NAME #

bsd.port.arch.mk - ports tree Makefile fragment, concerned with arch issues

SYNOPSIS #

# Set up such as
MULTI_PACKAGES = -main -special
ONLY_FOR_ARCHS-special = i386

.include <bsd.port.arch.mk>

#some more lines such as
.if ${BUILD_PACKAGES:M-special}
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --enable-special
.endif

.include <bsd.port.mk>

DESCRIPTION #

bsd.port.arch.mk holds the logic used for arch-dependent builds in the ports tree. It is normally included as part of the larger bsd.port.mk(5), but it is also available separately for ports that require it.

  • multi-packages ports that need to remove some subpackages based on pseudo-flavors or architecture constraints.

  • ports that need to make explicit tests on arch-dependent constants.

bsd.port.arch.mk assumes the following variables are already defined:

MULTI_PACKAGES

FLAVOR

FLAVORS

PSEUDO_FLAVORS

NOT_FOR_ARCHS[-<sub>]

ONLY_FOR_ARCHS[-<sub>]

and optionally, if the default won’t be appropriate

IGNORE[-<sub>]

It will set up the following variables for use in the rest of the Makefile:

ARCH

ALL_ARCHS

APM_ARCHS

BE_ARCHS

CLANG_ARCHS

COMPILER_VERSION

CX11_ARCHS

DEBUGINFO_ARCHS

GCC3_ARCHS

GCC4_ARCHS

GCC49_ARCHS

GO_ARCHS

LE_ARCHS

LIBCXX

LLD_ARCHS

LLD_EMUL

LLVM_ARCHS

LP64_ARCHS

MONO_ARCHS

OCAML_NATIVE_ARCHS

OCAML_NATIVE_DYNLINK_ARCHS

PROPERTIES

RUST_ARCHS

IGNORE-<sub>

BUILD_PACKAGES

Most importantly, BUILD_PACKAGES will be correctly set up, taking ONLY_FOR_ARCHS[-<sub>] and NOT_FOR_ARCHS[-<sub>] limitations into account, as well as pseudo-flavors.

Note that thanks to the way make(1) variables are evaluated, a setup such as

ONLY_FOR_ARCHS-foo = ${LP64_ARCHS}
.include <bsd.port.arch.mk>

is perfectly admissible, since ONLY_FOR_ARCHS-foo will be used only after LP64_ARCHS is defined.

Also, you do not need to explicitly include bsd.port.arch.mk just to define

ONLY_FOR_ARCHS = ${LP64_ARCHS}

since bsd.port.mk does define arch constants before evaluating ONLY_FOR_ARCHS. A more detailed description of each variable is available in bsd.port.mk(5).

All the constant values ARCH, ALL_ARCHS, COMPILER_VERSION, GCC3_ARCHS, GCC4_ARCHS, LP64_ARCHS and PROPERTIES are also available from MODULES and from ${.CURDIR}/../Makefile.inc.
