.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ports
|
|
.Nd contributed applications
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fx
|
|
Ports Collection
|
|
offers a simple way for users and
|
|
administrators to install applications.
|
|
Each
|
|
.Em port
|
|
contains any patches necessary to make the original
|
|
application source code compile and run on
|
|
.Bx .
|
|
Compiling an
|
|
application is as simple as typing
|
|
.Nm make Cm build
|
|
in the port directory!
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa Makefile
|
|
automatically fetches the
|
|
application source code, either from a local disk or via FTP, unpacks it
|
|
on your system, applies the patches, and compiles it.
|
|
If all goes well,
|
|
simply type
|
|
.Nm make Cm install
|
|
to install the application.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is possible to download and use ports from the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
repository
|
|
that are newer than the installed system; however it is important to
|
|
install the appropriate
|
|
.Dq "Upgrade Kit"
|
|
from
|
|
.Pa http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/
|
|
first!
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr portcheckout 1
|
|
script (also a port, of course!) will help to download new ports.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For more information about using ports, see
|
|
.Dq "Packages and Ports"
|
|
in
|
|
.%B "The FreeBSD Handbook" ,
|
|
.Pa ( file:/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html ) .
|
|
For information about creating new ports, see
|
|
.%B "The Porter's Handbook"
|
|
.Pa ( file:/usr/share/doc/porters-handbook/index.html
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ ) .
|
|
.Sh TARGETS
|
|
Some of the targets work recursively through subdirectories.
|
|
This lets you, for example, install all of the
|
|
.Dq Li biology
|
|
ports.
|
|
The targets that do this are
|
|
.Cm build , checksum , clean , configure ,
|
|
.Cm depends , extract , fetch , install ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm package .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following targets will be run automatically by each proceeding
|
|
target in order.
|
|
That is,
|
|
.Cm build
|
|
will be run
|
|
(if necessary)
|
|
by
|
|
.Cm install ,
|
|
and so on all the way to
|
|
.Cm fetch .
|
|
Usually, you will only use the
|
|
.Cm install
|
|
target.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm configure"
|
|
.It Cm fetch
|
|
Fetch all of the files needed to build this port from the sites
|
|
listed in
|
|
.Va MASTER_SITES
|
|
and
|
|
.Va PATCH_SITES .
|
|
See
|
|
.Va FETCH_CMD
|
|
and
|
|
.Va MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE .
|
|
.It Cm checksum
|
|
Verify that the fetched distfile's checksum matches the one the port was
|
|
tested against.
|
|
Defining
|
|
.Va NO_CHECKSUM
|
|
will skip this step.
|
|
.It Cm depends
|
|
Install
|
|
(or compile if only compilation is necessary)
|
|
any dependencies of the current port.
|
|
When called by the
|
|
.Cm extract
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm fetch
|
|
targets, this is run in piecemeal as
|
|
.Cm fetch-depends , build-depends ,
|
|
etc.
|
|
Defining
|
|
.Va NO_DEPENDS
|
|
will skip this step.
|
|
.It Cm extract
|
|
Expand the distfile into a work directory.
|
|
.It Cm patch
|
|
Apply any patches that are necessary for the port.
|
|
.It Cm configure
|
|
Configure the port.
|
|
Some ports will ask you questions during this stage.
|
|
See
|
|
.Va INTERACTIVE
|
|
and
|
|
.Va BATCH .
|
|
.It Cm build
|
|
Build the port.
|
|
This is the same as calling the
|
|
.Cm all
|
|
target.
|
|
.It Cm install
|
|
Install the port and register it with the package system.
|
|
This is all you really need to do.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following targets are not run during the normal install process.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm fetch-recursive"
|
|
.It Cm fetch-list
|
|
Show list of files needed to be fetched in order to build the port.
|
|
.It Cm fetch-recursive
|
|
Fetch the distfiles of the port and all its dependencies.
|
|
.It Cm pretty-print-run-depends-list , pretty-print-build-depends-list
|
|
Print a list of all the compile and run dependencies, and dependencies
|
|
of those dependencies.
|
|
.It Cm clean
|
|
Remove the expanded source code.
|
|
This recurses to dependencies unless
|
|
.Va NOCLEANDEPENDS
|
|
is defined.
|
|
.It Cm distclean
|
|
Remove the port's distfiles and perform the
|
|
.Cm clean
|
|
target.
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm clean
|
|
portion recurses to dependencies unless
|
|
.Va NOCLEANDEPENDS
|
|
is defined, but the
|
|
.Cm distclean
|
|
portion never recurses
|
|
(this is perhaps a bug).
|
|
.It Cm reinstall
|
|
Use this to restore a port after using
|
|
.Xr pkg_delete 1
|
|
when you should have used
|
|
.Cm deinstall .
|
|
.It Cm deinstall
|
|
Remove an installed port from the system, similar to
|
|
.Xr pkg_delete 1 .
|
|
.It Cm package
|
|
Make a binary package for the port.
|
|
The port will be installed if it has not already been.
|
|
The package is a
|
|
.Pa .tbz
|
|
file that you can use to
|
|
install the port on other machines with
|
|
.Xr pkg_add 1 .
|
|
If the directory specified by
|
|
.Va PACKAGES
|
|
does not exist, the package will be put into the current directory.
|
|
See
|
|
.Va PKGREPOSITORY
|
|
and
|
|
.Va PKGFILE .
|
|
.It Cm readmes
|
|
Create a port's
|
|
.Pa README.html .
|
|
This can be used from
|
|
.Pa /usr/ports
|
|
to create a browsable web of all ports on your system!
|
|
.It Cm search
|
|
Search the
|
|
.Pa INDEX
|
|
file for the pattern specified by either the
|
|
.Va key
|
|
(searches the port name, comment, and dependencies) or
|
|
.Va name
|
|
(searches the port name only)
|
|
.Xr make 1
|
|
variable.
|
|
For example, one would type:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "cd /usr/ports && make search name=query"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
to find all ports whose
|
|
name matches
|
|
.Dq Li query .
|
|
Results include the matching ports' path, comment, maintainer,
|
|
build dependencies, and run dependencies.
|
|
.It Cm index
|
|
Create
|
|
.Pa /usr/ports/INDEX ,
|
|
which is used by the
|
|
.Cm pretty-print-*
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm search
|
|
targets.
|
|
While the master
|
|
.Pa INDEX
|
|
file in the CVS repository is periodically
|
|
updated, running the
|
|
.Cm index
|
|
target will ensure your
|
|
.Pa INDEX
|
|
file is up to date with your ports tree.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
You can change all of these.
