.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
2000-11-14 11:20:58 +00:00
.Fx
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
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
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Nm make Cm build
in the port directory!
The
.Pa Makefile
automatically fetches the
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
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
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Nm make Cm install
to install the application.
.Pp
2000-11-14 11:20:58 +00:00
It is possible to download and use ports from the
.Fx
repository
that are newer than the installed system; however it is important to
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
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
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00

.Sh TARGETS
Some of the targets work recursively through subdirectories.
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
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
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Cm package .
.Pp
The following targets will be run automatically by each proceeding
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
target in order.
That is,
.Cm build
will be run
(if necessary)
by
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Cm install ,
and so on all the way to
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Cm fetch .
Usually, you will only use the
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Cm install
target.
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.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
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.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
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Va NO_CHECKSUM
will skip this step.
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.It Cm depends
Install
(or compile if only compilation is necessary)
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
any dependencies of the current port.
When called by the
.Cm extract
or
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Cm fetch
targets, this is run in piecemeal as
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Cm fetch-depends , build-depends ,
etc.
Defining
.Va NO_DEPENDS
will skip this step.
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.It Cm extract
Expand the distfile into a work directory.
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.It Cm patch
Apply any patches that are necessary for the port.
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.It Cm configure
Configure the port.
Some ports will ask you questions during this stage.
See
.Va INTERACTIVE
and
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Va BATCH .
.It Cm build
Build the port.
This is the same as calling the
.Cm all
target.
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.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"
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.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.
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.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.
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.It Cm clean
Remove the expanded source code.
This recurses to dependencies unless
.Va NOCLEANDEPENDS
is defined.
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.It Cm distclean
Remove the port's distfiles and perform the
.Cm clean
target.
The
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Cm clean
portion recurses to dependencies unless
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Va NOCLEANDEPENDS
is defined, but the
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Cm distclean
portion never recurses
(this is perhaps a bug).
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.It Cm reinstall
Use this to restore a port after using
.Xr pkg_delete 1
when you should have used
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Cm deinstall .
.It Cm deinstall
Remove an installed port from the system, similar to
.Xr pkg_delete 1 .
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.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 .tgz
file that you can use to
install the port on other machines with
.Xr pkg_add 1 .
If the directory specified by
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Va PACKAGES
does not exist, the package will be put into the current directory.
See
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Va PKGREPOSITORY
and
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.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!
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.It Cm search
Search the
.Pa INDEX
file for the pattern specified by either the
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Va key
(searches the port name, comment, and dependencies) or
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Va name
(searches the port name only)
.Xr make 1
variable.
For example, one would type:
.Pp
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Dl "cd /usr/ports && make search name=query"
.Pp
to find all ports whose
name matches
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Dq Li query .
Results include the matching ports' path, comment, maintainer,
build dependencies, and run dependencies.
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.It Cm index
Create
.Pa /usr/ports/INDEX ,
which is used by the
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Cm pretty-print-*
and
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Cm search
targets.
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
While the master
.Pa INDEX
file in the CVS repository is periodically
updated, running the
2002-03-18 10:07:22 +00:00
.Cm index
target will ensure your
.Pa INDEX
file is up to date with your ports tree.
2000-12-29 09:18:45 +00:00
