools settings
244: - `PKGINFODIR`, `PKGMANDIR` are the info and man directories
245: - `BINPKG_SITES` is the remote place where to get packages with the
246: `bin-install` make target
247: - `DEPENDS_TARGET` is the way port dependencies should be installed.
248: `bin-install` will simply install a package instead of building
249: the port
250: - `X11_TYPE` sould be `native` or `modular`, the latter meaning we
251: want X11 libraries from pkgsrc instead of using the `native` ones
252: usually in `/usr/X11R7` in Linux or BSD systems and `/opt/X11`
253: on Mac OS X with XQuartz
254: - `TOOLS_PLATFORM.*` points to specific programs used by pkgsrc,
255: here I use the one that was generated by pkgsrc bootstrap for
256: maximum compatibility
257: - `ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES` allows you to disallow the installation
258: of vulnerable packages in critical environments like servers
259: - `MAKE_JOBS` the number of concurrent make jobs, I set it to 8 but
260: it breaks some ports
261: - `SKIP_LICENSE_CHECK` will skip the license check. If disabled you
262: will have to define a list of licenses you find acceptable with
263: `ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES`
264: - `PKG_DEVELOPER` this option will show more details during the port building
265: - `SIGN_PACKAGES` allows you to `gpg` sign packages. More info in
266: my [blog post](http://saveosx.org/signed-packages/) about it
267: - `PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS` allows you to enable or disable specific
268: options for all ports (as defined with ports' options.mk files),
269: I disabled a few options so less ports would break, pulseaudio
270: doesn't build on Mac OS X for example, neither do x264, dconf
271:
272: Keep in mind that there are many other available options documented
273: in the official pkgsrc guide.
274:
275:
276: ## creating a simple port
277:
278: Let's create a little port using the tools we've talked about above.
279: I will use a little window manager called 2bwm.
280:
281: - We need an url for the program source files archive. It can be a
282: direct link to a tar or xz archive. Mine's
283: `http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/Darwin/distfiles/2bwm-0.1.tar.gz`
284:
285: - Now that we have a proper link for our program source, create a
286: directory for your port:
287:
288: $ mkdir ~/pkgsrc/wm/2bwm
289:
290: - Use `url2pkg` to create the needed files automatically:
291:
292: $ url2pkg http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/Darwin/distfiles/2bwm-0.1.tar.gz
293:
294: You'll be presented with a text editor like `vim` to enter basic
295: Makefile options:
296:
297: - `DISTNAME`, `CATEGORIES`, `MASTER_SITES` should be set automatically
298: - enter your mail address for `MAINTAINER` so users know whom to
299: contact if the port is broken
300: - make sure the `HOMEPAGE` is set right, for 2bwm it is a github page
301: - write a `COMMENT`, it should be a one-line description of the program
302: - find out which license the program uses, in my case it is the
303: `isc` license. You can find a list of licenses in `pkgsrc/mk/licenses.mk`.
304: - Below you will see `.include "../../mk/bsd.pkg.mk"` at the end
305: of the Makefile and above this should go the port's needed
306: dependencies to build, we'll leave that empty at the moment and
307: try to figure out what 2bwm needs
308: - exit vim and it should fetch and update the file hashes for you.
309: If it says `permission denied` you can just run `make mdi` to
310: fetch and upadate the `distinfo` file
311:
312: So now you have valid `Makefile` and `distinfo` files but you need
313: to write a paragraph in `DESCR`. You can usually find inspiration
314: on the program's homepage.
315:
316: Here's how they look like at the moment:

347: Michael Cardell. In 2bWM everything is accessible from the keyboard
348: but a pointing device can be used for move, resize and raise/lower.
349:
350: But our PLIST file is still empty.
351:
352:
353: #### build stage
354:
355: Let's try to build the port to see if things work but as soon as
356: the build stage starts, we get this error:
357:
358: > 2bwm.c:26:10: fatal error: 'xcb/randr.h' file not found
359:
360: Let's find out which port provides this file !
361:
362: $ pkgin se xcb
363:
364: returns these possible packages:
365:
366: xcb-util-wm-0.3.9nb1 Client and window-manager helpers for ICCCM and EWMH
367: xcb-util-renderutil-0.3.8nb1 Convenience functions for the Render extension
368: xcb-util-keysyms-0.3.9nb1 XCB Utilities
369: xcb-util-image-0.3.9nb1 XCB port of Xlib's XImage and XShmImage
370: xcb-util-0.3.9nb1 = XCB Utilities
371: xcb-proto-1.9 = XCB protocol descriptions (in XML)
372: xcb-2.4nb1 Extensible, multiple cut buffers for X
373:
374: Package content inspection allowed me to find the right port
375:
376: $ pkgin pc libxcb|grep randr.h
377:
378: So we can add the libxcb `buildlink3.mk` file to the Makefile above
379: the bsd.pkg.mk include:
380:
381: .include "../../x11/libxcb/buildlink3.mk"
382:
383: This allows the port to link 2bwm against the libxcb port. Let's
384: try to build the port again!
385:
386: $ make clean
387: $ make
388:
389: Reports another error !
390:
391: > 2bwm.c:27:10: fatal error: 'xcb/xcb_keysyms.h' file not found
392:
393: It looks like this file is provided by xcb-util-keysyms, so let's add:
394:
395: .include "../../x11/xcb-util-keysyms/buildlink3.mk"
396:
397: in our Makefile.
398:
399: Clean, build again, and add more dependencies until it passes the
400: build stage. Here's how my Makefile ends up looking like:
401:
402: {% highlight make %}
403: # [[!paste id=rcsid1]][[!paste id=rcsid2]]

421:
422: #### install phase
423:
424: Geat ! We got our program to compile in pkgsrc. Now we must generate
425: the PLIST file so we can actually install the program, but we must
426: `make stage-install` to make sure that it installs in the right
427: place.
428:
429:
430: $ find /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir/
431:
432: returns:
433:
434: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir/
435: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr
436: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local
437: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local/bin
438: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local/bin/2bwm
439: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local/bin/hidden
440: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local/share
441: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local/share/man
442: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local/share/man/man1

444: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/local/share/man/man1/hidden.1
445: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/pkg
446:
447: This doesn't look right since our `LOCALBASE` is `/usr/pkg`.
448:
449:
450: $ make print-PLIST
451:
452: returns nothing, because 2bwm installs files in the wrong place so
453: we need to fix 2bwm's own Makefile to use the right `DESTDIR` and
454: `PREFIX`, that is set to the right place by pkgsrc. Let's inspect
455: how 2bwm installs:
456:
457: From 2bwm's Makefile:
458:
459: {% highlight make %}
460: install: $(TARGETS)
461: test -d $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin || mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin
462: install -pm 755 2bwm $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin
463: install -pm 755 hidden $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin
464: test -d $(DESTDIR)$(MANPREFIX)/man1 || mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(MANPREFIX)/man1
465: install -pm 644 2bwm.man $(DESTDIR)$(MANPREFIX)/man1/2bwm.1
466: install -pm 644 hidden.man $(DESTDIR)$(MANPREFIX)/man1/hidden.1
467: {% endhighlight %}
468:
469: This looks fine since it installs in a `DESTDIR`/`PREFIX` but it sets
470:
471: > PREFIX=/usr/local
472:
473: and
474:
475: > MANPREFIX=$(PREFIX)/share/man
476:
477: In the beginning of the Makefile. We should remove the first line
478: and edit the man prefix:
479:
480: > MANPREFIX=${PKGMANDIR}
481:
482: so pkgsrc can install the program's files in the right place. We
483: have two ways of modifying this file, either patch the Makefile or
484: use `sed` substitution which is a builtin pkgsrc feature that allows
485: you to change lines in files with a sed command before building the
486: port.
487:
488: I will show how to do both ways so you can get an introduction on
489: how to generate patch files for pkgsrc.
490:
491: #### patching the Makefile :
492:
493: - edit the file you need to modify with `pkgvi`:
494:
495:
496: $ pkgvi /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/2bwm-0.1/Makefile
497:
498: which should return:
499:
500: > pkgvi: File was modified. For a diff, type:
501: pkgdiff "/Volumes/Backup/pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/2bwm-0.1/Makefile"
502:
503: and this returns our diff.
504:
505:
506: - create the patch with `mkpatches`, it should create a `patches`
507: directory in the port containing the patch and an original file
508: removed with `mkpatches -c`.
509:
510: $ find patches/*
511: patches/patch-Makefile
512:
513: - now that the patch has been created, we need to add it's hash to
514: distinfo otherwise pkgsrc won't pick it up:
515:
516: $ make mdi
517: you should get this new line:
518:
519: > SHA1 (patch-Makefile) = 9f8cd00a37edbd3e4f65915aa666ebd0f3c04e04
520:
521:
522: - you can now clean and `make patch` and `make stage-install
523: CHECK_FILES=no` since we still haven't generated a proper PLIST.
524: Let's see if 2wm files were installed in the right place this
525: time:
526:
527: $ find /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir/
528:
529: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir/
530: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr
531: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/pkg
532: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/pkg/bin
533: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/pkg/bin/2bwm
534: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/pkg/bin/hidden
535:
536: It looks like it is alright ! Let's generate the PLIST:
537:
538: $ make print-PLIST > PLIST
539:
540: containing:
541:
542: @comment [[!paste id=rcsid1]][[!paste id=rcsid2]]
543: bin/2bwm
544: bin/hidden
545:
546: There you have a working port you can install normally with
547:
548: $ make install
549:
550:
551: #### using the sed substitution framework
552:
553: You should be able to fix the prefix error much quicker than with
554: the patching explained above thanks to the sed substitution framework.
555: Here's how it looks like in my port Makefile:
556:
557: {% highlight make %}
558: SUBST_CLASSES+= makefile
559: SUBST_STAGE.makefile= pre-build
560: SUBST_MESSAGE.makefile= Fixing makefile
561: SUBST_FILES.makefile= Makefile
562: SUBST_SED.makefile= -e 's,/usr/local,${PREFIX},g'
563: SUBST_SED.makefile+= -e 's,share/man,${PKGMANDIR},g'
564: {% endhighlight %}
565:
566: As you can see, you can do multiple commands on multiple files, it
567: is very useful for very small fixes like this.
568:
569:
570: #### pkglint
571:
572: Now that we have a working port, we must make sure it complies to the pkgsrc rules.
573:
574: $ pkglint
575:
576: Returns
577:
578: ERROR: DESCR:4: File must end with a newline.
579: ERROR: patches/patch-Makefile:3: Comment expected.
580: 2 errors and 0 warnings found. (Use -e for more details.)
581:
582: Fix the things pkglint tells you to do until you get the glorious:
583:
584: > looks fine.
585:
586: Then you should do some testing on the program itelf on at least
587: two platforms such as NetBSD, Mac OS X. Other platforms supported
588: by pkgsrc can be found at [pkgsrc.org](http://pkgsrc.org). If you
589: would like to submit your pkgsrc upstream you can either subscribe
590: to pkgsrc-wip or ask a NetBSD developer to add it for you.
591:
592: You can find the 2bwm port I submitted in
593: [pkgsrc-wip](http://pkgsrc-wip.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pkgsrc-wip/wip/2bwm/).
594:
595:
596: ## pkgsrc and wip
597:
598: If you want to submit your port for others to use you can either
599: subscribe to pkgsrc-wip or ask a NetBSD developer to add it for you
600: which can be tough. Even though there are many IRC channels in which
601: you can find nice developers, you will have to take the time to get
602: to know them. The easiest way for beginners is to submit to pkgsrc-wip
603: so other people can review and test it first.
604:
605: pkgsrc-wip is hosted on
606: [sourceforge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgsrc-wip/) and you
607: can easily get cvs access to it if you create an account on there
608: and send an email to NetBSD developer `@wiz` (Thomas Klausner)
609: asking nicely for commit access. I got access fairly quickly and
610: he even fixed a port to show me how to do it properly.
611:
612: You can also send me an email or talk to me on IRC so I can submit it for you.
613:
614:
615: ## the options framework
616:
617: You can create port options with the `options.mk` file, like for `wm/dwm`
618:
619:
620: {% highlight make %}
621: # [[!paste id=rcsid1]][[!paste id=rcsid2]]
622:
623: PKG_OPTIONS_VAR= PKG_OPTIONS.dwm
624: PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS= xinerama
625: PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS= xinerama
626:
627: .include "../../mk/bsd.options.mk"
628:
629: #
630: # Xinerama support
631: #
632: # If we don't want the Xinerama support we delete XINERAMALIBS and
633: # XINERAMAFLAGS lines, otherwise the Xinerama support is the default.
634: #
635: .if !empty(PKG_OPTIONS:Mxinerama)
636: . include "../../x11/libXinerama/buildlink3.mk"
637: .else
638: SUBST_CLASSES+= options
639: SUBST_STAGE.options= pre-build
640: SUBST_MESSAGE.options= Toggle the Xinerama support
641: SUBST_FILES.options= config.mk
642: SUBST_SED.options+= -e '/^XINERAMA/d'
643: . include "../../x11/libX11/buildlink3.mk"
644: .endif
645: {% endhighlight %}
646:
647: This file should be included in the Makefile:
648:
649: .include "options.mk"
650:
651: If you type `make show-options`, you should see this:
652:
653: Any of the following general options may be selected:
654: xinerama Enable Xinerama support.
655:
656: These options are enabled by default:
657: xinerama
658:
659: These options are currently enabled:
660: xinerama
661:
662: You can select which build options to use by setting PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
663: or PKG_OPTIONS.dwm.
664:
665: Running `make PKG_OPTIONS=""` should build without the `xinerama` dwm option enabled by default.
666:
667: The options.mk file must contain these variables:
668:
669: - `PKG_OPTIONS_VAR` sets the options variable name
670: - `PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS` lists all available options
671: - `PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS` lists options enabled by default
672:
673: It allows you to change configure arguments and include other buildlinks, and various other settings.
674:
675:
676: ## hosting a package repo
677:
678: Now that you've created a few ports, you might want to make precompiled
679: packages available for testing. You will need pkgsrc's `pkg_install`
680: on the host system. I host my [packages](http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/)
681: on a FreeBSD server with a bootstrapped pkgsrc.
682:
683: I use this `zsh` function to :
684:
685: {% highlight bash %}
686: add () {
687: # upload the package to remote server
688: scp $1 yrmt@saveosx.org:/usr/local/www/saveosx/packages/Darwin/2013Q4/x86_64/All/ 2> /dev/null
689:
690: # update the package summary
691: ssh yrmt@saveosx.org 'cd /usr/local/www/saveosx/packages/Darwin/2013Q4/x86_64/All/;
692: rm pkg_summary.gz;
693: /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_info -X *.tgz | gzip -9 > pkg_summary.gz'
694:
695: # pkgin update
696: sudo pkgin update
697: }
698: {% endhighlight %}
699:
700: - upload a package
701: - update the package summary, which is an archive containing
702: information about all present packages that will be picked up by
703: pkg_install and pkgin. It looks like this for one package:
704:
705: PKGNAME=osxinfo-0.1
706: DEPENDS=sqlite3>=3.7.16.2nb1
707: COMMENT=Small Mac OS X Info Program

732: - update pkgin
733:
734:
735: And this shell alias to upload all my built packages, but I still

740: {% endhighlight %}
741:
742: Then you should be able to set the url in repositories.conf to use
743: your packages with pkgin. You can also install them directly with
744: something like `pkg_add
745: http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/Darwin/2013Q4/x86_64/All/9menu-1.8nb1.tgz` of
746: course.

749: ## build all packages
750:
751: Bulk building pkgsrc packages is a topic for another post, see
752: jperkin's excellent blog
753: [posts](http://www.perkin.org.uk/posts/distributed-chrooted-pkgsrc-bulk-builds.html)
754: about this.
755:
756:
757: ## faq
758:
759: #### what if the port I'm making is a dependency for another one?
760:
761: You should just generate the buildlink3.mk file we've talked about
762: earlier like this:
763:
764: $ createbuildlink > buildlink3.mk
765:
766: #### what if the program is only hosted on GitHub ?
767:
768: pkgsrc supports fetching archives from specific git commits on
769: GitHub like this:
770: {% highlight make %}
771: PKGNAME= 2bwm-0.1
772: CATEGORIES= wm
773: GHCOMMIT= 52a097ca644eb571b22a135951c945fcca57a25c
774: DISTNAME= ${GHCOMMIT}
775: MASTER_SITES= https://github.com/venam/2bwm/archive/
776: DIST_SUBDIR= 2bwm
777: WRKSRC= ${WRKDIR}/2bwm-${GHCOMMIT}
778: {% endhighlight %}
779:
780: You can then easily update the git commit and the distinfo with it
781: to update the program.
782:
783: #### what if the program doesn't have a Makefile
784:
785: You can do all Makefile operations directly from the port's Makefile
786: like this:
787:
788:
789: {% highlight make %}
790: post-extract:
791: ${CHMOD} a-x ${WRKSRC}/elementary/apps/48/internet-mail.svg
792:
793: do-install:
794: ${INSTALL_DATA_DIR} ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/share/icons
795: cd ${WRKSRC} && pax -rw -pe . ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/share/icons/
796: {% endhighlight %}
797:
798: To install, but you can also build programs from the Makefile. This
799: is what qt4-sqlite3 uses:
800:
801: {% highlight make %}
802: do-build:
803: cd ${WRKSRC}/src/tools/bootstrap && env ${MAKE_ENV} ${GMAKE}
804: cd ${WRKSRC}/src/tools/moc && env ${MAKE_ENV} ${GMAKE}
805: cd ${WRKSRC}/src/plugins/sqldrivers/sqlite && env ${MAKE_ENV} ${GMAKE}
806: {% endhighlight %}
807:
808:
809: You can install the following type of files:
810:
811: `INSTALL_PROGRAM_DIR` : directories that contain binaries
812:
813: `INSTALL_SCRIPT_DIR` : directories that contain scripts
814:
815: `INSTALL_LIB_DIR` : directories that contain shared and static libraries
816:
817: `INSTALL_DATA_DIR`: directories that contain data files
818:
819: `INSTALL_MAN_DIR` : directories that contain man pages
820:
821: `INSTALL_PROGRAM` : binaries that can be stripped from debugging symbols
822:
823: `INSTALL_SCRIPT` : binaries that cannot be stripped
824:
825: `INSTALL_GAME` : game binaries
826:
827: `INSTALL_LIB` : shared and static libraries
828:
829: `INSTALL_DATA` : data files
830:
831: `INSTALL_GAME_DATA` : data files for games
832:
833: `INSTALL_MAN` : man pages
834:
835:
836: `INSTALLATION_DIRS` : A list of directories relative to PREFIX that
837: are created by pkgsrc at the beginning of the install phase. The
838: package is supposed to create all needed directories itself before
839: installing files to it and list all other directories here.
840:
841: #### common errors
842:
843: - > Makefile:19: *** missing separator. Stop.
844:
845: This means you're not using the right `make`. On most systems, the
846: make installed from the pkgsrc bootstrap is called `bmake`
847:
848: - If you have a feeling a port is stuck in the building stage,
849: disable make jobs in your mk.conf
850:
