## The XBPS source packages collection
|
|
|
|
This repository contains the XBPS source packages collection to build binary packages
|
|
for the Void Linux distribution.
|
|
|
|
To start using it first you'll need some external dependencies:
|
|
|
|
- bash
|
|
- fakeroot (only required by the bootstrap target)
|
|
- xbps >= 0.38
|
|
|
|
Make sure your user is added to the `xbuilder` group to be able to use `xbps-uchroot(8)`,
|
|
otherwise `xbps-src` won't work correctly.
|
|
|
|
Type:
|
|
|
|
$ ./xbps-src -h
|
|
|
|
to see all available targets/options and start building any available package
|
|
in the `srcpkgs` directory.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
The `etc/defaults.conf` file contains the possible settings that can be overrided
|
|
through the `etc/conf` configuration file for the `xbps-src` utility; if that file
|
|
does not exist, will try to read configuration settings from `~/.xbps-src.conf`.
|
|
|
|
If you want to customize default `CFLAGS`, `CXXFLAGS` and `LDFLAGS`, don't override
|
|
those defined in `etc/defaults.conf`, append to them instead via `etc/conf` i.e:
|
|
|
|
$ echo 'XBPS_CFLAGS+=" your flags here "' >> etc/conf
|
|
$ echo 'XBPS_LDFLAGS+=" your flags here "' >> etc/conf
|
|
|
|
#### Virtual packages
|
|
|
|
The `etc/defaults.virtual` file contains the default replacements for virtual packages,
|
|
used as dependencies in the source packages tree.
|
|
|
|
If you want to customize those replacements, copy `etc/defaults.virtual` to `etc/virtual`
|
|
and edit it accordingly to your needs.
