NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

--build=triplet

The platform triplet for the machine the port is built on. (Default: Automatically detected.)

--build-id=build-id

The overall build identifier, such as a git commit hash, forwarded to the tix-create(8) and tix-release(8) release invocations.

--cache-package

Skip the build if the binary package already exists and is the right version.

-C, --collection=collection

Install the binary package into this collection created with tix-create(8). (Default: --sysroot plus --prefix)

--destination=directory

The binary package is placed inside this directory.

--download-package

Download an existing binary package from the collection using tix-fetch(8) and use it if it is the right version as per --cache-package.

--distclean

Clean the port for distribution. Remove the extraction and all the metadata files. If DEVELOPMENT is true in the port(5), then emit a warning, and do nothing to avoid deleting any in-progress work.

--end=step

Stop the build after this step:

start

The start step before anything has happened.

download

Download the source code.

extract

Extract the source code and apply patches.

tix-build-start

The start step in tix-build(8).

clean, pre-clean

Clean the source directory before the build.

configure

Configure the port.

build

Build the port.

install

Install the port into the DESTDIR.

post-install

Run the post-installation script.

post-clean

Clean the source code after the port.

package

Create the binary package.

tix-build-end

The end step in tix-build(8).

strip

Strip the executables in the binary package.

diff

Regenerate the patches if in development.

tix-install

Install the binary package.

end

The end step after everything has happened. (Default)

--exec-prefix=prefix

The prefix where architecture dependent files are installed. (Default: --prefix)

--generation=generation

Create a binary package in the format of this tix generation level. (Default: 3)

--host=triplet

The platform triplet for the machine the port will run on. (Default: --build)

--hosts=triplets

Build binary packages for each --host triplet in the space-separated triplets list. The --sysroots option is useful for cross-compilation.

--make=path

Which make(1) to use. (Default: MAKE if set and otherwise make(1))

--makeflags=makeflags

Override the MAKEFLAGS variable inherited by make.

--metadata

After building the packages, run the tix-repository(8) metadata command to generate the tix repository metadata from the binary packages.

--mirror=url

First attempt to download the upstream releases from the port's source code mirror at url before attempting the upstream site. The files are copied from the filesystem if the url has no schema.

--mirror-directory=directory

Place the downloaded upstream releases in this directory in the layout that can be used as a mirror for the --mirror option. (Default: port.mirror)

--mirrors=url

The space-separated URLs to the mirrors in the release information. Forwarded to the tix-repository(8) release invocation. This option is usually not used, as the mirror feature should be used in a tix-repository(8) channel instead.

--packages=packages

Build these packages as evaluated by tix-list-packages(8). The defaullt is ‘all!!’.

--prefix=prefix

Build the port into this prefix. (Default: The empty prefix designating the root directory)

--public-key=path

The public key to use for the --sign option. Forwarded to the tix-repository(8) sign invocation.

--randomize

Build the ports in a random order while still respecting the build dependencies.

--release=release

The name of the release. Forwarded to the tix-repository(8) release invocation.

--release-directory=release

Place the binary package inside the $release/repository/$host directory, if the --destination and --repository options are not set.

--release-key=file

Copy the release public key from the file, forwarded to the tix-create(8) invocation.

--release-info

Generate the top-level release information by invoking tix-repository(8) release. Implies the --metadata option and requires the --build-id, --release, and --version options to be set.

--release-url=url

The url to the location where the release being built will be published, file, forwarded to the tix-create(8) invocation.

--repository=repository

Place the binary package inside the $repository/$host directory, if the --destination option is not set.

--secret-key=path

The secret key to use for the --sign option. Forwarded to the tix-repository(8) sign invocation.

--sign

Sign the top-level release information by invoking tix-repository(8) sign. Implies the --metadata and --release-info option and requires the --build-id, --public-key, --release, --secret-key, and --version options to be set.

--start=step

Start the build at this step (see --end). (Default: start)

--sysroot=directory

The system root to use while building and installing the port. The toolchain is wrapped to transparently use this sysroot during the build.

--sysroot-download-packages=packages

Create a collection with tix-create(8) inside the system root if needed by importing the configuration from the / collection, and then download and install the packages in the space-separated packages list along with their runtime dependencies. The system package is useful to get the headers and libraries for the base system.

--sysroots=directory

In combination with --hosts, use system roots named after the triplets in the directory for cross-compilation.

--tar=path

Which tar(1) to use during the build. (Default: tar(1))

--target=triplet

The port's outputs targets this platform triplet. (Default: --host)

--tmp=directory

Place temporary files in this directory. (Default: TMPDIR if set otherwise /tmp)

--version=version

The version number of the release. Forwarded to the tix-repository(8) release invocation.
