The requirements for +using the script are a build-capable *nix platform and a custom build script +for each package you wish to build (known as a PKGBUILD). See +linkman:PKGBUILD[5] for details on creating your own build scripts. + +The advantage to a script-based build is that the work is only done once. Once +you have the build script for a package, 'makepkg' will do the rest: download and +validate source files, check dependencies, configure the build-time settings, +build the package, install the package into a temporary root, make +customizations, generate meta-info, and package the whole thing up for pacman +to use. + +NOTE: 'makepkg' uses your current locale by default and does not unset it when +building packages. If you wish to share your build output with others when +seeking help or for other purposes, you may wish to run "`LC_ALL=C makepkg`" so +your logs and output are not localized. + + +Options +------- +*-A, \--ignorearch*:: + Ignore a missing or incomplete arch field in the build script. This is + for rebuilding packages from source when the PKGBUILD may be slightly + outdated and not updated with an `arch=('yourarch')` field. + +*-c, \--clean*:: + Clean up leftover work files and directories after a successful build. + +*\--config* <file>:: + Use an alternate configuration file instead of the +{sysconfdir}/makepkg.conf+ + default. + +*-d, \--nodeps*:: + Do not perform any dependency checks. This will let you override and + ignore any dependencies required. There is a good chance this option + will break the build process if all of the dependencies are not + installed. + +*-e, \--noextract*:: + Do not extract source files or run the prepare() function (if present); + use whatever source already exists in the $srcdir/ directory. This is + handy if you want to go into $srcdir/ and manually patch or tweak code, + then make a package out of the result. Keep in mind that creating a + patch may be a better solution to allow others to use your PKGBUILD. + +*\--verifysource*:: + For each source file in the source array of PKGBUILD, download the file + if required and perform the integrity checks. No extraction or build is + performed. Dependencies specified in the PKGBUILD will not be handled + unless `--syncdeps` is used. Useful for performing subsequent offline + builds. + +*-f, \--force*:: + makepkg will not build a package if a built package already exists in + the `PKGDEST` (set in linkman:makepkg.conf[5]) directory, which may + default to the current directory. This allows the built package to be + overwritten. + +*-g, \--geninteg*:: + For each source file in the source array of PKGBUILD, download the file + if required and generate integrity checks. The integrity checks generated + are determined by the checks present in the PKGBUILD, falling back to the + value of the INTEGRITY_CHECK array in makepkg.conf(5) if these are absent + This output can be redirected into your PKGBUILD for source validation + using "`makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD`". + +*--skipinteg*:: + Do not perform any integrity checks (checksum and PGP) on source files. + +*\--skipchecksums*:: + Do not verify checksums of source files. + +*\--skippgpcheck*:: + Do not verify PGP signatures of source files. + +*-h, \--help*:: + Output syntax and command line options. + +*--holdver*:: + When using VCS sources (linkman:PKGBUILD[5]) any currently checked out source + will not be updated to the latest revision. + +*-i, \--install*:: + Install or upgrade the package after a successful build using + linkman:pacman[8]. + +*-L, \--log*:: + Enable logging. This will use the *tee* program to send the output of each + of the PKGBUILD functions to both the console and to a text file in the + build directory named `pkgbase-pkgver-pkgrel-arch-<function>.log`. + As mentioned above, the logs will be localized so you may want to set your + locale accordingly if sharing the log output with others. + +*-m, \--nocolor*:: + Disable color in output messages. + +*-o, \--nobuild*:: + Download and extract files, run the prepare() function, but do not build + them. Useful with the '\--noextract' option if you wish to tweak the files + in $srcdir/ before building. + +*-p* <buildscript>:: + Read the package script `buildscript` instead of the `PKGBUILD` default; + see linkman:PKGBUILD[5]. The `buildscript` must be located in the directory + makepkg is called from. + +*-r, \--rmdeps*:: + Upon successful build, remove any dependencies installed by makepkg + during dependency auto-resolution and installation when using `-s`. + +*-R, \--repackage*:: + Repackage contents of the package without rebuilding the package. This + is useful if you forgot, for example, a dependency or install file in your + PKGBUILD and the build itself will not change. + +*-s, \--syncdeps*:: + Install missing dependencies using pacman. When build-time or run-time + dependencies are not found, pacman will try to resolve them. If + successful, the missing packages will be downloaded and installed. + +*-S, \--source*:: + Do not actually build the package, but build a source-only tarball that + does not include sources that can be fetched via a download URL. This is + useful for passing a single tarball to another program such as a chroot, + remote builder, or a tarball upload. Because integrity checks are verified, + all source files of the package need to be present or downloadable. + +*-V, \--version*:: + Display version information. + +*-C, \--cleanbuild*:: + Remove the $srcdir before building the package. + +*\--allsource*:: + Do not actually build the package, but build a source-only tarball that + includes all sources, including those that are normally downloaded via + makepkg. This is useful for passing a single tarball to another program + such as a chroot or remote builder. It will also satisfy requirements of + the GPL when distributing binary packages. + +*\--check*:: + Run the check() function in the PKGBUILD, overriding the setting in + linkman:makepkg.conf[5]. + +*\--noarchive*:: + Do not create the archive at the end of the build process. This can be + useful to test the package() function or if your target distribution does + not use pacman. + +*\--nocheck*:: + Do not run the check() function in the PKGBUILD or handle the checkdepends. + +*\--noprepare*:: + Do not run the prepare() function in the PKGBUILD. + +*\--sign*:: + Sign the resulting package with gpg, overriding the setting in + linkman:makepkg.conf[5]. + +*\--nosign*:: + Do not create a signature for the built package. + +*\--key* <key>:: + Specify a key to use when signing packages, overriding the GPGKEY setting + in linkman:makepkg.conf[5]. If not specified in either location, the + default key from the keyring will be used. + +*\--noconfirm*:: + (Passed to pacman) Prevent pacman from waiting for user input before + proceeding with operations. + +*\--needed*:: + (Passed to pacman) Tell pacman not to reinstall a target if it is already + up-to-date. (used with '-i' / '\--install'). + +*\--asdeps*:: + (Passed to pacman) Install packages as non-explicitly installed (used + with '-i' / '\--install'). + +*\--noprogressbar*:: + (Passed to pacman) Prevent pacman from displaying a progress bar; + useful if you are redirecting makepkg output to file. + +*\--packagelist*:: + List the package filenames that would be produced without building. Listed + package filenames include PKGDEST and PKGEXT. + +*\--printsrcinfo*:: + Generate and print the SRCINFO file to stdout. + + +Additional Features +------------------- +makepkg supports building development versions of packages without having to +manually update the pkgver in the PKGBUILD. This was formerly done using the +separate utility 'versionpkg'. See linkman:PKGBUILD[5] for details on how to +set up a development PKGBUILD. + + +Reproducibility +--------------- +makepkg is designed to be compatible with +link:https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/[Reproducible Builds]. If the +**SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH** environment variable is set, it will be exported to +subprocesses, and source and package file modification times and package +metadata will be unified based on the timestamp specified. + +If the **SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH** environment variable is not set, makepkg will use +its own start date for internal use, but will not unify source file timestamps +before building. + + +Environment Variables +--------------------- +**PACMAN**:: + The command that will be used to check for missing dependencies and to + install and remove packages. Pacman's '-Qq', '-Rns', '-S', '-T', and '-U' + operations must be supported by this command. If the variable is not + set or empty, makepkg will fall back to `pacman'. + +**MAKEPKG_CONF=**"/path/to/file":: + Use an alternate config file instead of the +{sysconfdir}/makepkg.conf+ + default. + +**PKGDEST=**"/path/to/directory":: + Directory where the resulting packages will be stored.
