NAME
makepkg.conf - makepkg configuration fileSYNOPSIS
/etc/makepkg.conf, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pacman/makepkg.conf, ~/.makepkg.confDESCRIPTION
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.OPTIONS
DLAGENTS=('protocol::/path/to/command [options]' ...)Sets the download agents used to fetch source
files specified with a URL in the 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.
RUSTFLAGS="rustflags"
Flags used for the Rust compiler, similar in
spirit to CFLAGS. Read rustc(1) for more details on the available
flags.
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.
LTOFLAGS="ltoflags"
Additional compiler and linker flags appended
to CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS when building with link time optimization. If
empty, “-flto” is used.
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.
DEBUG_RUSTFLAGS="debug_rustflags"
Additional compiler flags appended to
RUSTFLAGS for use in debugging. Usually this would include: “-C
debuginfo=2”. Read rustc(1) for more details on the available
flags.
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
DISTCC_HOSTS="host1 ..."
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.
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
INTEGRITY_CHECK=(check1 ...)
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’.
lto
Enable building packages using link time
optimization. Adds the flags specified in LTOFLAGS to CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and
LDFLAGS (or “-flto” if LTOFLAGS is empty).
File integrity checks to use. Multiple checks
may be specified; this affects both generation and checking. The current valid
options are: ck, md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, and b2.
STRIP_BINARIES="--strip-all"
Options to be used when stripping binaries.
See strip(1) for details.
STRIP_SHARED="--strip-unneeded"
Options to be used when stripping shared
libraries or PIE executables. See strip(1) for details.
STRIP_STATIC="--strip-debug"
Options to be used when stripping static
libraries. See 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
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 <[email protected]>"
This value is used when querying a package to
see who was the builder. The given format is required for PGP key lookup
through WKD. 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 -)",
COMPRESSZST="(zstd -c -z -)", COMPRESSLZO"(lzop
-q)", COMPRESSLRZ="(lrzip -q)",
COMPRESSLZ4="(lz4 -q)", COMPRESSZ="(compress -c
-f)", COMPRESSLZ="(lzip -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.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz, .tar.zst,
.tar.lzo, .tar.lrz, .tar.lz4, .tar.lz and .tar.Z, or simply .tar to disable
compression entirely.
PACMAN_AUTH=()
Specify a command prefix for running pacman as
root. If unset, makepkg will check for the presence of sudo(8) and su(1) in
turn, and try the first one it finds.
If present, %c will be replaced with the shell-quoted form of the command to
run. Otherwise, the command to run is appended to the auth command.
