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 manlink: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.
42 Specifies your computer architecture; possible values include such things
43 as ``i686'', ``x86_64'', ``ppc'', etc. This should be automatically set on
47 A string such as ``i686-pc-linux-gnu'', do not touch unless you know what
48 you are doing. This can be commented out by most users if desired.
51 Flags used for the C compiler. This is a key part to the use of makepkg.
52 Usually several options are specified, and the most common string resembles
53 something like this: ``-march=i686 -O2 -pipe''. Another useful option may
54 be `-mcpu` in place of `-march`. Read gcc(1) for more details on the wide
55 variety of compiler flags available.
57 **CXXFLAGS=**"cxxflags"::
58 Flags used for the C++ compiler; see CFLAGS for more info.
60 **MAKEFLAGS=**"makeflags"::
61 This is often used to set the number of jobs used, for example, `-j2`.
62 Other flags that make accepts can also be passed.
64 **BUILDENV=(**fakeroot !distcc color !ccache !xdelta**)**::
65 This array contains options that affect the build environment, the defaults
66 are shown here. All options should always be left in the array; to enable
67 or disable an option simply remove or place an ``!'' at the front of the
68 option. Each works as follows:
71 Allow building packages as a non-root user. This is highly recommended.
74 Use the distributed C/C++/ObjC compiler to spread compilation among
75 multiple machines. If this is enabled, `DISTCC_HOSTS` must be specified
79 Colorize output messages, making output easier to read.
82 Use ccache to cache compilation by default. This allows for faster
83 compiles if you are continuously recompiling the same packages. It can
84 be disabled for individual packages by placing `!ccache` in the
85 PKGBUILD options array.
88 Generate an xdelta binary patch from previous to current package. The
89 previous package must be available in the makepkg cache directory for
92 **DISTCC_HOSTS=**"host1 ..."::
93 If using DistCC, this is used to specify a space-delimited list of hosts
94 running in the DistCC cluster. In addition, you will want to modify your
97 **OPTIONS=(**strip !docs libtool emptydirs**)**::
98 This array contains options that affect the default packaging. All four are
99 equivalent to options that can be placed in the PKGBUILD; the defaults are
100 shown here. All options should always be left in the array; to enable or
101 disable an option simply remove or place an ``!'' at the front of the
102 option. Each works as follows:
105 Strip symbols from binaries and libraries. If you frequently use a
106 debugger on programs or libraries, it may be helpful to disable this
110 Save doc and info directories. If you wish to delete doc and info
111 directories, specify `!docs' in the array.
114 Leave libtool (.la) files in packages. Specify `!libtool' to remove
118 Leave empty directories in packages.
120 **INTEGRITY_CHECK=(**check1 ...**)**::
121 File integrity checks to use. Multiple checks may be specified; this
122 affects both generation and checking. The current valid options are:
123 `md5`, `sha1`, `sha256`, `sha384`, and `sha512`.
125 **DOC_DIRS=(**usr/{,share/}{info,doc} ...**)**::
126 If "!docs" is specified in the OPTIONS array, this variable will
127 instruct makepkg where to look to remove docs. If you build packages
128 that are located in opt/, you may need to add the directory to this
129 array. *NOTE:* Do not add the leading slash to the directory name.
131 **PKGDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
132 If this value is not set, packages will by default be placed in the
133 current directory (location of the manlink:PKGBUILD[5]). Many people
134 like to keep all their packages in one place so this option allows
135 this behavior. A common location is ``/home/packages''.
137 **SRCDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
138 If this value is not set, downloaded source files will only be stored
139 in the current directory. Many people like to keep all source files in
140 a central location for easy cleanup, so this path can be set here.
142 **PACKAGER=**"John Doe <john@doe.com>"::
143 This value is used when querying a package to see who was the builder.
144 It is recommended you change this to your name and email address.
146 *BUILDSCRIPT*, *PKGEXT*, *SRCEXT*, *DB_COMPRESSION*, *DB_CHECKSUMS*::
147 Do not touch these unless you know what you are doing.
