The build process
Introduction
This chapter gives a detailed description on how a package is
built. Building a package is separated into different
phases (for example fetch,
build, install), all of which are
described in the following sections. Each phase is split into
so-called stages, which take the name of the
containing phase, prefixed by one of pre-,
do- or post-. (Examples are
pre-configure, post-build.) Most
of the actual work is done in the do-* stages.
Never override the regular targets (like
fetch), if you have to, override the
do-* ones instead.
The basic steps for building a program are always the same. First
the program's source (distfile) must be brought to
the local system and then extracted. After any pkgsrc-specific patches
to compile properly are applied, the software can be configured, then
built (usually by compiling), and finally the generated binaries, etc.
can be put into place on the system.
To get more details about what is happening at each step,
you can set the PKG_VERBOSE variable, or the
PATCH_DEBUG variable if you are just interested
in more details about the patch step.
Program location
Before outlining the process performed by the &os; package system in
the next section, here's a brief discussion on where programs are
installed, and which variables influence this.
The automatic variable PREFIX indicates
where all files of the final program shall be installed. It is
usually set to LOCALBASE
(/usr/pkg), or CROSSBASE
for pkgs in the cross category. The value of
PREFIX needs to be put
into the various places in the program's source where paths to
these files are encoded. See and for more details.
When choosing which of these variables to use,
follow the following rules:
PREFIX always points to the location
where the current pkg will be installed. When referring to a
pkg's own installation path, use
${PREFIX}
.
LOCALBASE is where all pkgs
are installed. If you need to construct a -I or -L argument
to the compiler to find includes and libraries installed by
another pkg, use ${LOCALBASE}
. The name
LOCALBASE stems from FreeBSD, which
installed all packages in /usr/local. As
pkgsrc leaves /usr/local for the system
administrator, this variable is a misnomer.
X11BASE is where the actual X11
distribution (from xsrc, etc.) is installed. When looking for
standard X11 includes (not those
installed by a package), use ${X11BASE}
.
X11-based packages using imake must set
USE_IMAKE to be installed correctly under
LOCALBASE.
Within ${PREFIX}, packages should
install files according to &man.hier.7;, with the exception that
manual pages go into ${PREFIX}/man, not
${PREFIX}/share/man.
Directories used during the build process
When building a package, various directories are used to store
source files, temporary files, pkgsrc-internal files, and so on. These
directories are explained here.
Some of the directory variables contain relative pathnames. There
are two common base directories for these relative directories:
PKGSRCDIR/PKGPATH is used for directories that are
pkgsrc-specific. WRKSRC is used for directories
inside the package itself.
PKGSRCDIR
This is an absolute pathname that points to the pkgsrc
root directory. Generally, you don't need
it.
PKGDIR
This is an absolute pathname that points to the
current package.
PKGPATH
This is a pathname relative to
PKGSRCDIR that points to the current package.
It is defined after including bsd.prefs.mk
and can be used in makefile fragments that are used by several
packages to distinguish between these packages. Other variables
that would serve the same purpose are PKGBASE
and PKGNAME, but these are only defined after
including bsd.pkg.mk, which is too
late.
In &mk.conf;, the pkgsrc user can use
PKGPATH to tweak variables like
MAKE_JOBS and
CFLAGS.
WRKDIR
This is an absolute pathname pointing to the directory
where all work takes place. The distfiles are extracted to this
directory. It also contains temporary directories and log files used by
the various pkgsrc frameworks, like buildlink or
the wrappers.
WRKSRC
This is an absolute pathname pointing to the directory
where the distfiles are extracted. It is usually a direct subdirectory
of WRKDIR, and often it's the only directory entry
that isn't hidden. This variable may be changed by a package
Makefile.
The CREATE_WRKDIR_SYMLINK definition takes either
the value yes or no and defaults
to no. It indicates whether a symbolic link to the
WRKDIR is to be created in the pkgsrc entry's directory.
If users would like to have their pkgsrc trees behave in a
read-only manner, then the value of
CREATE_WRKDIR_SYMLINK should be set to
no.
Running a phase
You can run a particular phase by typing make
phase, where
phase is the name of the phase. This will
automatically run all phases that are required for this phase. The
default phase is build, that is, when you run
make without parameters in a package directory,
the package will be built, but not installed.
The fetch phase
The first step in building a package is to fetch the
distribution files (distfiles) from the sites that are providing
them. This is the task of the fetch
phase.
What to fetch and where to get it from
In simple cases, MASTER_SITES
defines all URLs from where the distfile, whose name is
derived from the DISTNAME variable, is
fetched. The more complicated cases are described
below.
The variable DISTFILES specifies
the list of distfiles that have to be fetched. Its value
defaults to ${DEFAULT_DISTFILES} and
its value is ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX},
so that most packages don't need to define it at all.
EXTRACT_SUFX is
.tar.gz by default, but can be changed
freely. Note that if your package requires additional
distfiles to the default one, you cannot just append the
additional filenames using the +=
operator, but you have write for example:
DISTFILES= ${DEFAULT_DISTFILES} additional-files.tar.gz
Each distfile is fetched from a list of sites, usually
MASTER_SITES. If the package has multiple
DISTFILES or multiple
PATCHFILES from different sites, you can
set
SITES.distfile
to the list of URLs where the file
distfile
(including the suffix) can be found.
DISTFILES= ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}
DISTFILES+= foo-file.tar.gz
SITES.foo-file.tar.gz= \
https://www.somewhere.com/somehow/ \
https://www.somewhereelse.com/mirror/somehow/
When actually fetching the distfiles, each item from
MASTER_SITES or
SITES.* gets the name of each distfile
appended to it, without an intermediate slash. Therefore,
all site values have to end with a slash or other separator
character. This allows for example to set
MASTER_SITES to a URL of a CGI script
that gets the name of the distfile as a parameter. In this
case, the definition would look like:
MASTER_SITES= https://www.example.com/download.cgi?file=
The exception to this rule are URLs starting with a dash.
In that case the URL is taken as is, fetched and the result
stored under the name of the distfile. You can use this style
for the case when the download URL style does not match the
above common case. For example, if permanent download URL is a
redirector to the real download URL, or the download file name
is offered by an HTTP Content-Disposition header. In the
following example, foo-1.0.0.tar.gz will be
created instead of the default
v1.0.0.tar.gz.
DISTNAME= foo-1.0.0
MASTER_SITES= -https://www.example.com/archive/v1.0.0.tar.gz
There are some predefined values for
MASTER_SITES, which can be used in
packages. The names of the variables should speak for
themselves.
@@master_sites@@
Some explanations for the less self-explaining ones:
MASTER_SITE_BACKUP contains backup sites
for packages that are maintained in . MASTER_SITE_LOCAL contains local
package source distributions that are maintained in .
If you choose one of these predefined sites, you may
want to specify a subdirectory of that site. Since these
macros may expand to more than one actual site, you
must use the following construct to
specify a subdirectory:
MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_GNU:=subdirectory/name/}
MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE:=project_name/}
Note the trailing slash after the subdirectory
name.
How are the files fetched?
The fetch phase makes sure that
all the distfiles exist in a local directory
(DISTDIR, which can be set by the pkgsrc
user). If the files do not exist, they are fetched using
commands of the form
${FETCH_CMD} ${FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS} ${site}${file} ${FETCH_AFTER_ARGS}
where ${site} varies through
several possibilities in turn: first,
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE is tried, then the
sites specified in either SITES.file if
defined, else MASTER_SITES or
PATCH_SITES, as applies, then finally the
value of MASTER_SITE_BACKUP. The order of
all except the first and the last can be optionally sorted
by the user, via setting either
MASTER_SORT_RANDOM, and
MASTER_SORT_AWK or
MASTER_SORT_REGEX.
The specific command and arguments used depend on the
FETCH_USING parameter. The example above is
for FETCH_USING=custom.
The distfiles mirror run by the NetBSD Foundation uses the
mirror-distfiles target to mirror the
distfiles, if they are freely distributable. Packages setting
NO_SRC_ON_FTP (usually to
${RESTRICTED}
) will not have their distfiles
mirrored.
The checksum phase
After the distfile(s) are fetched, their checksum is
generated and compared with the checksums stored in the
distinfo file. If the checksums don't match, the build is
aborted. This is to ensure the same distfile is used for
building, and that the distfile wasn't changed, e.g. by some
malign force, deliberately changed distfiles on the master
distribution site or network lossage.
The patch phase
After extraction, all the patches named by the
PATCHFILES, those present in the patches
subdirectory of the package as well as in
$LOCALPATCHES/$PKGPATH (e.g.
/usr/local/patches/graphics/png) are
applied. Patchfiles ending in .Z or
.gz are uncompressed before they are
applied, files ending in .orig or
.rej are ignored. Any special options to
&man.patch.1; can be handed in
PATCH_DIST_ARGS. See for more details.
By default &man.patch.1; is given special arguments to make it
fail if the expected text from the patch context is not found in the
patched file. If that happens, fix the patch file by comparing it
with the actual text in the file to be patched.
The tools phase
This is covered in .
The wrapper phase
This phase creates wrapper programs for the compilers and
linkers. The following variables can be used to tweak the
wrappers.
ECHO_WRAPPER_MSG
The command used to print progress
messages. Does nothing by default. Set to
${ECHO} to see the progress
messages.
WRAPPER_DEBUG
This variable can be set to
yes (default) or no,
depending on whether you want additional information in the
wrapper log file.
WRAPPER_UPDATE_CACHE
This variable can be set to
yes or no, depending
on whether the wrapper should use its cache, which will
improve the speed. The default value is
yes, but is forced to
no if the platform does not support
it.
WRAPPER_REORDER_CMDS
A list of reordering commands. A reordering
command has the form
reorder:l:lib1:lib2.
It ensures that that
-llib1 occurs
before -llib2.
The configure phase
Most pieces of software need information on the header
files, system calls, and library routines which are available
on the platform they run on. The process of determining this
information is known as configuration, and is usually
automated. In most cases, a script is supplied with the
distfiles, and its invocation results in generation of header
files, Makefiles, etc.
If the package contains a configure script, this can be
invoked by setting HAS_CONFIGURE to
yes
. If the configure script is a GNU autoconf
script, you should set GNU_CONFIGURE to
yes
instead.
In the do-configure stage, a rough
equivalent of the following command is run. See
mk/configure/configure.mk, target
do-configure-script for the exact
definition.
.for dir in ${CONFIGURE_DIRS}
cd ${WRKSRC} && cd ${dir} \
&& env ${CONFIGURE_ENV} \
${CONFIG_SHELL} ${CONFIGURE_SCRIPT} ${CONFIGURE_ARGS}
.endfor
CONFIGURE_DIRS (default:
.
) is a list of pathnames relative to
WRKSRC. In each of these directories, the
configure script is run with the environment
CONFIGURE_ENV and arguments
CONFIGURE_ARGS. The variables
CONFIGURE_ENV,
CONFIGURE_SCRIPT (default:
./configure
) and
CONFIGURE_ARGS may all be changed by the
package.
If the program uses the Perl way of configuration (mainly Perl
modules, but not only), i.e. a file called
Makefile.PL, it should include
../../lang/perl5/module.mk. To set any parameter for
Makefile.PL use the MAKE_PARAMS
variable (e.g., MAKE_PARAMS+=foo=bar
If the program uses an Imakefile
for configuration, the appropriate steps can be invoked by
setting USE_IMAKE to
yes
. If you only need xmkmf, add it to USE_TOOLS.
You can add variables to xmkmf's environment by adding them to the
SCRIPTS_ENV variable.
If the program uses cmake
for configuration, the appropriate steps can be invoked by
including ../../devel/cmake/build.mk.
You can add variables to cmake's environment by adding them to the
CONFIGURE_ENV variable and arguments to cmake
by adding them to the CMAKE_CONFIGURE_ARGS variable.
If you want to add arguments only for particular stages, you can use the
CMAKE_CONFIGURE_ARGS,
CMAKE_BUILD_ARGS, and
CMAKE_INSTALL_ARGS variables.
You can set the CONFIGURE_DIRS variable to the
directories in which CMake should be run, relative to
WRKSRC. This defaults to to .
.
Any package using the now-deprecated
USE_CMAKE=yes should be converted.
Essentially, replace with an include of
../../devel/cmake/build.mk, prune creation of a build
directory and settings to use it, and check/fix settings that
intend to perform the build in a subdirectory.
If there is no configure step at all, set
NO_CONFIGURE to yes
.
The build phase
For building a package, a rough equivalent of the following
code is executed; see mk/build/build.mk, target
do-build for the exact definition.
.for dir in ${BUILD_DIRS}
cd ${WRKSRC} && cd ${dir} \
&& env ${MAKE_ENV} \
${MAKE_PROGRAM} ${MAKE_FLAGS} ${BUILD_MAKE_FLAGS} \
-f ${MAKE_FILE} \
${BUILD_TARGET}
.endfor
BUILD_DIRS (default:
.
) is a list of pathnames relative to
WRKSRC. In each of these directories,
MAKE_PROGRAM is run with the environment
MAKE_ENV and arguments
BUILD_MAKE_FLAGS. The variables
MAKE_ENV,
BUILD_MAKE_FLAGS,
MAKE_FILE and
BUILD_TARGET may all be changed by the
package.
The default value of MAKE_PROGRAM is
gmake
if USE_TOOLS contains
gmake
, make
otherwise. The
default value of MAKE_FILE is
Makefile
, and BUILD_TARGET
defaults to all
.
If there is no build step at all, set
NO_BUILD to yes
.
The test phase
The test phase is for running a program's self
tests. Dependencies that are only required for testing can be
specified using TEST_DEPENDS.
For packages using &man.make.1; for building, you can set
TEST_TARGET. Often, the proper value is
check
or test
. If more elaborate
steps are needed, you can define a do-test
target.
To run the tests, call make test
.
When building a package, the tests are not run
automatically, except if PKGSRC_RUN_TEST is set
to yes
.
The install phase
Once the build stage has completed, the final step is to
install the software in public directories, so users can
access the programs and files.
In the install phase, a rough equivalent
of the following code is executed; see
mk/install/install.mk, target
do-install for the exact definition. Additionally,
before and after this code, several consistency checks are run
against the files-to-be-installed, see
mk/check/*.mk for details.
.for dir in ${INSTALL_DIRS}
cd ${WRKSRC} && cd ${dir} \
&& env ${INSTALL_ENV} ${MAKE_ENV} \
${MAKE_PROGRAM} ${MAKE_FLAGS} ${INSTALL_MAKE_FLAGS} \
-f ${MAKE_FILE} ${INSTALL_TARGET}
.endfor
The variable's meanings are analogous to the ones in the
build phase.
INSTALL_DIRS defaults to
BUILD_DIRS. INSTALL_TARGET
is install
by default, plus
install.man
if USE_IMAKE is
defined and NO_INSTALL_MANPAGES is not
defined.
In the install phase, the following
variables are useful. They are all variations of the
&man.install.1; command that have the owner, group and
permissions preset. INSTALL is the plain
install command. The specialized variants, together with their
intended use, are:
INSTALL_PROGRAM_DIR
directories that contain
binaries
INSTALL_SCRIPT_DIR
directories that contain
scripts
INSTALL_LIB_DIR
directories that contain shared and static
libraries
INSTALL_DATA_DIR
directories that contain data
files
INSTALL_MAN_DIR
directories that contain man
pages
INSTALL_GAME_DIR
directories that contain data files for games
INSTALL_PROGRAM
binaries that can be stripped from debugging
symbols
INSTALL_SCRIPT
binaries that cannot be
stripped
INSTALL_GAME
game
binaries
INSTALL_LIB
shared and static
libraries
INSTALL_DATA
data files
INSTALL_GAME_DATA
data files for
games
INSTALL_MAN
man pages
Some other variables are:
INSTALL_UNSTRIPPED
If set to yes, do not run &man.strip.1;
when installing binaries. Any debugging sections and symbols present in
binaries will be preserved.
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.
In the rare cases that a package shouldn't install anything,
set NO_INSTALL to yes
. This is
mostly relevant for packages in the regress
category.
The package phase
Once the install stage has completed, a binary package of
the installed files can be built. These binary packages can be
used for quick installation without previous compilation, e.g. by
the make bin-install or by using
pkg_add.
By default, the binary packages are created in
${PACKAGES}/All and symlinks are created in
${PACKAGES}/category,
one for each category in the CATEGORIES
variable. PACKAGES defaults to
pkgsrc/packages.
Cleaning up
Once you're finished with a package, you can clean the work
directory by running make clean. If you want
to clean the work directories of all dependencies too, use
make clean-depends.
Other helpful targets
pre/post-*
For any of the main targets described in the previous
section (configure, build, install, etc.), two auxiliary
targets exist with
pre-
and post-
used as a
prefix for the main target's name. These targets are
invoked before and after the main target is called,
allowing extra configuration or installation steps be
performed from a package's Makefile, for example, which
a program's configure script or install target
omitted.
About 5% of the pkgsrc packages define their custom
post-extract target, another 5% define pre-configure, and 10%
define post-install. The other pre/post-* targets are defined
even less often.
do-*
Should one of the main targets do the wrong thing,
and should there be no variable to fix this, you can
redefine it with the do-* target. (Note that redefining
the target itself instead of the do-* target is a bad
idea, as the pre-* and post-* targets won't be called
anymore, etc.)
About 15% of the pkgsrc packages override the default
do-install, the other do-* targets are overridden even less
often.
reinstall
If you did a make install and
you noticed some file was not installed properly, you
can repeat the installation with this target, which will
ignore the already installed
flag.
This is the default value of
DEPENDS_TARGET except in the case of
make update and make
package, where the defaults are
package
and update
,
respectively.
deinstall
This target does a &man.pkg.delete.1; in the
current directory, effectively de-installing the
package. The following variables can be used to tune the
behaviour:
PKG_VERBOSE
Add a "-v" to the &man.pkg.delete.1; command.
DEINSTALLDEPENDS
Remove all packages that require (depend on)
the given package. This can be used to remove any
packages that may have been pulled in by a given
package, e.g. if make deinstall
DEINSTALLDEPENDS=1 is done in
pkgsrc/x11/kde, this is
likely to remove whole KDE. Works by adding
-R
to the &man.pkg.delete.1;
command line.
bin-install
Install a binary package from local disk and via FTP
from a list of sites (see the
BINPKG_SITES variable), and do a
make package if no binary package is
available anywhere. The arguments given to
pkg_add can be set via
BIN_INSTALL_FLAGS e.g., to do verbose
operation, etc.
install-clean
This target removes the state files for the "install" and later
phases so that the "install" target may be re-invoked. This can be
used after editing the PLIST to install the package without
rebuilding it.
build-clean
This target removes the state files for the "build" and later
phases so that the "build" target may be re-invoked.
update
This target causes the current package to be
updated to the latest version. The package and all
depending packages first get de-installed, then current
versions of the corresponding packages get compiled and
installed. This is similar to manually noting which
packages are currently installed, then performing a
series of make deinstall and
make install (or whatever
UPDATE_TARGET is set to) for these
packages.
You can use the update
target to
resume package updating in case a previous make
update was interrupted for some reason.
However, in this case, make sure you don't call
make clean or otherwise remove the
list of dependent packages in WRKDIR.
Otherwise, you lose the ability to automatically update
the current package along with the dependent packages
you have installed.
Resuming an interrupted make
update will only work as long as the package
tree remains unchanged. If the source code for one of
the packages to be updated has been changed, resuming
make update will most certainly
fail!
The following variables can be used either on the
command line or in &mk.conf; to
alter the behaviour of make
update:
UPDATE_TARGET
Install target to recursively use for the
updated package and the dependent packages.
Defaults to DEPENDS_TARGET if
set, install
otherwise for
make update. Other good
targets are package
or
bin-install
. Do not set this to
update
or you will get stuck in an
endless loop!
NOCLEAN
Don't clean up after updating. Useful if
you want to leave the work sources of the updated
packages around for inspection or other purposes.
Be sure you eventually clean up the source tree
(see the clean-update
target below)
or you may run into troubles with old source code
still lying around on your next
make or make
update.
REINSTALL
Deinstall each package before installing
(making DEPENDS_TARGET). This
may be necessary if the
clean-update
target (see below) was
called after interrupting a running make
update.
DEPENDS_TARGET
Allows you to disable recursion and hardcode
the target for packages. The default is
update
for the update target,
facilitating a recursive update of prerequisite
packages. Only set
DEPENDS_TARGET if you want to
disable recursive updates. Use
UPDATE_TARGET instead to just
set a specific target for each package to be
installed during make update
(see above).
clean-update
Clean the source tree for all packages that would
get updated if make update was called
from the current directory. This target should not be
used if the current package (or any of its depending
packages) have already been de-installed (e.g., after
calling make update) or you may lose
some packages you intended to update. As a rule of
thumb: only use this target before
the first time you run make update
and only if you have a dirty package tree (e.g., if you
used NOCLEAN).
If you are unsure about whether your tree is
clean, you can either perform a make
clean at the top of the tree, or use the
following sequence of commands from the directory of the
package you want to update (before
running make update for the first
time, otherwise you lose all the packages you wanted to
update!):
&rprompt; make clean-update
&rprompt; make clean CLEANDEPENDS=YES
&rprompt; make update
The following variables can be used either on the
command line or in &mk.conf; to alter the behaviour of
make clean-update:
CLEAR_DIRLIST
After make clean, do not
reconstruct the list of directories to update for
this package. Only use this if make
update successfully installed all
packages you wanted to update. Normally, this is
done automatically on make
update, but may have been suppressed by
the NOCLEAN variable (see
above).
replace
Update the installation of the current package. This
differs from update in that it does not replace dependent
packages. You will need to install pkgtools/pkg_tarup for this
target to work.
Be careful when using this
target! There are no guarantees that dependent
packages will still work, in particular they will most
certainly break if you make replace a
library package whose shared library major version changed
between your installed version and the new one. For this
reason, this target is not officially supported and only
recommended for advanced users.
info
This target invokes &man.pkg.info.1; for the current
package. You can use this to check which version of a
package is installed.
index
This is a top-level command, i.e. it should be used in
the pkgsrc directory. It creates a
database of all packages in the local pkgsrc tree, including
dependencies, comment, maintainer, and some other useful
information. Individual entries are created by running
make describe in the packages'
directories. This index file is saved as
pkgsrc/INDEX. It can be displayed in
verbose format by running make
print-index. You can search in it with
make search
key=something. You can
extract a list of all packages that depend on a particular
one by running make show-deps
PKG=somepackage.
Running this command takes a very long time, some
hours even on fast machines!
readme
This target generates a
index.html file, which can be
viewed using a browser such as www/firefox or www/links. The generated files
contain references to any packages which are in the
PACKAGES directory on the local
host. The generated files can be made to refer to URLs
based on FTP_PKG_URL_HOST and
FTP_PKG_URL_DIR. For example, if I
wanted to generate index.html
files which pointed to binary packages on the local
machine, in the directory
/usr/packages, set
FTP_PKG_URL_HOST=file://localhost and
FTP_PKG_URL_DIR=/usr/packages. The
${PACKAGES} directory and its
subdirectories will be searched for all the binary
packages.
The target can be run at the toplevel or in category
directories, in which case it descends recursively.
readme-all
This is a top-level command, run it in
pkgsrc. Use this target to create a
file README-all.html which contains a
list of all packages currently available in the &os;
Packages Collection, together with the category they belong
to and a short description. This file is compiled from the
pkgsrc/*/index.html files, so be sure
to run this after a make
readme.
cdrom-readme
This is very much the same as the
readme
target (see above), but is to be
used when generating a pkgsrc tree to be written to a
CD-ROM. This target also produces
index.html files, and can be made
to refer to URLs based on
CDROM_PKG_URL_HOST and
CDROM_PKG_URL_DIR.
show-distfiles
This target shows which distfiles and patchfiles
are needed to build the package
(ALLFILES, which contains all
DISTFILES and
PATCHFILES, but not
patches/*).
show-downlevel
This target shows nothing if the package is not
installed. If a version of this package is installed,
but is not the version provided in this version of
pkgsrc, then a warning message is displayed. This target
can be used to show which of your installed packages are
downlevel, and so the old versions can be deleted, and
the current ones added.
show-pkgsrc-dir
This target shows the directory in the pkgsrc
hierarchy from which the package can be built and
installed. This may not be the same directory as the one
from which the package was installed. This target is
intended to be used by people who may wish to upgrade
many packages on a single host, and can be invoked from
the top-level pkgsrc Makefile by using the
show-host-specific-pkgs
target.
show-installed-depends
This target shows which installed packages match
the current package's DEPENDS. Useful
if out of date dependencies are causing build
problems.
print-build-depends-list
This target shows the list of packages that the current package
depends on for building.
print-run-depends-list
This target shows the list of packages that the current package
depends on for running.
check-shlibs
After a package is installed, check all its
binaries and (on ELF platforms) shared libraries to see
if they find the shared libs they need. Run by default
if PKG_DEVELOPER is set in &mk.conf;.
print-PLIST
After a make install
from a new or
upgraded pkg, this prints out an attempt to generate a
new PLIST from a find
-newer work/.extract_done. An attempt is made
to care for shared libs etc., but it is
strongly recommended to review the
result before putting it into
PLIST. On upgrades, it's useful to
diff the output of this command against an already
existing PLIST file.
If the package installs files via &man.tar.1; or
other methods that don't update file access times, be
sure to add these files manually to your
PLIST, as the find
-newer
command used by this target won't catch
them!
See for more
information on this target.
rebuild
If you did a make build and you
noticed some further modifications of sources are needed,
you can repeat the build with this target, which will ignore
the already built
flag. This target is
helpful while working with patches.
repackage
If you did a make package and you
noticed some further modifications of sources are needed,
you can repeat the package with this target, which will ignore
the already packaged
flag. This target is
helpful while working with patches, PLIST* files etc.
retest
If you did a make test and you
noticed some further modifications of sources are needed,
you can repeat the test with this target, which will ignore
the already tested
flag. This target is
helpful while working with patches.

@doc/guide: reword paragraph about patches applying cleanly
The previous wording was too easy to get wrong. Applying cleanly mainly
means that the context lines are as expected. In most cases this is good
enough. Having the exact line information would be nice as well, but if
this were crucial, pkgtools/pkgdiff would need to fix this sitation.
Since it doesn't and even states in a comment that it doesn't, the
situation can't be that bad.

bulk-package
Used to do bulk builds. If an appropriate binary
package already exists, no action is taken. If not, this
target will compile, install and package it (and its
depends, if PKG_DEPENDS is set
properly. See ).
After creating the binary package, the sources, the
just-installed package and its required packages are
removed, preserving free disk space.
Beware that this target may deinstall
all packages installed on a system!
bulk-install
Used during bulk-installs to install required
packages. If an up-to-date binary package is available,
it will be installed via &man.pkg.add.1;. If not,
make bulk-package will be executed,
but the installed binary won't be removed.
A binary package is considered
up-to-date
to be installed via
&man.pkg.add.1; if:
None of the package's files
(Makefile, ...) were modified
since it was built.
None of the package's required (binary)
packages were modified since it was built.
Beware that this target may deinstall
all packages installed on a system!

To determine the prefix of an
installed package, the EVAL_PREFIX
definition can be used. It takes pairs in the format
DIRNAME=<package>
, and the &man.make.1;
variable DIRNAME will be set to the prefix
of the installed package <package>, or
${PREFIX}
if the package is not
installed.
This is best illustrated by example.
The following lines are taken from
pkgsrc/wm/scwm/Makefile:
EVAL_PREFIX+= GTKDIR=gtk+
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-guile-prefix=${LOCALBASE:Q}
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-gtk-prefix=${GTKDIR:Q}
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --enable-multibyte
Specific defaults can be defined for the packages
evaluated using EVAL_PREFIX, by using a
definition of the form:
GTKDIR_DEFAULT= ${LOCALBASE}
where GTKDIR corresponds
to the first definition in
the EVAL_PREFIX pair.

X11-based packages are special in that they may be
installed in either X11BASE or
a87 33
Usually, X11 packages should be installed under
LOCALBASE whenever possible. Note that you
will need to include
../../mk/x11.buildlink3.mk in them to
request the presence of X11 and to get the right compilation
flags.
Even though, there are some packages that cannot be installed
under LOCALBASE: those that come with app-defaults
files. These packages are special and they must be placed under
X11BASE. To accomplish this, set either
USE_X11BASE or USE_IMAKE in
your package.
Some notes: If you need
to find includes or libraries installed by a pkg that has
USE_IMAKE or USE_X11BASE in
its pkg Makefile, you need to look in
both ${X11BASE} and
${LOCALBASE}. To force installation of
all X11 packages in LOCALBASE, the
pkgtools/xpkgwedge package
is enabled by default.
X11PREFIX should be used to refer to
the installed location of an X11
package. X11PREFIX will be set to
X11BASE if xpkgwedge is not installed, and
to LOCALBASE if xpkgwedge is
installed.

beginning of the install phase. If
this variable is set,
NO_MTREE=yes
is assumed,
which means that the package claims to create all needed
directories itself before installing files to it. Therefore
this variable should only be set in
Makefiles that are under control of the
package's author. The directories are created with the
correct ownership, depending on their

LOCALBASE is where all non-X11 pkgs are installed.

${LOCALBASE}
. The name
d70 4
a73 4
X11BASE is where the actual X11 distribution (from
xsrc, etc.) is installed. When looking for
standard X11 includes (not
those installed by a pkg), use ${X11BASE}
.
d77 3
a79 2
X11-based packages are special in that they may be installed in
either X11BASE or LOCALBASE.
d82 5
a86 4
LOCALBASE whenever possible. Note that you will
need to include ../../mk/x11.buildlink3.mk
in them to request the
presence of X11 and to get the right compilation flags.
d107 6
a112 4
X11PREFIX should be used to refer to the installed
location of an X11 package. X11PREFIX will be set to
X11BASE if xpkgwedge is not installed,
and to LOCALBASE if xpkgwedge is installed.
d116 10
a125 8
If xpkgwedge is installed, it is possible to have some packages installed
in X11BASE and some in LOCALBASE.
To determine the prefix of an installed package, the
EVAL_PREFIX definition can be used. It takes pairs in the
format DIRNAME=<package>
, and the &man.make.1; variable
DIRNAME will be set to the prefix of the installed
package <package>, or ${X11PREFIX}
if the package is
not installed.
d139 3
a141 2
Specific defaults can be defined for the packages evaluated using
EVAL_PREFIX, by using a definition of the form:
d218 143
a360 440
The first step in building a package is to fetch the
distribution files (distfiles) from the sites that are providing
them. This is the task of the fetch
phase.
What to fetch and where to get it from
In simple cases, MASTER_SITES defines
all URLs from where the distfile, whose name is derived from the
DISTNAME variable, is fetched. The more
complicated cases are described below.
The variable DISTFILES specifies the
list of distfiles that have to be fetched. Its value defaults to
${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}, so that most
packages don't need to define it at all.
EXTRACT_SUFX is .tar.gz by
default, but can be changed freely. Note that if your package
requires additional distfiles to the default one, you cannot
just append the additional filenames using the
+= operator, but you have write for
example:
DISTFILES= ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX} additional-files.tar.gz
Each of the distfiles is fetched from a list of sites,
usually MASTER_SITES. If the package has
multiple DISTFILES or multiple
PATCHFILES from different sites, you can set
SITES.distfile to
the list of URLs where the file
distfile
(including the suffix) can be found.
DISTFILES= ${DISTNAME}${EXTRACT_SUFX}
DISTFILES+= foo-file.tar.gz
SITES.foo-file.tar.gz= \
http://www.somewhere.com/somehow/ \
http://www.somewhereelse.com/mirror/somehow/
When actually fetching the distfiles, each item from
MASTER_SITES or SITES.*
gets the name of each distfile appended to it, without an
intermediate slash. Therefore, all site values have to end with
a slash or other separator character. This allows for example to
set MASTER_SITES to a URL of a CGI script
that gets the name of the distfile as a parameter. In this case,
the definition would look like:
MASTER_SITES= http://www.example.com/download.cgi?file=
There are some predefined values for
MASTER_SITES, which can be used in packages.
The names of the variables should speak for themselves.
${MASTER_SITE_APACHE}
${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP}
${MASTER_SITE_CYGWIN}
${MASTER_SITE_DEBIAN}
${MASTER_SITE_FREEBSD}
${MASTER_SITE_FREEBSD_LOCAL}
${MASTER_SITE_GNOME}
${MASTER_SITE_GNU}
${MASTER_SITE_GNUSTEP}
${MASTER_SITE_IFARCHIVE}
${MASTER_SITE_KDE}
${MASTER_SITE_MOZILLA}
${MASTER_SITE_MYSQL}
${MASTER_SITE_OPENOFFICE}
${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN}
${MASTER_SITE_PGSQL}
${MASTER_SITE_R_CRAN}
${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE}
${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE_JP}
${MASTER_SITE_SUNSITE}
${MASTER_SITE_SUSE}
${MASTER_SITE_TEX_CTAN}
${MASTER_SITE_XCONTRIB}
${MASTER_SITE_XEMACS}
If you choose one of these predefined sites, you may want
to specify a subdirectory of that site. Since these macros may
expand to more than one actual site, you
must use the following construct to specify
a subdirectory:
MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_GNU:=subdirectory/name/}
MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE:=project_name/}
Note the trailing slash after the subdirectory
name.
How are the files fetched?
The fetch phase makes sure that all
the distfiles exist in a local directory
(DISTDIR), which can be set by the pkgsrc
user). If the files do not exist, they are fetched using
commands of the form
${FETCH_CMD} ${FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS} ${site}${file} ${FETCH_AFTER_ARGS}
where ${site} varies through several
possibilities in turn: first,
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE is tried, then the sites
specified in either SITES.file if defined,
else MASTER_SITES or
PATCH_SITES, as applies, then finally the
value of MASTER_SITE_BACKUP. The order of all
except the first can be optionally sorted by the user, via
setting either MASTER_SORT_AWK or
MASTER_SORT_REGEX.
The checksum phase
After the distfile(s) are fetched, their checksum is generated and
compared with the checksums stored in the distinfo file. If the
checksums don't match, the build is aborted. This is to ensure the same
distfile is used for building, and that the distfile wasn't changed,
e.g. by some malign force, deliberately changed distfiles on the master
distribution site or network lossage.
The patch phase
After extraction, all the patches named by the
PATCHFILES, those present in the patches
subdirectory of the package as well as in $LOCALPATCHES/$PKGPATH (e.g.
/usr/local/patches/graphics/png) are applied.
Patchfiles ending in .Z or
.gz are uncompressed before they are applied,
files ending in .orig or
.rej are ignored. Any special options to &man.patch.1;
can be handed in PATCH_DIST_ARGS.
See for more details.
By default &man.patch.1; is given special args to make it fail if the
patches apply with some lines of fuzz. Please fix (regen) the patches
so that they apply cleanly. The rationale behind this is that
patches that don't apply cleanly may end up being applied in the wrong
place, and cause severe harm there.
The tools phase
This is covered in
.
The wrapper phase
This phase creates wrapper programs for the compilers and
linkers. The following variables can be used to tweak the
wrappers.
ECHO_WRAPPER_MSG
The command used to print progress
messages. Does nothing by default. Set to
${ECHO} to see the progress
messages.
WRAPPER_DEBUG
This variable can be set to
yes (default) or
no, depending on whether you want
additional information in the wrapper log
file.
WRAPPER_UPDATE_CACHE
This variable can be set to
yes or no,
depending on whether the wrapper should use its cache,
which will improve the speed. The default value is
yes, but is forced to
no if the platform does not support
it.
WRAPPER_REORDER_CMDS
A list of reordering commands. A
reordering command has the form
reorder:l:lib1:lib2.
It ensures that that
-llib1
occurs before
-llib2.
WRAPPER_TRANSFORM_CMDS
A list of transformation commands. [TODO:
investigate further]
The configure phase
Most pieces of software need information on the header files,
system calls, and library routines which are available on the platform
they run on. The process of determining this information is known as
configuration, and is usually automated. In most cases, a script is
supplied with the distfiles, and its invocation results in generation of
header files, Makefiles, etc.
If the package contains a configure script, this can be invoked by
setting HAS_CONFIGURE to yes
. If the
configure script is a GNU autoconf script, you should set
GNU_CONFIGURE to yes
instead. What
happens in the configure phase is roughly:
.for d in ${CONFIGURE_DIRS}
cd ${WRKSRC} && cd ${d} && env ${CONFIGURE_ENV} \
${CONFIGURE_SCRIPT} ${CONFIGURE_ARGS}
.endfor
CONFIGURE_DIRS (default: .
) is a
list of pathnames relative to WRKSRC. In each of
these directories, the configure script is run with the environment
CONFIGURE_ENV and arguments
CONFIGURE_ARGS. The variables
CONFIGURE_ENV, CONFIGURE_SCRIPT
(default: ./configure
) and
CONFIGURE_ARGS may all be changed by the
package.
If the program uses an Imakefile for
configuration, the appropriate steps can be invoked by setting
USE_IMAKE to yes
. (If you only want
the package installed in ${X11PREFIX} but xmkmf not
being run, set USE_X11BASE instead.)
The build phase
For building a package, a rough equivalent of the following code
is executed.
.for d in ${BUILD_DIRS}
cd ${WRKSRC} && cd ${d} && env ${MAKE_ENV} \
${MAKE_PROGRAM} ${BUILD_MAKE_FLAGS} \
-f ${MAKE_FILE} ${BUILD_TARGET}
.endfor
BUILD_DIRS (default: .
) is a
list of pathnames relative to WRKSRC. In each of
these directories, MAKE_PROGRAM is run with the
environment MAKE_ENV and arguments
BUILD_MAKE_FLAGS. The variables
MAKE_ENV, BUILD_MAKE_FLAGS,
MAKE_FILE and BUILD_TARGET may all
be changed by the package.
The default value of MAKE_PROGRAM is
gmake
if USE_TOOLS contains
gmake
, make
otherwise. The default value
of MAKE_FILE is Makefile
, and
BUILD_TARGET defaults to all
.
The test phase
[TODO]
The install phase
Once the build stage has completed, the final step is to
install the software in public directories, so users can access
the programs and files.
In the install phase, a rough
equivalent of the following code is executed. Additionally,
before and after this code, much magic is performed to do
consistency checks, registering the package, and so on.
.for d in ${INSTALL_DIRS}
cd ${WRKSRC} && cd ${d} && env ${MAKE_ENV} \
${MAKE_PROGRAM} ${INSTALL_MAKE_FLAGS} \
-f ${MAKE_FILE} ${BUILD_TARGET}
.endfor
The variable's meanings are analogous to the ones in the
build phase.
INSTALL_DIRS defaults to
BUILD_DIRS. INSTALL_TARGET
is install
by default, plus
install.man
if USE_IMAKE is
defined.
In the install phase, the following
variables are useful. They are all variations of the
&man.install.1; command that have the owner, group and
permissions preset. INSTALL is the plain
install command. The specialized variants, together with their
intended use, are:
INSTALL_PROGRAM_DIR
directories that contain binaries
INSTALL_SCRIPT_DIR
directories that contain scripts
INSTALL_LIB_DIR
directories that contain shared and static libraries
INSTALL_DATA_DIR
directories that contain data files
INSTALL_MAN_DIR
directories that contain man pages
INSTALL_PROGRAM
binaries that can be stripped from debugging symbols
INSTALL_SCRIPT
binaries that cannot be stripped
INSTALL_GAME
game binaries
INSTALL_LIB
shared and static libraries
INSTALL_DATA
data files
INSTALL_GAME_DATA
data files for games
INSTALL_MAN
man pages
Some other variables are:
INSTALLATION_DIRS
A list of directories relative to
PREFIX that are created by pkgsrc at
the beginning of the install phase.
If this variable is set,
NO_MTREE=yes
is
assumed, which means that the package claims to create
all needed directories itself before installing files to
it. Therefore this variable should only be set in
Makefiles that are under control of
the package's author. The directories are created with
the correct ownership, depending on their
name.

For any of the main targets described in the previous
section, two auxiliary targets exist with
d746 5
a750 4
invoked before and after the main target is called, allowing
extra configuration or installation steps be performed from
a package's Makefile, for example, which a program's
configure script or install target omitted.
d758 7
a764 6
Should one of the main targets do the wrong thing, and
should there be no variable to fix this, you can redefine it
with the do-* target. (Note that redefining the target
itself instead of the do-* target is a bad idea, as the
pre-* and post-* targets won't be called anymore, etc.) You
will not usually need to do this.
d772 11
a782 4
If you did a make install and you
noticed some file was not installed properly, you can repeat
the installation with this target, which will ignore the
already installed
flag.
d790 4
a793 3
This target does a &man.pkg.delete.1; in the current directory,
effectively de-installing the package. The following variables can
be used to tune the behaviour:
d808 4
a811 3
Remove all packages that require (depend on) the given package.
This can be used to remove any packages that may have been pulled in
by a given package, e.g. if make deinstall
d813 4
a816 2
pkgsrc/x11/kde, this is likely to remove whole
KDE. Works by adding -R
to the &man.pkg.delete.1; command line.
d824 15
d842 32
a873 24
This target causes the current package to be updated to the latest
version. The package and all depending packages first get de-installed,
then current versions of the corresponding packages get compiled and
installed. This is similar to manually noting which packages are
currently installed, then performing a series of make
deinstall and make install (or whatever
UPDATE_TARGET is set to) for these packages.
You can use the update
target to resume package
updating in case a previous make update was interrupted
for some reason. However, in this case, make sure you don't call
make clean or otherwise remove the list of dependent
packages in WRKDIR. Otherwise, you lose the
ability to automatically update the current package along with the
dependent packages you have installed.
Resuming an interrupted make update will only work as
long as the package tree remains unchanged. If the source code for
one of the packages to be updated has been changed, resuming
make update will most certainly fail!
The following variables can be used either on the command line or in
/etc/mk.conf to alter the behaviour of
make update:
d880 9
a888 4
Install target to recursively use for the updated package and the
dependent packages. Defaults to DEPENDS_TARGET if set,
install
otherwise for make update.
e.g. make update UPDATE_TARGET=package
d896 9
a904 6
Don't clean up after updating. Useful if you want to leave the
work sources of the updated packages around for inspection or
other purposes. Be sure you eventually clean up the source
tree (see the clean-update
target below) or you may
run into troubles with old source code still lying around on your
next make or make update.
d912 6
a917 4
Deinstall each package before installing (making
DEPENDS_TARGET). This may be necessary if the
clean-update
target (see below) was called after
interrupting a running make update.
d925 11
a935 7
Allows you to disable recursion and hardcode the target for
packages. The default is update
for the update target,
facilitating a recursive update of prerequisite packages.
Only set DEPENDS_TARGET if you want to disable
recursive updates. Use UPDATE_TARGET instead to just
set a specific target for each package to be installed during
make update (see above).
d946 20
a965 16
Clean the source tree for all packages that would get updated if
make update was called from the current directory.
This target should not be used if the current package (or any of its
depending packages) have already been de-installed (e.g., after calling
make update) or you may lose some packages you intended
to update. As a rule of thumb: only use this target
before the first time you run
make update and only if you have a dirty package tree
(e.g., if you used NOCLEAN).
If you are unsure about whether your tree is clean, you can either
perform a make clean at the top of the tree, or use
the following sequence of commands from the directory of the package
you want to update (before running
make update for the first time, otherwise you lose
all the packages you wanted to update!):
d968 3
a970 3
# make clean-update
# make clean CLEANDEPENDS=YES
# make update
d973 4
a976 3
The following variables can be used either on the command line or in
/etc/mk.conf to alter the behaviour of
make clean-update:
d983 9
a991 6
After make clean, do not reconstruct the list of
directories to update for this package. Only use this if make
update successfully installed all packages you wanted to
update. Normally, this is done automatically on make
update, but may have been suppressed by the
NOCLEAN variable (see above).

This target generates a README.html file, which
can be viewed using a browser such as

The generated files contain references to any
packages which are in the PACKAGES directory on
the local host. The generated files can be made to refer to URLs based on
FTP_PKG_URL_HOST and
FTP_PKG_URL_DIR. For example, if I wanted to generate
README.html files which pointed to binary packages
on the local machine, in the directory
/usr/packages, set
FTP_PKG_URL_HOST=file://localhost and
FTP_PKG_URL_DIR=/usr/packages. The
${PACKAGES} directory and its subdirectories will be
searched for all the binary packages.

the old versions can be deleted, and the current ones added.

Introduction
d9 17
a25 17
This chapter gives a detailed description on how a package is
built. Building a package is separated into different
phases (for example fetch,
build, install), all of which are
described in the following sections. Each phase is splitted into
so-called stages, which take the name of the
containing phase, prefixed by one of pre-,
do- or post-. (Examples are
pre-configure, post-build.) Most
of the actual work is done in the do-* stages.
The basic steps for building a program are always the same. First
the program's source (distfile) must be brought to
the local system and then extracted. After any pkgsrc-specific patches
to compile properly are applied, the software can be configured, then
built (usually by compiling), and finally the generated binaries, etc.
can be put into place on the system.

where all files of the final program shall be installed. It is
usually set to LOCALBASE

for pkgs in the cross
category. The value of
PREFIX needs to be put
into the various places in the program's source where paths to
these files are encoded. See and for more details.

If you need to construct a -I or -L argument to the compiler to find

to find includes or libraries installed by a pkg that has

Directories used during the build process
d166 1
a166 35
When building a package, a number of directories is used to store
source files, temporary files, pkgsrc-internal files, and so on. These
directories are explained here.
Some of the directory variables contain relative pathnames. There
are two common base directories for these relative directories:
PKGSRCDIR/PKGPATH is used for directories that are
pkgsrc-specific. WRKSRC is used for directories
inside the package itself.
PKGSRCDIR
This is an absolute pathname that points to the pkgsrc
root directory. Generally, you don't need
it.
PKGPATH
This is a pathname relative to
PKGSRCDIR that points to the current
package.
WRKDIR
This is an absolute pathname pointing to the directory
where all work takes place. The distfiles are extraced to this
directory. It also contains temporary directories and log files used by
the various pkgsrc frameworks, like buildlink or
the wrappers.
WRKSRC
This is an absolute pathname pointing to the directory
where the distfiles are extracted. It is usually a direct subdirectory
of WRKDIR, and often it's the only directory entry
that isn't hidden. This variable may be changed by a package
Makefile.

You can run a particular phase by typing make

the package will be built, but not installed.

For any of the main targets described in the previous section, two
auxiliary targets exist with pre-
and
post-
used as a prefix
for the main target's name. These targets are invoked before and
after the main target is called, allowing extra configuration or
installation steps be performed from a package's Makefile, for
example, which a program's configure script
or install target omitted.
d686 6
a691 5
Should one of the main targets do the wrong thing, and should there
be no variable to fix this, you can redefine it with the do-*
target. (Note that redefining the target itself instead of the
do-* target is a bad idea, as the pre-* and post-* targets won't be
called anymore, etc.) You will not usually need to do this.

then current versions of the corresponding packages get compiled and

When the distfiles are present on the local system,
they need to be extracted, as they are usually in the form
of some compressed archive format, most commonly
.tar.gz.
If only some of the
distfiles need to be uncompressed, the files to be
uncompressed should be put into
EXTRACT_ONLY.
If the distfiles are not in
.tar.gz format, they can be extracted
by setting either EXTRACT_SUFX, or
EXTRACT_CMD,
EXTRACT_BEFORE_ARGS and
EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS. In the former case,
pkgsrc knows how to extract a number of suffixes
(.tar.gz, .tgz,
.tar.gz2, .tbz,

.shar.gz,
.shar.bz2,

on &os; are applied, the software can be configured, then built
(usually by compiling), and finally the generated binaries, etc. can be

Once configuration has taken place, the software will be built
by invoking $MAKE_PROGRAM on
$MAKEFILE with $BUILD_TARGET as
the target to build. The default MAKE_PROGRAM is
gmake
if USE_TOOLS contains gmake
,
make
otherwise. MAKEFILE is set to

Most pieces of software need information on the header files,
system calls, and library routines which are available in &os;.
This is the process known as configuration, and is usually
automated. In most cases, a script is supplied with the source,
and its invocation results in generation of header files,
Makefiles, etc.
If the program's distfile contains its own configure
script, this can be invoked by setting
HAS_CONFIGURE. If the configure script
is a GNU autoconf script, GNU_CONFIGURE
should be specified instead. In either case, any arguments
to the configure script can be specified in the
CONFIGURE_ARGS variable, and the
configure script's name can be set in
CONFIGURE_SCRIPT if it differs from the
default configure
. Here's an example from
the sysutils/top package:
d339 4

HAS_CONFIGURE= yes
CONFIGURE_SCRIPT= Configure
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= netbsd13

If the program uses an Imakefile for configuration, the appropriate
steps can be invoked by setting USE_IMAKE to

USE_X11BASE instead!)
