Changelog from AN-2021-07-29: - smake: changed open(..., 0) -> open(..., O_RDONLY) for z/OS Thanks to a report from Matthew R. Wilson - smake: z/OS is using EBCDIC and for this reason, smake cannot continue to #define NWARN 0x4000, as this bit would be in conflict with bits needed by the "short int" computed from characters used by macro assignment operator characters. e.g. "'=' | '+' << 8" smake now uses #define NWARN 0x8000 as this bit is only in use by EBCDIC digits that do not appear in the 16 bit values used as macro assignment operators inside smake. Thanks to a report from Matthew R. Wilson - smake: A .POSIX: line in the Makefile is now correctly detected immediately and switches immediately into POSIX mode. This is important in case that the parser needs to behave different already, depending on whether it is in POSIX mode or not. - smake: Since the GNU assignment operator := that has been adopted by POSIX as ::= causes unpredictable behavior, in case that += is used, it is now only supported when smake is in "POSIX mode", e.g. by putting .POSIX: into the Makefile. As this results in modifying the parser based on the current POSIX state, this needs the extension mentioned above. |

pkgsrc
pkgsrc 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. 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
other advanced features. Unprivileged use and installation is also supported.
pkgsrc is the default package manager for NetBSD and SmartOS. It's also supported as a first-class option in OmniOS CE and Oasis Linux.
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.
Community / Troubleshooting
- Join the community IRC channel #pkgsrc @ libera.chat.
- Join the community Matrix room #pkgsrc:nil.im
- Subscribe to the pkgsrc-users mailing list
- Send bugs and patches via web form (use the
pkg
category).
