MKPKG.CONF

Section 5

build configuration for mkpkg

Synopsis

/etc/mkpkg.conf

Description

mkpkg.conf

is sourced as a shell script by mkpkg(8) during the shell(), build(), and post_build() hooks. The extract() and patch() hooks do not source this file. It defines compiler flags, parallel jobs, and directory paths for the build system.

Variables

Compiler

CC: C compiler. Default: clang .
CXX: C++ compiler. Default: clang++ .

Flags

CFLAGS: C compiler flags.
CXXFLAGS: C++ compiler flags. Typically set to $CFLAGS .
LDFLAGS: Linker flags.
CPPFLAGS: Preprocessor flags.
PKG_CONFIG_PATH: Colon-separated list of pkg-config directories.
MAKEFLAGS: Flags passed to make (1). Commonly set to -j $(nproc) for parallel builds.

Build Directories

CARGO_HOME: Rust cargo cache directory. Default: $SRC/.cargo .
GOPATH: Go module directory. Default: $SRC/.go .

mkpkg Directory Settings

These are

not

exported as environment variables. They are parsed directly by the mkpkg binary.

MKPKG_SOURCE_DIR: Directory for downloaded source files. Default: the port directory.
MKPKG_PACKAGE_DIR: Directory for built package archives. Default: the port directory.
MKPKG_WORK_DIR: Build work directory. If set to an absolute path not ending in /work , mkpkg appends /pkgmk_ PID for unique tmpfs builds. Default: ./work .
MKPKG_TMP_DIR: Temporary directory for signature verification. Default: /dev/shm .

Compression

MKPKG_COMPRESSION_MODE: Package archive compression. One of: gz, bz2, xz, lz, zst . Default: gz .

Signature Keys

MKPKG_SECRET_KEY: Path to the signify secret key for signing. Only needed by maintainers who sign ports. Default: /etc/ports/keys/opentux.sec .

The public key is no longer configured here. It is embedded in each MAKEPKG via the signify() function. See MAKEPKG(5).

Build Options

MKPKG_IGNORE_FOOTPRINT: Skip footprint check. yes / no . Default: no .
MKPKG_IGNORE_NEW: Treat new files in footprint as OK. yes / no . Default: no .
MKPKG_IGNORE_CHECKSUMS: Skip checksum verification. yes / no . Default: no .
MKPKG_IGNORE_SIGNATURE: Skip signature verification. yes / no . Default: no .
MKPKG_NO_STRIP: Disable binary stripping. yes / no . Default: no .
