MAKEPKG.CONF(5)			 Pacman	Manual		       MAKEPKG.CONF(5)

NAME
       makepkg.conf - makepkg configuration file

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/makepkg.conf, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pacman/makepkg.conf,
       ~/.makepkg.conf

DESCRIPTION
       Configuration options for makepkg are stored in makepkg.conf. This file
       is sourced so you can include any special compiler flags	you wish to
       use. This is helpful when building for different	architectures or with
       different optimizations.	However, only the variables described below
       are exported to the build environment.

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

       The system-wide configuration file is found in /etc/makepkg.conf.
       Individual options can be overridden (or	added to) on a per-user	basis
       in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pacman/makepkg.conf or ~/.makepkg.conf, with	the
       former taking priority.

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

OPTIONS
       DLAGENTS=('protocol::/path/to/command [options]'	...)
	   Sets	the download agents used to fetch source files specified with
	   a URL in the	PKGBUILD(5) file. Options can be specified for each
	   command as well, and	any protocol can have a	download agent.	Any
	   spaces in option arguments are required to be escaped to avoid
	   being split.	Several	examples are provided in the default
	   makepkg.conf.

	   If present, %u will be replaced with	the download URL. Otherwise,
	   the download	URL will be placed on the end of the command. If
	   present, %o will be replaced	with the local file name, plus a
	   ".part" extension, which allows makepkg to handle resuming file
	   downloads.

       VCSCLIENTS=('protocol::package' ...)
	   Sets	the packages required to fetch version controlled source
	   files. When required, makepkg will check that these packages	are
	   installed or	are included in	the depends or makedepends arrays in
	   the PKGBUILD.

       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 this unless you
	   know	what you are doing. This can be	commented out by most users if
	   desired.

       CPPFLAGS="cppflags"
	   Flags used for the C	preprocessor; see CFLAGS for more information.

       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.

       LDFLAGS="ldflags"
	   Flags used for the linker. Several options may be specified with
	   common usage	resembling "-Wl,--hash-style=gnu". Read	ld(1) for more
	   details on available	linker flags.

       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.

       DEBUG_CFLAGS="debug_cflags"
	   Additional compiler flags appended to CFLAGS	for use	in debugging.
	   Usually this	would include: "-g". Read gcc(1) for more details on
	   the wide variety of compiler	flags available.

       DEBUG_CXXFLAGS="debug_cxxflags"
	   Debug flags used for	the C++	compiler; see DEBUG_CFLAGS for more
	   info.

       BUILDENV=(!distcc !color	!ccache	check !sign)
	   This	array contains 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 add an "!"
	   at the front	of the option. If an option is specified multiple
	   times, the final value takes	precedence. Each option	works as
	   follows:

	   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.

	   check
	       Run the check() function	if present in the PKGBUILD. This can
	       be enabled or disabled for individual packages through the use
	       of makepkg's --check and	--nocheck options, respectively.

	   sign
	       Generate	a PGP signature	file using GnuPG. This will execute
	       gpg --detach-sign --use-agent on	the built package to generate
	       a detached signature file, using	the GPG	agent, if it is
	       available. The signature	file will be the entire	file name of
	       the package with	a ".sig" extension.

       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.

       BUILDDIR="/path/to/directory"
	   If this value is not	set, packages will, by default,	be built in
	   subdirectories of the directory that	makepkg	is called from.	This
	   option allows setting the build location to another directory.
	   Incorrect use of $startdir in a PKGBUILD may	cause building with
	   this	option to fail.

       GPGKEY=""
	   Specify a key to use	for GPG	signing	instead	of the default key in
	   the keyring.	Can be overridden with makepkg's --key option.

       OPTIONS=(!strip docs libtool staticlibs emptydirs !zipman !purge
       !debug)
	   This	array contains options that affect default packaging. They 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 add an "!"
	   at the front	of the option. If an option is specified multiple
	   times, the final value takes	precedence. Each option	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	directories. If	you wish to delete doc directories,
	       specify !docs in	the array. The directories affected are
	       specified by the	DOC_DIRS variable.

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

	   staticlibs
	       Leave static library (.a) files in packages. Specify
	       !staticlibs to remove them, if they have	a shared counterpart.

	   emptydirs
	       Leave empty directories in packages.

	   zipman
	       Compress	manual (man and	info) pages with gzip. The directories
	       affected	are specified by the MAN_DIRS variable.

	   purge
	       Remove files specified by the PURGE_TARGETS variable from the
	       package.

	   debug
	       Add the user-specified debug flags as specified in DEBUG_CFLAGS
	       and DEBUG_CXXFLAGS to their counterpart buildflags. Creates a
	       separate	package	containing the debug symbols when used with
	       `strip'.

       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, sha224, sha256, sha384, and sha512.

       STRIP_BINARIES="--strip-all"
	   Options to be used when stripping binaries. See strip(1) for
	   details.

       STRIP_SHARED="--strip-unneeded"
	   Options to be used when stripping shared libraries or PIE
	   executables.	See strip(1) for details.

       STRIP_STATIC="--strip-debug"
	   Options to be used when stripping static libraries. See strip(1)
	   for details.

       MAN_DIRS=({usr{,/local}{,/share},opt/*}/{man,info} ...)
	   If zipman is	specified in the OPTIONS array,	this variable will
	   instruct makepkg where to look to compress manual (man and info)
	   pages. 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.

       DOC_DIRS=(usr/{,share/}{doc,gtk-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.

       PURGE_TARGETS=(usr/{,share}/info/dir .podlist *.pod...)
	   If purge is specified in the	OPTIONS	array, this variable will
	   instruct makepkg which files	to remove from the package. This is
	   useful for index files that are added by multiple packages.

       DBGSRCDIR="/usr/src/debug"
	   If strip and	debug are specified in the OPTIONS array, this
	   variable will instruct makepkg where	to place source	files for
	   installed binaries. The binaries will be modified to	link this
	   directory for the debugger search path.

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

       SRCDEST="/path/to/directory"
	   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.

       SRCPKGDEST="/path/to/directory"
	   If this value is not	set, source package files will be stored in in
	   the current directory. Many people like to keep all source package
	   files in a central location for easy	cleanup, so this path can be
	   set here.

       LOGDEST="/path/to/directory"
	   If this value is not	set, log files are written to the current
	   directory. This centralizes the log location, facilitating cleanup
	   and compression.

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

       COMPRESSGZ="(gzip -c -f -n)", COMPRESSBZ2="(bzip2 -c -f)",
       COMPRESSXZ="(xz -c -z -)", COMPRESSLZO"(lzop -q)", COMPRESSLRZ="(lrzip
       -q)", COMPRESSZ="(compress -c -f)"
	   Sets	the command and	options	used when compressing compiled or
	   source packages in the named	format.

       PKGEXT=".pkg.tar.gz", SRCEXT=".src.tar.gz"
	   Sets	the compression	used when making compiled or source packages.
	   Valid suffixes are .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz,	.tar.lzo,
	   .tar.lrz, and .tar.Z. Do not	touch these unless you know what you
	   are doing.
