pkgsrc
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
[pkgsrc](https://pkgsrc.org) is a framework for building software for a
|
|
variety of UNIX-like systems.
|
|
|
|
It produces binary packages, which can be managed with tools such as
|
|
[pkgin](http://pkgin.net/).
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
$PREFIX/bin/bmake install
|
|
|
|
Where `$PREFIX` is where you've chosen to install packages
|
|
(typically `/usr/pkg`)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
