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

136: ## make
137:
138: Now you know what kind of files you can see when you're in a port
139: directory. The command used to compile it is the NetBSD `make` but
140: often `bmake` on non NetBSD systems to avoid Makefile errors. Typing
141: make alone will only compile the program but you can also use other
142: command line arguments to make such as extract, patch, configure,
143: install, package, ...
144:
145: I'll try to list them and explain them in logical order. You can run them together.
146:
147: - `make clean` will remove the source file from the work directory
148: so you can restart with either new options, new patches, ...
149: - `make fetch` will simply fetch the file and check if the hash
150: corresponds. It will throw an error if it doesn't.
151: - `make distinfo` or `make mdi` to update the file hashes in the
152: `distinfo` file mentionned above.
153: - `make extract` extracts the program source files from it's archive
154: in the work directory
155: - `make patch` applies the local pkgsrc patches to the source
156: - `make configure` run the GNU configure script
157: - `make` or `make build` or `make all` will stop after the program
158: is compiled
159: - `make stage-install` will install in the port destdir, where
160: pkgsrc first installs program files to check if the files correspond
161: with the `PLIST` contents before installing to your prefix. For
162: `wget`, if you have a default WRKOBJDIR (I'll explain later), the
163: program files will first be installed in
164: `<path>/pkgsrc/net/wget/work/.destdir` then after a few checks,
165: in your actual prefix like `/usr/pkg`
166: - `make test` run package tests, if they have any
167: - `make package` create a package without installing it, it will
168: install dependencies though
169: - `make replace` upgrade or reinstall the port if already installed
170: - `make deinstall` deinstall the program
171: - `make install` installs from the aforementionned `work/.destdir`
172: to your prefix
173: - `make bin-install` installs a package for the port, locally if
174: previously built or remotely, as defined by BINPKG_SITES in
175: `mk.conf`, you can make a port install dependencies from packages
176: rather than building them with the DEPENDS_TARGET= bin-install
177: in `mk.conf`
178: - `make show-depends` show port dependencies
179: - `make show-options` show various port options, as defined by `options.mk`
180: - `make clean-depends` cleans all port dependencies
181: - `make distclean` remove the source archive
182: - `make package-clean` remove the package
183: - `make distinfo` or `make mdi` to update the `distinfo` file
184: containing file hashes if you have a new distfile or patch
185: - `make print-PLIST` to generate a `PLIST` file from files found
186: in `work/.destdir`
187:
188: You should be aware that there are many make options along with
189: these targets, like
190:
191: - `PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL`
192: - `CHECK_FILES`
193: - and many others described the the NetBSD pkgsrc guide
194:
195:
196: ## pkgsrc configuration

234:
235: - I use `DISTDIR`, `PACKAGES`, `WRKOBJDIR` to move distfiles,
236: packages and source files somewhere else to keep my pkgsrc tree
237: clean
238: - `PKGSRC_COMPILER`, `CC`, `CXX`, `CPP` and `ABI` are my compiler
239: options. I'm using clang to create 64 bit binaries here
240: - `PKG_DBDIR`, `VARBASE`, `LOCALBASE`, `PKG_TOOLS_BIN` are my prefix
241: and package database path and package tools settings
242: - `PKGINFODIR`, `PKGMANDIR` are the info and man directories
243: - `BINPKG_SITES` is the remote place where to get packages with the
244: `bin-install` make target
245: - `DEPENDS_TARGET` is the way port dependencies should be installed.
246: `bin-install` will simply install a package instead of building
247: the port
248: - `X11_TYPE` sould be `native` or `modular`, the latter meaning we
249: want X11 libraries from pkgsrc instead of using the `native` ones
250: usually in `/usr/X11R7` in Linux or BSD systems and `/opt/X11`
251: on Mac OS X with XQuartz
252: - `TOOLS_PLATFORM.*` points to specific programs used by pkgsrc,
253: here I use the one that was generated by pkgsrc bootstrap for
254: maximum compatibility
255: - `ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES` allows you to disallow the installation
256: of vulnerable packages in critical environments like servers
257: - `MAKE_JOBS` the number of concurrent make jobs, I set it to 8 but
258: it breaks some ports
259: - `SKIP_LICENSE_CHECK` will skip the license check. If disabled you
260: will have to define a list of licenses you find acceptable with
261: `ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES`
262: - `PKG_DEVELOPER` this option will show more details during the port building
263: - `SIGN_PACKAGES` allows you to `gpg` sign packages. More info in
264: my [blog post](http://saveosx.org/signed-packages/) about it
265: - `PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS` allows you to enable or disable specific
266: options for all ports (as defined with ports' options.mk files),
267: I disabled a few options so less ports would break, pulseaudio
268: doesn't build on Mac OS X for example, neither do x264, dconf
269:
270: Keep in mind that there are many other available options.
271:
272:
273: ## creating a simple port
274:
275: Let's create a little port using the tools we've talked about above.
276: I will use a little window manager called 2bwm.
277:
278: - We need an url for the program source files archive. It can be a
279: direct link to a tar or xz archive. Mine's
280: `http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/Darwin/distfiles/2bwm-0.1.tar.gz`
281:
282: - Now that we have a proper link for our program source, create a
283: directory for your port:
284:
285: $ mkdir ~/pkgsrc/wm/2bwm
286:
287: - Use `url2pkg` to create the needed files automatically:
288:
289: $ url2pkg http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/Darwin/distfiles/2bwm-0.1.tar.gz
290:
291: You'll be presented with a text editor like `vim` to enter basic
292: Makefile options:
293:
294: - `DISTNAME`, `CATEGORIES`, `MASTER_SITES` should be set automatically
295: - enter your mail address for `MAINTAINER` so users know whom to
296: contact if the port is broken
297: - make sure the `HOMEPAGE` is set right, for 2bwm it is a github page
298: - write a `COMMENT`, it should be a one-line description of the program
299: - find out which license the program uses, in my case it is the
300: `isc` license. You can find a list of licenses in `pkgsrc/mk/licenses.mk`.
301: - Below you will see `.include "../../mk/bsd.pkg.mk"` at the end
302: of the Makefile and above this should go the port's needed
303: dependencies to build, we'll leave that empty at the moment and
304: try to figure out what 2bwm needs
305: - exit vim and it should fetch and update the file hashes for you.
306: If it says `permission denied` you can just run `make mdi` to
307: fetch and upadate the `distinfo` file
308:
309: So now you have valid `Makefile` and `distinfo` files but you need
310: to write a paragraph in `DESCR`. You can usually find inspiration
311: on the program's homepage.
312:
313: Here's how they look like at the moment:

354:
355: > 2bwm.c:26:10: fatal error: 'xcb/randr.h' file not found
356:
357: Let's find out which port provides this file !
358:
359: $ pkgin se xcb
360:
361: returns these possible packages:
362:
363: xcb-util-wm-0.3.9nb1 Client and window-manager helpers for ICCCM and EWMH
364: xcb-util-renderutil-0.3.8nb1 Convenience functions for the Render extension
365: xcb-util-keysyms-0.3.9nb1 XCB Utilities
366: xcb-util-image-0.3.9nb1 XCB port of Xlib's XImage and XShmImage
367: xcb-util-0.3.9nb1 = XCB Utilities
368: xcb-proto-1.9 = XCB protocol descriptions (in XML)
369: xcb-2.4nb1 Extensible, multiple cut buffers for X
370:
371: Package content inspection allowed me to find the right port
372:
373: $ pkgin pc libxcb|grep randr.h
374:
375: So we can add the libxcb `buildlink3.mk` file to the Makefile above
376: the bsd.pkg.mk include:
377:
378: .include "../../x11/libxcb/buildlink3.mk"

393:
394: in our Makefile.

451: `PREFIX`, that is set to the right place by pkgsrc. Let's inspect
452: how 2bwm installs:
453:
454: From 2bwm's Makefile:
455:
456: [[!format make """
457: install: $(TARGETS)
458: test -d $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin || mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin

462: install -pm 644 2bwm.man $(DESTDIR)$(MANPREFIX)/man1/2bwm.1
463: install -pm 644 hidden.man $(DESTDIR)$(MANPREFIX)/man1/hidden.1
464: """]]
465:
466: This looks fine since it installs in a `DESTDIR`/`PREFIX` but it sets
467:
468: > PREFIX=/usr/local
469:
470: and
471:
472: > MANPREFIX=$(PREFIX)/share/man
473:
474: In the beginning of the Makefile. We should remove the first line
475: and edit the man prefix:
476:
477: > MANPREFIX=${PKGMANDIR}
478:
479: so pkgsrc can install the program's files in the right place. We
480: have two ways of modifying this file, either patch the Makefile or
481: use `sed` substitution which is a builtin pkgsrc feature that allows
482: you to change lines in files with a sed command before building the
483: port.
484:
485: I will show how to do both ways so you can get an introduction on
486: how to generate patch files for pkgsrc.
487:
488: #### patching the Makefile :
489:
490: - edit the file you need to modify with `pkgvi`:
491:
492:
493: $ pkgvi /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/2bwm-0.1/Makefile
494:
495: which should return:
496:
497: > pkgvi: File was modified. For a diff, type:

501:
502:
503: - create the patch with `mkpatches`, it should create a `patches`
504: directory in the port containing the patch and an original file
505: removed with `mkpatches -c`.
506:
507: $ find patches/*
508: patches/patch-Makefile
509:
510: - now that the patch has been created, we need to add it's hash to
511: distinfo otherwise pkgsrc won't pick it up:
512:
513: $ make mdi
514: you should get this new line:
515:
516: > SHA1 (patch-Makefile) = 9f8cd00a37edbd3e4f65915aa666ebd0f3c04e04
517:
518:
519: - you can now clean and `make patch` and `make stage-install
520: CHECK_FILES=no` since we still haven't generated a proper PLIST.
521: Let's see if 2wm files were installed in the right place this
522: time:
523:
524: $ find /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir/
525:
526: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir/

531: /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/.destdir//usr/pkg/bin/hidden
532:
533: It looks like it is alright ! Let's generate the PLIST:
534:
535: $ make print-PLIST > PLIST
536:
537: containing:

539: @comment [[!paste id=rcsid1]][[!paste id=rcsid2]]

543: There you have a working port you can install normally with
544:
545: $ make install
546:
547:
548: #### using the sed substitution framework
549:
550: You should be able to fix the prefix error much quicker than with
551: the patching explained above thanks to the sed substitution framework.
552: Here's how it looks like in my port Makefile:
553:
554: [[!format make """
555: SUBST_CLASSES+= makefile
556: SUBST_STAGE.makefile= pre-build
557: SUBST_MESSAGE.makefile= Fixing makefile
558: SUBST_FILES.makefile= Makefile
559: SUBST_SED.makefile= -e 's,/usr/local,${PREFIX},g'
560: SUBST_SED.makefile+= -e 's,share/man,${PKGMANDIR},g'
561: """]]
562:
563: As you can see, you can do multiple commands on multiple files, it
564: is very useful for very small fixes like this.
565:
566:
567: #### pkglint
568:
569: Now that we have a working port, we must make sure it complies to the pkgsrc rules.
570:
571: $ pkglint
572:
573: Returns
574:
575: ERROR: DESCR:4: File must end with a newline.
576: ERROR: patches/patch-Makefile:3: Comment expected.
577: 2 errors and 0 warnings found. (Use -e for more details.)
578:
579: Fix the things pkglint tells you to do until you get the glorious:
580:
581: > looks fine.
582:
583: Then you should do some testing on the program itelf on at least
584: two platforms such as NetBSD, Mac OS X. Other platforms supported
585: by pkgsrc can be found at [pkgsrc.org](http://pkgsrc.org). If you
586: would like to submit your pkgsrc upstream you can either subscribe
587: to pkgsrc-wip or ask a NetBSD developer to add it for you.
588:
589: You can find the 2bwm port I submitted in
590: [pkgsrc-wip](http://pkgsrc-wip.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pkgsrc-wip/wip/2bwm/).
591:
592:
593: ## pkgsrc and wip
594:
595: If you want to submit your port for others to use you can either
596: subscribe to pkgsrc-wip or ask a NetBSD developer to add it for you.
597:
598: pkgsrc-wip is hosted on
599: [sourceforge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgsrc-wip/) and you
600: can easily get cvs access to it if you create an account on there
601: and send an email to NetBSD developer `@wiz` (Thomas Klausner)
602: asking nicely for commit access.
603:
604:
605: ## the options framework
606:
607: You can create port options with the `options.mk` file, like for `wm/dwm`
608:
609:
610: [[!format make """

636:
637: This file should be included in the Makefile:

641: If you type `make show-options`, you should see this:
642:
643: Any of the following general options may be selected:
644: xinerama Enable Xinerama support.
645:
646: These options are enabled by default:
647: xinerama
648:
649: These options are currently enabled:
650: xinerama
651:
652: You can select which build options to use by setting PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
653: or PKG_OPTIONS.dwm.
654:
655: Running `make PKG_OPTIONS=""` should build without the `xinerama` dwm option enabled by default.
656:
657: The options.mk file must contain these variables:
658:
659: - `PKG_OPTIONS_VAR` sets the options variable name
660: - `PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS` lists all available options
661: - `PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS` lists options enabled by default
662:
663: It allows you to change configure arguments and include other buildlinks, and various other settings.
664:
665:
666: ## hosting a package repo
667:
668: Now that you've created a few ports, you might want to make precompiled
669: packages available for testing. You will need pkgsrc's `pkg_install`
670: on the host system. I host my [packages](http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/)
671: on a FreeBSD server with a bootstrapped pkgsrc.
672:

674:

743: about this.
744:
745:
746: ## faq
747:
748: #### what if the port I'm making is a dependency for another one?
749:
750: You should just generate the buildlink3.mk file we've talked about
751: earlier like this:
752:
753: $ createbuildlink > buildlink3.mk
754:
755: #### what if the program is only hosted on GitHub ?
756:
757: pkgsrc supports fetching archives from specific git commits on
758: GitHub like this:
759: [[!format make """

765: DIST_SUBDIR= 2bwm
766: WRKSRC= ${WRKDIR}/2bwm-${GHCOMMIT}
767: """]]
768:
769: You can then easily update the git commit and the distinfo with it
770: to update the program.
771:
772: #### what if the program doesn't have a Makefile
773:
774: You can do all Makefile operations directly from the port's Makefile
775: like this:
776:
777:
778: [[!format make """
779: post-extract:

835: make installed from the pkgsrc bootstrap is called `bmake`
836:
837: - If you have a feeling a port is stuck in the building stage,
838: disable make jobs in your mk.conf
