pkgsrc

History

jschauma f8a308ad6a Implement changes suggested on tech-pkg some time ago: (1) rework how command-line arguments are parsed: instead of --command=<arg>, use --command <arg> This allows us to not rely on certain commands for which we first need to figure out where they are to parse the arguments, which in turn allows us to (2) add the command-line option --preserve-path to prevent bootstrap from munging the PATH (as it does on some platforms) and look in places that are not currently in the PATH Finally, (3) add a check to see if we're using gcc, and set and add the PKGSRC_COMPILER=<compiler> flag to the sample mk.conf. This is particularly useful (and actually necessary) under IRIX. Bump BOOTSTRAP_VERSION.		2005-04-10 21:54:13 +00:00

To try to get pkgsrc working on your system, please try the following
as root:

# ./bootstrap [ --prefix=${PREFIX} ] [ --pkgdbdir=${PKG_DBDIR} ] \
	[ --sysconfdir=${PKG_SYSCONFBASE} ] [ --workdir=working directory] \
	[ --ignore-case-check ] [ --ignore-user-check ] [ --help ]

The defaults for the arguments are as follows:

	--prefix	/usr/pkg
	--pkgdbdir	/var/db/pkg
	--sysconfdir	/usr/pkg/etc
	--workdir	work

It is perfectly acceptable to place ${PKG_DBDIR} under ${PREFIX}.

The working directory will be created if it doesn't exist and has to be
writable by the user executing ./bootstrap.

Make sure that you have a working C compiler and make(1) binary in
your path.

See http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html for
more information about bootstrapping and using pkgsrc.

We'd be very interested in hearing of any successes or failures on
"unknown" (to us) systems.
