makepkg.conf(5)
===============
Name
----
makepkg.conf - makepkg configuration file
Synopsis
--------
{sysconfdir}/makepkg.conf, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pacman/makepkg.conf, ~/.makepkg.conf
Description
-----------
Configuration options for makepkg are stored in makepkg.conf. This file is
sourced so you can include any special compiler flags you wish to use. This is
helpful when 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 {sysconfdir}/makepkg.conf.
Individual options can be overridden (or added to) on a per-user basis in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pacman/makepkg.conf or ~/.makepkg.conf, with the former
taking priority.
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 linkman:PKGBUILD[5] file. Options can be specified for each command as
well, and any protocol can have a download agent. Any spaces in option
arguments are required to be escaped to avoid being split. 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 file name, plus a ``.part'' extension, which allows
makepkg to handle resuming file downloads.
**VCSCLIENTS=(**\'protocol::package' ...**)**::
Sets the packages required to fetch version controlled source files. When
required, makepkg will check that these packages are installed or are included
in the `depends` or `makedepends` arrays in the PKGBUILD.
**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 this 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 information.
**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=(**!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 add an ``!'' at the front of the
option. If an option is specified multiple times, the final value takes
precedence. Each option works as follows:
*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 file name 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/directory"::
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 directory.
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 !debug**)**::
This array contains options that affect 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 add 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, if they have a shared counterpart.
*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.
*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`, `sha224`, `sha256`, `sha384`, and `sha512`.
**STRIP_BINARIES=**"--strip-all"::
Options to be used when stripping binaries. See linkman:strip[1]
for details.
**STRIP_SHARED=**"--strip-unneeded"::
Options to be used when stripping shared libraries or PIE executables.
See linkman:strip[1] for details.
**STRIP_STATIC=**"--strip-debug"::
Options to be used when stripping static libraries. See linkman: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.
**DBGSRCDIR=**"/usr/src/debug"::
If `strip` and `debug` are specified in the `OPTIONS` array, this variable
will instruct makepkg where to place source files for installed binaries.
The binaries will be modified to link this directory for the debugger
search path.
**PKGDEST=**"/path/to/directory"::
If this value is not set, packages will, by default, be placed in the
current directory (location of the linkman:PKGBUILD[5]). Many people
like to keep all their packages in one place so this option allows
for this behavior. A common location is ``/home/packages''.
**SRCDEST=**"/path/to/directory"::
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/directory"::
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/directory"::
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 to 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)"::
**COMPRESSLZ4=**"(lz4 -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.
Valid suffixes are `.tar`, `.tar.gz`, `.tar.bz2`, `.tar.xz`,
`.tar.lzo`, `.tar.lrz`, `.tar.lz4`, and `.tar.Z`.
Do not touch these unless you know what you are doing.
