netbsd packages – from source

From source

setup your build env

ls -lF /usr/pkgsrc/mk/defaults/mk.conf
vi /etc/mk.conf

MAKE_JOBS=8
ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES=+nmap
X11_TYPE=modular
SSLBASE=/usr/local/ssl

grab the latest tarball

cd /usr/
ls -lhF | grep pkgsrc

ftp -a http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc.tar.gz
nice progress -zf pkgsrc.tar.gz tar xf -

#gnu/linux
#wget http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc.tar.gz
#nice tar xzf pkgsrc.tar.gz

In case you are on gnu/linux or the pkgsrc-current tree is too recent compared to your NetBSD release

unset PKG_PATH
cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/
./bootstrap

Fix a package’s deps by rebuilding it and look at your options

unset PKG_PATH
cd /usr/pkgsrc/mail/alpine/
cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/wget/
make show-depends
make show-options
make clean clean-depends
/usr/bin/make help topic=make_jobs

vi /etc/mk.conf #bootstrapped
vi /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf #natural

MAKE_JOBS=8 

make
make package
#make install

Maintenance

clean up the tree

find /usr/pkgsrc -name work -maxdepth 3 | xargs rm -rf

get rid of recently installed packages

ls -ltr /var/db/pkg/
ls -1tr /var/db/pkg/ | sed -rn '/py27-expat-2.7.16/,$p' | sed '$d'
pkg_delete `ls -1tr /var/db/pkg/ | sed -rn '/py27-expat-2.7.16/,$p' | sed '$d'`
ls -ltr /var/db/pkg/

start from scratch the soft way

echo `pkg_info | awk '{print $1}'`
pkg_delete `pkg_info | awk '{print $1}'`
pkg_info
find /usr/pkg/
find /var/db/pkg/

the brutal way

rm -rf /usr/pkg/
rm -rf /var/db/pkg/*

===> Building for gmake-4.2.1nb1
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /usr/pkgsrc/devel/gmake/work/make-4.2.1/config/missing aclocal-1.15 -I config
/usr/pkgsrc/devel/gmake/work/make-4.2.1/config/missing: aclocal-1.15: not found
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.15' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <http://www.perl.org/>

==> use binaries for automake autoconf gmake and build alpine and wget

and then for alpine one gets

undefined reference to `tputs'
