[pkgsrc](https://pkgsrc.org/) is a framework for building software for a
|
2020-01-13 22:05:50 +01:00
|
|
|
variety of UNIX-like systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It produces binary packages, which can be managed with tools such as

|
|
[pkgin](http://pkgin.net/). pkgsrc is highly configurable, supporting
|
|
|
|
|
building packages for an arbitrary installation prefix (the default is

|
|
`/usr/pkg`), allowing multiple branches to coexist on one machine, a

build options framework, and a compiler transformation framework, among
|
2020-11-04 11:59:39 +01:00
|

other advanced features. Unprivileged use and installation is also supported.

|
2022-08-01 16:49:09 +02:00
|
|
|
and [SmartOS](https://www.tritondatacenter.com/smartos).

|
|
|
It's also supported as a first-class option in [OmniOS CE](https://omniosce.org/)

Bootstrapping
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use pkgsrc on operating systems other than NetBSD, you first need to
|
|
|
|
|
bootstrap:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd pkgsrc/bootstrap
|
|
|
|
|
./bootstrap
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this is only for the most simple case, using pkgsrc's defaults.

|
|
|
Please consult `bootstrap/README` and `bootstrap/README.OS` for detailed
|
|
|
|
|
information about bootstrapping.

Building packages
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd pkgsrc/category/package-name
|
|
|
|
|
$PREFIX/bin/bmake install
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-01-14 13:30:23 +01:00
|
|
|
Where `$PREFIX` is where you've chosen to install packages
|
|
|
|
|
(typically `/usr/pkg`)
|
2020-01-13 22:05:50 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On NetBSD, `bmake` is simply the built-in `make` tool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build packages in bulk, tools such as `pkgtools/pbulk` and
|
|
|
|
|
`pkgtools/pkg_comp` can be used.
