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

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

233:
234: - I use `DISTDIR`, `PACKAGES`, `WRKOBJDIR` to move distfiles,
235: packages and source files somewhere else to keep my pkgsrc tree
236: clean
237: - `PKGSRC_COMPILER`, `CC`, `CXX`, `CPP` and `ABI` are my compiler
238: options. I'm using clang to create 64 bit binaries here
239: - `PKG_DBDIR`, `VARBASE`, `LOCALBASE`, `PKG_TOOLS_BIN` are my prefix
240: and package database path and package tools settings
241: - `PKGINFODIR`, `PKGMANDIR` are the info and man directories
242: - `BINPKG_SITES` is the remote place where to get packages with the
243: `bin-install` make target
244: - `DEPENDS_TARGET` is the way port dependencies should be installed.
245: `bin-install` will simply install a package instead of building
246: the port
247: - `X11_TYPE` sould be `native` or `modular`, the latter meaning we
248: want X11 libraries from pkgsrc instead of using the `native` ones
249: usually in `/usr/X11R7` in Linux or BSD systems and `/opt/X11`
250: on Mac OS X with XQuartz
251: - `TOOLS_PLATFORM.*` points to specific programs used by pkgsrc,
252: here I use the one that was generated by pkgsrc bootstrap for
253: maximum compatibility
254: - `ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES` allows you to disallow the installation
255: of vulnerable packages in critical environments like servers
256: - `MAKE_JOBS` the number of concurrent make jobs, I set it to 8 but
257: it breaks some ports
258: - `SKIP_LICENSE_CHECK` will skip the license check. If disabled you
259: will have to define a list of licenses you find acceptable with
260: `ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES`
261: - `PKG_DEVELOPER` this option will show more details during the port building
262: - `SIGN_PACKAGES` allows you to `gpg` sign packages. More info in
263: my [blog post](http://saveosx.org/signed-packages/) about it
264: - `PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS` allows you to enable or disable specific
265: options for all ports (as defined with ports' options.mk files),
266: I disabled a few options so less ports would break, pulseaudio
267: doesn't build on Mac OS X for example, neither do x264, dconf
268:
269: Keep in mind that there are many other available options.
270:
271:
272: ## creating a simple port
273:
274: Let's create a little port using the tools we've talked about above.
275: I will use a little window manager called 2bwm.
276:
277: - We need an url for the program source files archive. It can be a
278: direct link to a tar or xz archive. Mine's
279: `http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/Darwin/distfiles/2bwm-0.1.tar.gz`
280:
281: - Now that we have a proper link for our program source, create a
282: directory for your port:
283:
284: $ mkdir ~/pkgsrc/wm/2bwm
285:
286: - Use `url2pkg` to create the needed files automatically:
287:
288: $ url2pkg http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/Darwin/distfiles/2bwm-0.1.tar.gz
289:
290: You'll be presented with a text editor like `vim` to enter basic
291: Makefile options:
292:
293: - `DISTNAME`, `CATEGORIES`, `MASTER_SITES` should be set automatically
294: - enter your mail address for `MAINTAINER` so users know whom to
295: contact if the port is broken
296: - make sure the `HOMEPAGE` is set right, for 2bwm it is a github page
297: - write a `COMMENT`, it should be a one-line description of the program
298: - find out which license the program uses, in my case it is the
299: `isc` license. You can find a list of licenses in `pkgsrc/mk/licenses.mk`.
300: - Below you will see `.include "../../mk/bsd.pkg.mk"` at the end
301: of the Makefile and above this should go the port's needed
302: dependencies to build, we'll leave that empty at the moment and
303: try to figure out what 2bwm needs
304: - exit vim and it should fetch and update the file hashes for you.
305: If it says `permission denied` you can just run `make mdi` to
306: fetch and upadate the `distinfo` file
307:
308: So now you have valid `Makefile` and `distinfo` files but you need
309: to write a paragraph in `DESCR`. You can usually find inspiration
310: on the program's homepage.
311:
312: Here's how they look like at the moment:

352: the build stage starts, we get this error:
353:
354: > 2bwm.c:26:10: fatal error: 'xcb/randr.h' file not found
355:
356: Let's find out which port provides this file !
357:
358: $ pkgin se xcb
359:
360: returns these possible packages:
361:
362: xcb-util-wm-0.3.9nb1 Client and window-manager helpers for ICCCM and EWMH
363: xcb-util-renderutil-0.3.8nb1 Convenience functions for the Render extension
364: xcb-util-keysyms-0.3.9nb1 XCB Utilities
365: xcb-util-image-0.3.9nb1 XCB port of Xlib's XImage and XShmImage
366: xcb-util-0.3.9nb1 = XCB Utilities
367: xcb-proto-1.9 = XCB protocol descriptions (in XML)
368: xcb-2.4nb1 Extensible, multiple cut buffers for X
369:
370: Package content inspection allowed me to find the right port
371:
372: $ pkgin pc libxcb|grep randr.h
373:
374: So we can add the libxcb `buildlink3.mk` file to the Makefile above
375: the bsd.pkg.mk include:
376:
377: .include "../../x11/libxcb/buildlink3.mk"

383: $ make

392:
393: in our Makefile.

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

461: install -pm 644 2bwm.man $(DESTDIR)$(MANPREFIX)/man1/2bwm.1
462: install -pm 644 hidden.man $(DESTDIR)$(MANPREFIX)/man1/hidden.1
463: """]]
464:
465: This looks fine since it installs in a `DESTDIR`/`PREFIX` but it sets
466:
467: > PREFIX=/usr/local
468:
469: and
470:
471: > MANPREFIX=$(PREFIX)/share/man
472:
473: In the beginning of the Makefile. We should remove the first line
474: and edit the man prefix:
475:
476: > MANPREFIX=${PKGMANDIR}
477:
478: so pkgsrc can install the program's files in the right place. We
479: have two ways of modifying this file, either patch the Makefile or
480: use `sed` substitution which is a builtin pkgsrc feature that allows
481: you to change lines in files with a sed command before building the
482: port.
483:
484: I will show how to do both ways so you can get an introduction on
485: how to generate patch files for pkgsrc.
486:
487: #### patching the Makefile :
488:
489: - edit the file you need to modify with `pkgvi`:
490:
491:
492: $ pkgvi /pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/2bwm-0.1/Makefile
493:
494: which should return:
495:
496: > pkgvi: File was modified. For a diff, type:
497: pkgdiff "/Volumes/Backup/pkgsrc/work/wm/2bwm/work/2bwm-0.1/Makefile"
498:

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

548:
549: You should be able to fix the prefix error much quicker than with
550: the patching explained above thanks to the sed substitution framework.

559: SUBST_SED.makefile+= -e 's,share/man,${PKGMANDIR},g'
560: """]]
561:
562: As you can see, you can do multiple commands on multiple files, it
563: is very useful for very small fixes like this.
564:
565:
566: #### pkglint
567:
568: Now that we have a working port, we must make sure it complies to the pkgsrc rules.
569:
570: $ pkglint
571:
572: Returns
573:
574: ERROR: DESCR:4: File must end with a newline.

577:
578: Fix the things pkglint tells you to do until you get the glorious:
579:
580: > looks fine.
581:
582: Then you should do some testing on the program itelf on at least
583: two platforms such as NetBSD, Mac OS X. Other platforms supported
584: by pkgsrc can be found at [pkgsrc.org](http://pkgsrc.org). If you
585: would like to submit your pkgsrc upstream you can either subscribe
586: to pkgsrc-wip or ask a NetBSD developer to add it for you.
587:
588: You can find the 2bwm port I submitted in
589: [pkgsrc-wip](http://pkgsrc-wip.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pkgsrc-wip/wip/2bwm/).
590:
591:
592: ## pkgsrc and wip
593:
594: If you want to submit your port for others to use you can either
595: subscribe to pkgsrc-wip or ask a NetBSD developer to add it for you.
596:
597: pkgsrc-wip is hosted on
598: [sourceforge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgsrc-wip/) and you
599: can easily get cvs access to it if you create an account on there
600: and send an email to NetBSD developer `@wiz` (Thomas Klausner)
601: asking nicely for commit access.
602:
603:
604: ## the options framework
605:
606: You can create port options with the `options.mk` file, like for `wm/dwm`

645: These options are enabled by default:
646: xinerama

648: These options are currently enabled:

650:
651: You can select which build options to use by setting PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
652: or PKG_OPTIONS.dwm.
653:
654: Running `make PKG_OPTIONS=""` should build without the `xinerama` dwm option enabled by default.
655:
656: The options.mk file must contain these variables:
657:
658: - `PKG_OPTIONS_VAR` sets the options variable name
659: - `PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS` lists all available options
660: - `PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS` lists options enabled by default

665: ## hosting a package repo
666:
667: Now that you've created a few ports, you might want to make precompiled
668: packages available for testing. You will need pkgsrc's `pkg_install`
669: on the host system. I host my [packages](http://pkgsrc.saveosx.org/)
670: on a FreeBSD server with a bootstrapped pkgsrc.

742:
743:
744: ## faq
745:
746: #### what if the port I'm making is a dependency for another one?
747:
748: You should just generate the buildlink3.mk file we've talked about
749: earlier like this:
750:
751: $ createbuildlink > buildlink3.mk
752:
753: #### what if the program is only hosted on GitHub ?
754:
755: pkgsrc supports fetching archives from specific git commits on
756: GitHub like this:
757: [[!format make """

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

835: - If you have a feeling a port is stuck in the building stage,
836: disable make jobs in your mk.conf
