1.3. Ports

This instructions are done inside chroot.

1.3.1. Ports Layout

Make sure follow directories exist;

	#  mkdir /usr/ports
	#  mkdir -p /usr/ports/{distfiles,packages,work,pkgbuild}

1.3.2. Build as user

For more information read Fakeroot Ports. Add a user that will be used by ports tools, this example pkgmk;

        # useradd -U -M -d /usr/ports -s /bin/false pkgmk

You can add your self to group pkgmk. Check if members of this group are under tpe protection.

        # usermod -a -G pkgmk c9admin

	#  chown pkgmk /usr/ports/{distfiles,packages,work,pkgbuild}
	#  chown pkgmk:pkgmk /usr/ports/pkgbuild
	#  chmod g+w /usr/ports/pkgbuild

Configure to compile in ram average of 3GB is recommended for core while firefox need at least 30G. Discover id of pkgmk user;

        # id pkgmk
        uid=102(pkgmk) gid=102(pkgmk) groups=102(pkgmk)

Edit fstab, change uid to id of pkgmk, this example 102;

        pkgmk /usr/ports/work tmpfs size=30G,uid=102,defaults,mode=0750 0 0

1.3.3. Configure pkgmk

Read 4.5. Adjust/Configure the Package Build Process to take advantage of your specific hardware. Packages build with native flag will not run on different hardware. This is the best choice if you want gcc to find the best settings based on your hardware.

Edit /etc/pkgmk.conf, remove pipe from compiler flags and let the system get from nproc how many cpu's it can use for compiling;

        #
        # /etc/pkgmk.conf: pkgmk(8) configuration
        #

        export CFLAGS="-O2 -g -march=x86-64 -pipe"
        export CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

        # export MAKEFLAGS="-j2"

        case ${PKGMK_ARCH} in
                "64"|"")
                        ;;
                "32")
                        export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -m32"
                        export CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -m32"
                        export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -m32"
                        export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="/usr/lib32/pkgconfig"
                        ;;
                *)
                        echo "Unknown architecture selected! Exiting."
                        exit 1
                        ;;
        esac

        #PKGMK_SOURCE_MIRRORS=(http://hive.gnu.systems/ports/distfiles/)
        # PKGMK_SOURCE_DIR="$PWD"
        PKGMK_SOURCE_DIR="/usr/ports/distfiles"
        # PKGMK_PACKAGE_DIR="$PWD"
        PKGMK_PACKAGE_DIR="/usr/ports/packages"
        # PKGMK_WORK_DIR="$PWD/work"
        PKGMK_WORK_DIR="/usr/ports/work/$name"
        # PKGMK_DOWNLOAD="no"
        # PKGMK_IGNORE_FOOTPRINT="no"
        # PKGMK_IGNORE_NEW="no"
        # PKGMK_NO_STRIP="no"
        # PKGMK_DOWNLOAD_PROG="wget"
        # PKGMK_WGET_OPTS=""
        # PKGMK_CURL_OPTS=""
        # PKGMK_COMPRESSION_MODE="gz"

        # End of file

If you want native build change the above example to;

        export CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -mtune=native"

Check toolchain for more options on how packages are build.

1.3.4. Configure prt-get

Edit /etc/prt-get.conf;

        # note: the order matters: the package found first is used
