-.TH makepkg 8 "January 30, 2006" "Frugalware Developer Manual" ""
-.SH NAME
-makepkg \- package build utility
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBmakepkg [options]\fP
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBmakepkg\fP will build packages for you. All it needs is
-a build-capable linux platform, wget, and some build scripts. The advantage
-to a script-based build is that you only really do the work once. Once you
-have the build script for a package, you just need to run makepkg and it
-will do the rest: download and validate source files, check dependencies,
-configure the buildtime settings, build the package, install the package
-into a temporary root, make customizations, generate meta-info, and package
-the whole thing up for \fBpacman\fP to use.
-
-\fBmakeworld\fP can be used to rebuild an entire package group or the
-entire build tree. See \fBmakeworld --help\fP for syntax.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B "\-b, \-\-builddeps"
-Build missing dependencies from source. When makepkg finds missing build-time or
-run-time dependencies, it will look for the dependencies' FrugalBuild files under
-$fst_root (set in your /etc/repoman.conf). If it finds them it will
-run another copy of makepkg to build and install the missing dependencies.
-The child makepkg calls will be made with the \fB-b\fP and \fB-i\fP options.
-.TP
-.B "\-B, \-\-noccache"
-Do not use ccache during build.
-.TP
-.B "\-c, \-\-clean"
-Clean up leftover work files/directories after a successful build.
-.TP
-.B "\-C, \-\-cleancache"
-Used with --chroot cleans up the chroot which means removing unnecessary
-packages from it. If used twice, then it removes all source files from
-the cache directory and cleans up the full compiler cache to free up diskspace.
-.TP
-.B "\-d, \-\-nodeps"
-Do not perform any dependency checks. This will let you override/ignore any
-dependencies required. There's a good chance this option will break the build
-process if all of the dependencies aren't installed.
-.TP
-.B "\-D <pkgname>"
-Clean up only one package's compiler cache. (Uses ccache -C.)
-.TP
-.B "\-e, \-\-noextract"
-Do not extract source files. Instead, use whatever already exists in the
-src/ directory. This is handy if you want to go into src and manually
-patch/tweak code, then make a package out of the result.
-.TP
-.B "\-f, \-\-force"
-\fBmakepkg\fP will not build a package if a \fIpkgname-pkgver-pkgrel-arch.fpm\fP
-file already exists in the build directory. You can override this behaviour with
-the \fB--force\fP switch.
-.TP
-.B "\-G, \-\-genmd5"
-Download all source files (if required) and use \fImd5sum\fP to generate md5 hashes
-for each of them. You can then redirect the output into your FrugalBuild for source
-validation (makepkg -G >>FrugalBuild).
-.TP
-.B "\-g, \-\-gensha1"
-Download all source files (if required) and use \fIsha1sum\fP to generate sha1 hashes
-for each of them. You can then redirect the output into your FrugalBuild for source
-validation (makepkg -g >>FrugalBuild).
-.TP
-.B "\-h, \-\-help"
-Output syntax and commandline options.
-.TP
-.B "\-i, \-\-install"
-Install/Upgrade the package after a successful build.
-.TP
-.B "\-j <jobs>"
-Sets MAKEFLAGS="-j<jobs>" before building the package. This is useful for overriding
-the MAKEFLAGS setting in /etc/makepkg.conf.
-.TP
-.B "\-L, \-\-nolastmod"
-Disable updating the Last modified line.
-.TP
-.B "\-k, \-\-logging"
-Logging package build process
-.TP
-.B "\-l <pkgname>"
-Download the package's buildscript before starting the build. This is useful
-if you do not want to do a full 'repoman upd' nor want to download manually the
-buildscript.
-.TP
-.B "\-m, \-\-nocolor"
-Disable color in output messages
-.TP
-.B "\-n, \-\-nostrip"
-Do not strip binaries and libraries.
-.TP
-.B "\-o, \-\-nobuild"
-Download and extract files only, do not build.
-.TP
-.B "\-p <buildscript>"
-Read the package script \fI<buildscript>\fP instead of the default (\fIFrugalBuild\fP).
-.TP
-.B "\-r, \-\-rmdeps"
-Upon successful build, remove any dependencies installed by makepkg/pacman during
-dependency auto-resolution (using \fB-b\fP or \fB-s\fP).
-.TP
-.B "\-R, \-\-chroot"
-Build the package in a chroot environment.
-.TP
-.B "\-s, \-\-syncdeps"
-Install missing dependencies using pacman. When makepkg finds missing build-time
-or run-time dependencies, it will run pacman to try and resolve them. If successful,
-pacman will download the missing packages from a package repository and
-install them for you.
-.TP
-.B "\-t <tree>"
-When building in a chroot (using -R) you may want to build packages for a
-version other than the host one. Using this option, it's possible to build
-packages for "stable" while the host system is "current" and vica versa.
-.TP
-.B "\-u, \-\-noup2date"
-Do not check for newer version before starting build. Normally makepkg will
-prevent you from building obsolete source by mistake. If you know what you are
-doing, you can disable this feature with this switch.
-.B "\-S, \-\-sudosync"
-Install missing dependencies using pacman and sudo. This is the same as \fB-s\fP
-except that makepkg will call pacman with sudo. This means you don't have to
-build as root to use dependency auto-resolution.
-.TP
-.TP
-.B "\-w <destdir>"
-Write the resulting package file to the directory \fI<destdir>\fP instead of the
-current working directory.
-.TP
-.B "\-\-noconfirm"
-When calling pacman to resolve dependencies or conflicts, makepkg can pass
-the \fI--noconfirm\fP option to it so it does not wait for any user
-input before proceeding with operations.
-.TP
-.B "\-\-noprogressbar"
-When calling pacman, makepkg can pass the \fI--noprogressbar\fP option to it.
-This is useful if one is directing makepkg's output to a non-terminal (ie, a file).
-
-.SH CONFIGURATION
-Configuration options are stored in \fI/etc/makepkg.conf\fP. This file is parsed
-as a bash script, so you can export any special compiler flags you wish
-to use. This is helpful for building for different architectures, or with
-different optimizations.
-
-\fBNOTE:\fP This does not guarantee that all package Makefiles will use
-your exported variables. Some of them are flaky...
