9 makepkg.conf - makepkg configuration file
14 {sysconfdir}/makepkg.conf, ~/.makepkg.conf
19 Configuration options for makekpg are stored in makepkg.conf. This file is
20 sourced, so you can include any special compiler flags you wish to use. This is
21 helpful for building for different architectures, or with different
22 optimizations. However, only the variables described below are exported to the
25 NOTE: This does not guarantee that all package Makefiles will use your exported
26 variables. Some of them are non-standard.
28 The default file is fairly well commented, so it may be easiest to simply
29 follow directions given there for customization.
34 **DLAGENTS=(**\'protocol::/path/to/command [options]' ...**)**::
35 Sets the download agents used to fetch source files specified with a URL in
36 the linkman:PKGBUILD[5] file. Options can be specified for each command as
37 well; the download URL is placed on the end of the command. This is more
38 flexible than the former `FTPAGENT` variable, as any protocol can have a
39 download agent. Several examples are provided in the default makepkg.conf.
40 All instances of `%u` will be replaced with the download URL. If present,
41 instances of `%o` will be replaced with the local filename, plus a ``.part''
42 extension, which allows to do file resumes properly.
45 Specifies your computer architecture; possible values include such things
46 as ``i686'', ``x86_64'', ``ppc'', etc. This should be automatically set on
50 A string such as ``i686-pc-linux-gnu'', do not touch unless you know what
51 you are doing. This can be commented out by most users if desired.
54 Flags used for the C compiler. This is a key part to the use of makepkg.
55 Usually several options are specified, and the most common string resembles
56 something like this: ``-march=i686 -O2 -pipe''. Another useful option may
57 be `-mcpu` in place of `-march`. Read gcc(1) for more details on the wide
58 variety of compiler flags available.
60 **CXXFLAGS=**"cxxflags"::
61 Flags used for the C++ compiler; see CFLAGS for more info.
63 **MAKEFLAGS=**"makeflags"::
64 This is often used to set the number of jobs used, for example, `-j2`.
65 Other flags that make accepts can also be passed.
67 **BUILDENV=(**fakeroot !distcc color !ccache !xdelta**)**::
68 This array contains options that affect the build environment, the defaults
69 are shown here. All options should always be left in the array; to enable
70 or disable an option simply remove or place an ``!'' at the front of the
71 option. Each works as follows:
74 Allow building packages as a non-root user. This is highly recommended.
77 Use the distributed C/C++/ObjC compiler to spread compilation among
78 multiple machines. If this is enabled, `DISTCC_HOSTS` must be specified
82 Colorize output messages, making output easier to read.
85 Use ccache to cache compilation by default. This allows for faster
86 compiles if you are continuously recompiling the same packages. It can
87 be disabled for individual packages by placing `!ccache` in the
88 PKGBUILD options array.
91 Generate an xdelta binary patch from previous to current package. The
92 previous package must be available in the makepkg cache directory for
95 **DISTCC_HOSTS=**"host1 ..."::
96 If using DistCC, this is used to specify a space-delimited list of hosts
97 running in the DistCC cluster. In addition, you will want to modify your
100 **OPTIONS=(**strip docs libtool emptydirs zipman**)**::
101 This array contains options that affect the default packaging. They are
102 equivalent to options that can be placed in the PKGBUILD; the defaults are
103 shown here. All options should always be left in the array; to enable or
104 disable an option simply remove or place an ``!'' at the front of the
105 option. Each works as follows:
108 Strip symbols from binaries and libraries. If you frequently use a
109 debugger on programs or libraries, it may be helpful to disable this
113 Save doc and info directories. If you wish to delete doc and info
114 directories, specify `!docs' in the array.
117 Leave libtool (.la) files in packages. Specify `!libtool' to remove
121 Leave empty directories in packages.
124 Compress man pages with gzip.
126 **INTEGRITY_CHECK=(**check1 ...**)**::
127 File integrity checks to use. Multiple checks may be specified; this
128 affects both generation and checking. The current valid options are:
129 `md5`, `sha1`, `sha256`, `sha384`, and `sha512`.
131 **DOC_DIRS=(**usr/{,share/}{info,doc} ...**)**::
132 If "!docs" is specified in the OPTIONS array, this variable will
133 instruct makepkg where to look to remove docs. If you build packages
134 that are located in opt/, you may need to add the directory to this
135 array. *NOTE:* Do not add the leading slash to the directory name.
137 **STRIP_DIRS=(**bin lib sbin usr/{bin,lib} ...**)**::
138 If "strip" is specified in the OPTIONS array, this variable will
139 instruct makepkg where to look to for files to strip. If you build
140 packages that are located in opt/, you may need to add the directory
141 to this array. *NOTE:* Do not add the leading slash to the directory
144 **PKGDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
145 If this value is not set, packages will by default be placed in the
146 current directory (location of the linkman:PKGBUILD[5]). Many people
147 like to keep all their packages in one place so this option allows
148 this behavior. A common location is ``/home/packages''.
150 **SRCDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
151 If this value is not set, downloaded source files will only be stored
152 in the current directory. Many people like to keep all source files in
153 a central location for easy cleanup, so this path can be set here.
155 **PACKAGER=**"John Doe <john@doe.com>"::
156 This value is used when querying a package to see who was the builder.
157 It is recommended you change this to your name and email address.
159 *BUILDSCRIPT*, *PKGEXT*, *SRCEXT*, *DB_COMPRESSION*, *DB_CHECKSUMS*::
160 Do not touch these unless you know what you are doing.
