make targets and their behaviors

Default make targets and their behaviors:

Default sequence for "all" is: fetch checksum extract patch configure build

fetch

Retrieves ${DISTFILES} (and ${PATCHFILES} if defined) into ${DISTDIR} as necessary.

fetch-list

Show list of files that would be retrieved by fetch.

fetch-recursive

Retrieves ${DISTFILES} (and ${PATCHFILES} if defined), for port and dependencies into ${DISTDIR} as necessary.

fetch-recursive-list

Show list of files that would be retrieved by fetch-recursive.

extract

Unpacks ${DISTFILES} into ${WRKDIR}.

patch

Apply any provided patches to the source.

configure

Runs either GNU configure, one or more local configure scripts or nothing, depending on what's available.

build

Actually compile the sources.

install

Install the results of a build.

reinstall

Install the results of a build, ignoring "already installed" flag.

deinstall

Remove the installation.

package

Create a package from an _installed_ port.

describe

Try to generate a one-line description for each port for use in INDEX files and the like.

checkpatch

Do a "patch -C" instead of a "patch". Note that it may give incorrect results if multiple patches deal with the same file.

checksum

Use distinfo to ensure that your distfiles are valid.

checksum-recursive

Run checksum in this port and all dependencies.

makesum

Generate distinfo (only do this for your own ports!).

clean

Remove ${WRKDIR} and other temporary files used for building.

clean-depends

Do a "make clean" for all dependencies.

depends

Install (or compile if only compilation is necessary) any dependencies of the
current port.
When called by the extract or fetch targets, this is run in piecemeal as fetch-depends, build-depends, etc. Defining NO_DEPENDS will skip this step.

pretty-print-run-depends-list pretty-print-build-depends-list

Print a list of all the compile and run dependencies, and dependencies of those dependencies.

distclean

Remove the port's distfile(s) and perform the clean target.

The `clean' portion recurses to dependencies unless NOCLEANDEPENDS is defined, but the `distclean' portion never recurses (this is perhaps a bug).

readmes

Create a port's README.html. This can be used from /usr/ports to create a browsable web of all ports on your system!

Search the INDEX file for the pattern specified by either the key (searches the port
name, comment, and dependencies) or name (just searches the port name) make
argument.

For example, one would type:

cd /usr/ports && make search name=query

to find all ports whose name matches `query'. Results include the matching ports' path, comment, maintainer, build dependencies, and run dependencies.

index

Create /usr/ports/INDEX, which is used by the pretty-print-* and search targets. While the master INDEX file in the CVS repository is periodically updated, running the index target will ensure your INDEX file is up to date with your ports tree.
