MAKEPKG.CONF(5) Pacman Manual MAKEPKG.CONF(5)NAMEmakepkg.conf - makepkg configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/makepkg.conf, ~/.makepkg.conf
DESCRIPTION
Configuration options for makekpg are stored in makepkg.conf. This file
is sourced, so you can include any special compiler flags you wish to
use. This is helpful for building for different architectures, or with
different optimizations. However, only the variables described below
are exported to the build environment.
Note
This does not guarantee that all package Makefiles will use your
exported variables. Some of them are non-standard.
The system-wide configuration file is found in /etc/makepkg.conf.
Individual options can be overridden (or added to) on a per user basis
in ~/.makepkg.conf.
The default file is fairly well commented, so it may be easiest to
simply follow directions given there for customization.
OPTIONS
DLAGENTS=('protocol::/path/to/command [options]' ...)
Sets the download agents used to fetch source files specified with
a URL in the PKGBUILD(5) file. Options can be specified for each
command as well, and any protocol can have a download agent.
Several examples are provided in the default makepkg.conf.
If present, %u will be replaced with the download URL. Otherwise,
the download URL will be placed on the end of the command. If
present, %o will be replaced with the local filename, plus a
“.part” extension, which allows makepkg to handle resuming file
downloads.
CARCH="carch"
Specifies your computer architecture; possible values include such
things as “i686”, “x86_64”, “ppc”, etc. This should be
automatically set on installation.
CHOST="chost"
A string such as “i686-pc-linux-gnu”, do not touch unless you know
what you are doing. This can be commented out by most users if
desired.
CPPFLAGS="cppflags"
Flags used for the C preprocessor; see CFLAGS for more info.
CFLAGS="cflags"
Flags used for the C compiler. This is a key part to the use of
makepkg. Usually several options are specified, and the most common
string resembles something like this: “-march=i686 -O2 -pipe”.
Another useful option may be -mcpu in place of -march. Read gcc(1)
for more details on the wide variety of compiler flags available.
CXXFLAGS="cxxflags"
Flags used for the C++ compiler; see CFLAGS for more info.
LDFLAGS="ldflags"
Flags used for the linker. Several options may be specified with
common usage resembling “-Wl,--hash-style=gnu”. Read ld(1) for more
details on available linker flags.
MAKEFLAGS="makeflags"
This is often used to set the number of jobs used, for example,
-j2. Other flags that make accepts can also be passed.
DEBUG_CFLAGS="debug_cflags"
Additional compiler flags appended to CFLAGS for use in debugging.
Usually this would include: “-g”. Read gcc(1) for more details on
the wide variety of compiler flags available.
DEBUG_CXXFLAGS="debug_cxxflags"
Debug flags used for the C++ compiler; see DEBUG_CFLAGS for more
info.
BUILDENV=(fakeroot !distcc color !ccache check !sign)
This array contains options that affect the build environment, the
defaults are shown here. All options should always be left in the
array; to enable or disable an option simply remove or place an “!”
at the front of the option. If an option is specified multiple
times, the final value takes precedence. Each option works as
follows:
fakeroot
Allow building packages as a non-root user. This is highly
recommended.
distcc
Use the distributed C/C++/ObjC compiler to spread compilation
among multiple machines. If this is enabled, DISTCC_HOSTS must
be specified as well.
color
Colorize output messages, making output easier to read.
ccache
Use ccache to cache compilation by default. This allows for
faster compiles if you are continuously recompiling the same
packages. It can be disabled for individual packages by placing
!ccache in the PKGBUILD options array.
check
Run the check() function if present in the PKGBUILD. This can
be enabled or disabled for individual packages through the use
of makepkg’s --check and --nocheck options respectively.
sign
Generate a PGP signature file using GnuPG. This will execute
gpg --detach-sign --use-agent on the built package to generate
a detached signature file, using the GPG agent if it is
available. The signature file will be the entire filename of
the package with a “.sig” extension.
DISTCC_HOSTS="host1 ..."
If using DistCC, this is used to specify a space-delimited list of
hosts running in the DistCC cluster. In addition, you will want to
modify your MAKEFLAGS.
BUILDDIR="/path/to/folder"
If this value is not set, packages will by default be built in
subdirectories of the directory that makepkg is called from. This
option allows setting the build location to another folder.
Incorrect use of $startdir in a PKGBUILD may cause building with
this option to fail.
GPGKEY=""
Specify a key to use for gpg signing instead of the default key in
the keyring. Can be overridden with makepkg’s --key option.
OPTIONS=(strip docs libtool staticlibs emptydirs zipman purge !upx)
This array contains options that affect the default packaging. They
are equivalent to options that can be placed in the PKGBUILD; the
defaults are shown here. All options should always be left in the
array; to enable or disable an option simply remove or place an “!”
at the front of the option. If an option is specified multiple
times, the final value takes precedence. Each option works as
follows:
strip
Strip symbols from binaries and libraries. If you frequently
use a debugger on programs or libraries, it may be helpful to
disable this option.
docs
Save doc directories. If you wish to delete doc directories,
specify !docs in the array. The directories affected are
specified by the DOC_DIRS variable.
libtool
Leave libtool (.la) files in packages. Specify !libtool to
remove them.
staticlibs
Leave static library (.a) files in packages. Specify
!staticlibs to remove them.
emptydirs
Leave empty directories in packages.
zipman
Compress manual (man and info) pages with gzip. The directories
affected are specified by the MAN_DIRS variable.
purge
Remove files specified by the PURGE_TARGETS variable from the
package.
upx
Compress binary executable files using UPX. Additional options
can be passed to UPX by specifying the UPXFLAGS variable.
debug
Add the user-specified debug flags as specified in DEBUG_CFLAGS
and DEBUG_CXXFLAGS to their counterpart buildflags. Creates a
separate package containing the debug symbols when used with
‘strip’.
INTEGRITY_CHECK=(check1 ...)
File integrity checks to use. Multiple checks may be specified;
this affects both generation and checking. The current valid
options are: md5, sha1, sha256, sha384, and sha512.
STRIP_BINARIES="--strip-all"
Options to be used when stripping binaries. See strip(1) for
details.
STRIP_SHARED="--strip-unneeded"
Options to be used when stripping shared libraries. See strip(1)
for details.
STRIP_STATIC="--strip-debug"
Options to be used when stripping static libraries. See strip(1)
for details.
MAN_DIRS=({usr{,/local}{,/share},opt/*}/{man,info} ...)
If zipman is specified in the OPTIONS array, this variable will
instruct makepkg where to look to compress manual (man and info)
pages. If you build packages that are located in opt/, you may need
to add the directory to this array. NOTE: Do not add the leading
slash to the directory name.
DOC_DIRS=(usr/{,share/}{doc,gtk-doc} ...)
If !docs is specified in the OPTIONS array, this variable will
instruct makepkg where to look to remove docs. If you build
packages that are located in opt/, you may need to add the
directory to this array. NOTE: Do not add the leading slash to the
directory name.
PURGE_TARGETS=(usr/{,share}/info/dir .podlist *.pod...)
If purge is specified in the OPTIONS array, this variable will
instruct makepkg which files to remove from the package. This is
useful for index files that are added by multiple packages.
PKGDEST="/path/to/folder"
If this value is not set, packages will by default be placed in the
current directory (location of the PKGBUILD(5)). Many people like
to keep all their packages in one place so this option allows this
behavior. A common location is “/home/packages”.
SRCDEST="/path/to/folder"
If this value is not set, downloaded source files will only be
stored in the current directory. Many people like to keep all
source files in a central location for easy cleanup, so this path
can be set here.
SRCPKGDEST="/path/to/folder"
If this value is not set, source package files will be stored in in
the current directory. Many people like to keep all source package
files in a central location for easy cleanup, so this path can be
set here.
LOGDEST="/path/to/folder"
If this value is not set, log files are written to the current
directory. This centralizes the log location, facilitating cleanup
and compression.
PACKAGER="John Doe <john@example.com>"
This value is used when querying a package to see who was the
builder. It is recommended you change this to your name and email
address.
COMPRESSGZ="(gzip -c -f -n)", COMPRESSBZ2="(bzip2 -c -f)",
COMPRESSXZ="(xz -c -z -)", COMPRESSLZO"(lzop -q)", COMPRESSLRZ="(lrzip
-q)", COMPRESSZ="(compress -c -f)"
Sets the command and options used when compressing compiled or
source packages in the named format.
PKGEXT=".pkg.tar.gz", SRCEXT=".src.tar.gz"
Sets the compression used when making compiled or source packages.
The current valid suffixes are .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz,
.tar.lzo, .tar.lrz and .tar.Z. Do not touch these unless you know
what you are doing.
