Preferences, how to specify
Hi All,
At many place I see mentions of specifying preferences
for some part of PKGSRC.
Unfortunately, even if I have looked at many places (Web, pkgsrc site, man page), I have
not found documentation about the specifying of the preferences or examples of their usage.
If I pass the command "bootstrap --help" I get the following output
and one can notice that it seems possible to specify preferences.
Usage: ./bootstrap
[ --abi [32|64] ]
[ --binary-kit <tarball> ]
[ --binary-macpkg <pkg> ]
[ --compiler <compiler> ]
[ --cwrappers <auto|yes|no> ]
[ --full ]
[ --gzip-binary-kit <tarball> ]
[ --help ]
[ --make-jobs <num> ]
[ --mk-fragment <mk.conf> ]
[ --pkgdbdir <pkgdbdir> ]
[ --pkginfodir <pkginfodir> ]
[ --pkgmandir <pkgmandir> ]
[ --prefer-pkgsrc <list|yes|no> ]
[ --prefix <prefix> ]
[ --preserve-path ]
[ --quiet ]
[ --sysconfdir <sysconfdir> ]
[ --unprivileged | --ignore-user-check ]
[ --varbase <varbase> ]
[ --workdir <workdir> ]
I have not succeeded however to specify some preferences nor to list
what preferences can be specified. By the way, I have not found
documentation about some of the parameters of the "bootstrap"
command (for instance --cwrappers, --compiler <compiler>, --full).
It will be probably useful to prefer some tools (like "libtools") of the underlying distribution
since using (and doing the recompilation which is sometime quite complicated) the similar/same tools
of PKGSRC is sometime very difficult and ever time consuming.
I hope I have not missed some obvious documentation and I would appreciate if
somebody could give me some pointers on how to use the preferences system.
Thanks,
