Annotation of wikisrc/pkgsrc/mk.conf.mdwn, revision 1.1

1.1     ! mspo        1: **This article is a stub. You can help by editing it.**
        !             2: 
        !             3: The file **mk.conf** is the central configuration file for everything that has to do with building software. It is used by the BSD-style *Makefiles* in */usr/share/mk* and especially by [[pkgsrc/pkgsrc]]. Usually, it is found in the */etc* directory. If it doesn't exist there, feel free to create it.
        !             4: 
        !             5: Because all configuration takes place in a single file, there are some variables so the user can choose different configurations based on whether he is building the base system or packages from pkgsrc. These variables are:
        !             6: 
        !             7: * BSD_PKG_MK: Defined when a pkgsrc package is built.
        !             8: * BUILDING_HTDOCS: Defined when the NetBSD web site is built.
        !             9: * None of the above: When the base system is built. The file /usr/share/mk/bsd.README is a good place to start in this case. 
        !            10: 
        !            11: A typical **mk.conf** file would look like this:
        !            12: <pre><code>
        !            13: # This is /etc/mk.conf
        !            14: #
        !            15: 
        !            16: .if defined(BSD_PKG_MK) || defined(BUILDING_HTDOCS)
        !            17: # The following lines apply to both pkgsrc and htdocs.
        !            18: 
        !            19: #...
        !            20: LOCALBASE=          /usr/pkg
        !            21: #...
        !            22: 
        !            23: .else
        !            24: # The following lines apply to the base system.
        !            25: 
        !            26: WARNS= 4
        !            27: 
        !            28: .endif
        !            29: </code></pre>
