Name
----
makepkg.conf - makepkg configuration file


Synopsis
--------
{sysconfdir}/makepkg.conf, ~/.makepkg.conf


Description
-----------
Configuration options for makekpg are stored in makepkg.conf. This file is
sourced, so you can include any special compiler flags you wish to use. This is
helpful for building for different architectures, or with different
optimizations.

*NOTE:* This does not guarantee that all package Makefiles will use your
exported variables. Some of them are non-standard...

The default file is fairly well commented, so it may be easiest to simply follow
directions given there for customization.


Options
-------
*FTPAGENT="*'/path/to/command [options]'*"*::
    Sets the download agent used to fetch source files specified with a URL
    in the manlink:PKGBUILD[5] file. Flags can be specified as well; the
    download URL is then placed on the end of the command.

*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 unless you know what
    you are doing.

*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.

*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.

*BUILDENV=(*'fakeroot !distcc color !ccache'*)*::
    This array contains four 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 place an "!" at the
    front of the option. Each works as follows:

    *fakeroot*::
        Allow building packages as a non-root user. This is highly
        recommended.

    *distcc*::
        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.

*DISTCC_HOSTS="*'host1' ...*"*::
    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.

*OPTIONS=(*'strip !docs libtool emptydirs'*)*::
    This array contains four options that affect the default packaging. All
    four 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 place an "!" at the front
    of the option. Each works as follows:

    *strip*::
        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 and info directories. If you wish to delete doc and info
        directories, specify "!docs" in the array.

    *libtool*::
        Leave libtool (.la) files in packages. Specify "!libtool" to
        remove them.

    *emptydirs*::
        Leave empty directories in packages.

*INTEGRITY_CHECK=(*'check1' ...*)*::
    File integrity checks to use. Multiple checks may be specified; this
    affects both generation and checking. The current valid options are:
    md5, sha1, sha256, sha384, and sha512.

*DOC_DIRS=(*'usr/{,share/}{info,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.

*PKGDEST=*'/path/to/folder'::
    If this value is not set, packages will by default be placed in the
    current directory (location of the manlink:PKGBUILD[5]). Many people
    like to keep all their packages in one place so this option allows
    this behavior. A common location is "/home/packages".

*SRCDEST=*'/path/to/folder'::
    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.

*PACKAGER="*'John Doe <john@doe.com>'*"*::
    This value is used when querying a package to see who was the builder.
    It is recommended you change this to your name and email address.
