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 **MAKEFLAGS=**"makeflags"::
65 This is often used to set the number of jobs used, for example, `-j2`.
66 Other flags that make accepts can also be passed.
68 **BUILDENV=(**fakeroot !distcc color !ccache !xdelta**)**::
69 This array contains options that affect the build environment, the defaults
70 are shown here. All options should always be left in the array; to enable
71 or disable an option simply remove or place an ``!'' at the front of the
72 option. Each works as follows:
75 Allow building packages as a non-root user. This is highly recommended.
78 Use the distributed C/C++/ObjC compiler to spread compilation among
79 multiple machines. If this is enabled, `DISTCC_HOSTS` must be specified
83 Colorize output messages, making output easier to read.
86 Use ccache to cache compilation by default. This allows for faster
87 compiles if you are continuously recompiling the same packages. It can
88 be disabled for individual packages by placing `!ccache` in the
89 PKGBUILD options array.
92 Generate an xdelta binary patch from previous to current package. The
93 previous package must be available in the makepkg cache directory for
96 **DISTCC_HOSTS=**"host1 ..."::
97 If using DistCC, this is used to specify a space-delimited list of hosts
98 running in the DistCC cluster. In addition, you will want to modify your
101 **OPTIONS=(**strip !docs libtool emptydirs zipman**)**::
102 This array contains options that affect the default packaging. They are
103 equivalent to options that can be placed in the PKGBUILD; the defaults are
104 shown here. All options should always be left in the array; to enable or
105 disable an option simply remove or place an ``!'' at the front of the
106 option. Each works as follows:
109 Strip symbols from binaries and libraries. If you frequently use a
110 debugger on programs or libraries, it may be helpful to disable this
114 Save doc directories. If you wish to delete doc directories, specify
115 `!docs' in the array. The directories affected are specified by the
119 Leave libtool (.la) files in packages. Specify `!libtool' to remove
123 Leave empty directories in packages.
126 Compress man and info pages with gzip.
128 **INTEGRITY_CHECK=(**check1 ...**)**::
129 File integrity checks to use. Multiple checks may be specified; this
130 affects both generation and checking. The current valid options are:
131 `md5`, `sha1`, `sha256`, `sha384`, and `sha512`.
133 **DOC_DIRS=(**usr/{,share/}{doc,gtk-doc} ...**)**::
134 If "!docs" is specified in the OPTIONS array, this variable will
135 instruct makepkg where to look to remove docs. If you build packages
136 that are located in opt/, you may need to add the directory to this
137 array. *NOTE:* Do not add the leading slash to the directory name.
139 **STRIP_DIRS=(**bin lib sbin usr/{bin,lib} ...**)**::
140 If "strip" is specified in the OPTIONS array, this variable will
141 instruct makepkg where to look to for files to strip. If you build
142 packages that are located in opt/, you may need to add the directory
143 to this array. *NOTE:* Do not add the leading slash to the directory
146 **PKGDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
147 If this value is not set, packages will by default be placed in the
148 current directory (location of the linkman:PKGBUILD[5]). Many people
149 like to keep all their packages in one place so this option allows
150 this behavior. A common location is ``/home/packages''.
152 **SRCDEST=**"/path/to/folder"::
153 If this value is not set, downloaded source files will only be stored
154 in the current directory. Many people like to keep all source files in
155 a central location for easy cleanup, so this path can be set here.
157 **PACKAGER=**"John Doe <john@doe.com>"::
158 This value is used when querying a package to see who was the builder.
159 It is recommended you change this to your name and email address.
161 *BUILDSCRIPT*, *PKGEXT*, *SRCEXT*::
162 Do not touch these unless you know what you are doing.
