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, and any protocol can have a download agent. Several examples are provided
38 in the default makepkg.conf.
40 If present, `%u` will be replaced with the download URL. Otherwise, the
41 download URL will be placed on the end of the command. If present, `%o` will
42 be replaced with the local filename, plus a ``.part'' extension, which allows
43 makepkg to handle resuming file downloads.
46 Specifies your computer architecture; possible values include such things
47 as ``i686'', ``x86_64'', ``ppc'', etc. This should be automatically set on
51 A string such as ``i686-pc-linux-gnu'', do not touch unless you know what
52 you are doing. This can be commented out by most users if desired.
55 Flags used for the C compiler. This is a key part to the use of makepkg.
56 Usually several options are specified, and the most common string resembles
57 something like this: ``-march=i686 -O2 -pipe''. Another useful option may
58 be `-mcpu` in place of `-march`. Read gcc(1) for more details on the wide
59 variety of compiler flags available.
61 **CXXFLAGS=**"cxxflags"::
62 Flags used for the C++ compiler; see CFLAGS for more info.
64 **LDFLAGS=**"ldflags"::
65 Flags used for the linker. Several options may be specified with common
66 usage resembling ``-Wl,--hash-style=gnu''. Read ld(1) for more details on
67 available linker flags.
69 **MAKEFLAGS=**"makeflags"::
70 This is often used to set the number of jobs used, for example, `-j2`.
71 Other flags that make accepts can also be passed.
73 **BUILDENV=(**fakeroot !distcc color !ccache check !sign**)**::
74 This array contains options that affect the build environment, the defaults
75 are shown here. All options should always be left in the array; to enable
76 or disable an option simply remove or place an ``!'' at the front of the
77 option. Each works as follows:
80 Allow building packages as a non-root user. This is highly recommended.
83 Use the distributed C/C++/ObjC compiler to spread compilation among
84 multiple machines. If this is enabled, `DISTCC_HOSTS` must be specified
88 Colorize output messages, making output easier to read.
91 Use ccache to cache compilation by default. This allows for faster
92 compiles if you are continuously recompiling the same packages. It can
93 be disabled for individual packages by placing `!ccache` in the
94 PKGBUILD options array.
97 Run the check() function if present in the PKGBUILD. This can be
98 enabled or disabled for individual packages through the use of
99 makepkg's '\--check' and '\--nocheck' options respectively.
102 Generate a PGP signature file using GnuPG. This will execute `gpg
103 --detach-sign --use-agent` on the built package to generate a detached
104 signature file, using the GPG agent if it is available. The signature
105 file will be the entire filename of the package with a ``.sig''
108 **DISTCC_HOSTS=**"host1 ..."::
109 If using DistCC, this is used to specify a space-delimited list of hosts
110 running in the DistCC cluster. In addition, you will want to modify your
113 **BUILDDIR=**"/path/to/folder"::
114 If this value is not set, packages will by default be built in
115 subdirectories of the directory that makepkg is called from. This
116 option allows setting the build location to another folder.
117 Incorrect use of `$startdir` in a PKGBUILD may cause building with
122 Specify a key to use for gpg signing instead of the default key in the
123 keyring. Can be overridden with makepkg's '\--key' option.
125 **OPTIONS=(**strip docs libtool emptydirs zipman purge !upx**)**::
126 This array contains options that affect the default packaging. They are
127 equivalent to options that can be placed in the PKGBUILD; the defaults are
128 shown here. All options should always be left in the array; to enable or
129 disable an option simply remove or place an ``!'' at the front of the
130 option. Each works as follows:
133 Strip symbols from binaries and libraries. If you frequently use a
134 debugger on programs or libraries, it may be helpful to disable this
138 Save doc directories. If you wish to delete doc directories, specify
139 `!docs` in the array. The directories affected are specified by the
143 Leave libtool (.la) files in packages. Specify `!libtool` to remove
147 Leave empty directories in packages.
150 Compress manual (man and info) pages with gzip. The directories
151 affected are specified by the `MAN_DIRS` variable.
154 Remove files specified by the `PURGE_TARGETS` variable from the
158 Compress binary executable files using UPX. Additional options
159 can be passed to UPX by specifying the `UPXFLAGS` variable.
161 **INTEGRITY_CHECK=(**check1 ...**)**::
162 File integrity checks to use. Multiple checks may be specified; this
163 affects both generation and checking. The current valid options are:
164 `md5`, `sha1`, `sha256`, `sha384`, and `sha512`.
166 **STRIP_BINARIES=**"--strip-all"::
167 Options to be used when stripping binaries. See linkman:strip[1]
170 **STRIP_SHARED=**"--strip-unneeded"::
171 Options to be used when stripping shared libraries. See linkman:strip[1]
174 **STRIP_STATIC=**"--strip-debug"::
175 Options to be used when stripping static libraries. See linkman:strip[1]
178 **MAN_DIRS=(**{usr{,/local}{,/share},opt/*}/{man,info} ...**)**::
179 If `zipman` is specified in the OPTIONS array, this variable will
180 instruct makepkg where to look to compress manual (man and info)
181 pages. If you build packages that are located in opt/, you may need
182 to add the directory to this array. *NOTE:* Do not add the leading
183 slash to the directory name.
185 **DOC_DIRS=(**usr/{,share/}{doc,gtk-doc} ...**)**::
186 If `!docs` is specified in the OPTIONS array, this variable will
187 instruct makepkg where to look to remove docs. If you build packages
188 that are located in opt/, you may need to add the directory to this
189 array. *NOTE:* Do not add the leading slash to the directory name.
191 **PURGE_TARGETS=(**usr/{,share}/info/dir .podlist *.pod...**)**::
192 If `purge` is specified in the OPTIONS array, this variable will
193 instruct makepkg which files to remove from the package. This is
194 useful for index files that are added by multiple packages.
196 **PKGDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
197 If this value is not set, packages will by default be placed in the
198 current directory (location of the linkman:PKGBUILD[5]). Many people
199 like to keep all their packages in one place so this option allows
200 this behavior. A common location is ``/home/packages''.
202 **SRCDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
203 If this value is not set, downloaded source files will only be stored
204 in the current directory. Many people like to keep all source files in
205 a central location for easy cleanup, so this path can be set here.
207 **SRCPKGDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
208 If this value is not set, source package files will be stored in
209 in the current directory. Many people like to keep all source package files
210 in a central location for easy cleanup, so this path can be set here.
212 **PACKAGER=**"John Doe <john@example.com>"::
213 This value is used when querying a package to see who was the builder.
214 It is recommended you change this to your name and email address.
216 **PKGEXT=**".pkg.tar.gz", **SRCEXT=**".src.tar.gz"::
217 Sets the compression used when making compiled or source packages. The
218 current valid suffixes are `.tar`, `.tar.gz`, `.tar.bz2`, `.tar.xz`, and
220 Do not touch these unless you know what you are doing.
