They can add dependencies, change building behavior, add metadata to packages, and so on, all by selecting simple, preset values. Each section in this chapter describes a possible value for USES, along with its possible arguments. Arguments are appeneded to the value after a colon (:). Multiple arguments are separated by commas (,). Using Multiple Values USES= bison perl Adding an Argument USES= tar:xz Adding Multiple Arguments USES= drupal:7,theme Mixing it All Together USES= pgsql:9.3+ cpe python:2.7,build <literal>7z</literal> Possible arguments: (none), p7zip, partial Extract using &man.7z.1; instead of &man.bsdtar.1; and sets EXTRACT_SUFX=.7z. The p7zip option forces a dependency on the 7z from archivers/p7zip if the one from the base system is not able to extract the files. EXTRACT_SUFX is not changed if the partial option is used, this can be used if the main distribution file does not have a .7z extension. <literal>ada</literal> Possible arguments: (none), 5, 6 Depends on an Ada-capable compiler, and sets CC accordingly. Defaults to use gcc 5 from ports. Use the :X version option to force building with a different version. <literal>autoreconf</literal> Possible arguments: (none), build Runs autoreconf. It encapsulates the aclocal, autoconf, autoheader, automake, autopoint, and libtoolize commands. Each command applies to ${AUTORECONF_WRKSRC}/configure.ac or its old name, ${AUTORECONF_WRKSRC}/configure.in. If configure.ac defines subdirectories with their own configure.ac using AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS, autoreconf will recursively update those as well. The :build argument only adds build time dependencies on those tools but does not run autoreconf. A port can set AUTORECONF_WRKSRC if WRKSRC does not contain the path to configure.ac. <literal>blaslapack</literal> Possible arguments: (none), atlas, netlib (default), gotoblas, openblas Adds dependencies on Blas / Lapack libraries. <literal>bdb</literal> Possible arguments: (none), 48, 5 (default), 6 Add dependency on the Berkeley DB library. Default to databases/db5. It can also depend on databases/db48 when using the :48 argument or databases/db6 with :6. It is possible to declare a range of acceptable values, :48+ finds the highest installed version, and falls back to 4.8 if nothing else is installed. INVALID_BDB_VER can be used to specify versions which do not work with this port. The framework exposes the following variables to the port: BDB_LIB_NAME The name of the Berkeley DB library. For example, when using databases/db5, it contains db-5.3. BDB_LIB_CXX_NAME The name of the Berkeley DB C++ library. For example, when using databases/db5, it contains db_cxx-5.3. BDB_INCLUDE_DIR The location of the Berkeley DB include directory. For example, when using databases/db5, it will contain ${LOCALBASE}/include/db5. BDB_LIB_DIR The location of the Berkeley DB library directory. For example, when using databases/db5, it contains ${LOCALBASE}/lib. BDB_VER The detected Berkeley DB version. For example, if using USES=bdb:48+ and Berkeley DB 5 is installed, it contains 5. databases/db48 is deprecated and unsupported. It must not be used by any port. <literal>bison</literal> Possible arguments: (none), build, run, both Uses devel/bison By default, with no arguments or with the build argument, it implies bison is a build-time dependency, run implies a run-time dependency, and both implies both run-time and build-time dependencies. <literal>cabal</literal> Ports should not be created for Haskell libraries, see for more information. Possible arguments: (none), hpack Sets default values and targets used to build Haskell software using Cabal. A build dependency on the Haskell compiler port (GHC) is added. If hpack argument is given, a build dependency on devel/hs-hpack is added and hpack is invoked at configuration step to generate .cabal file. The framework provides the following variables: USE_CABAL If the software uses Haskell dependencies, list them in this variable. Each item should be present on Hackage and be listed in form packagename-0.1.2. Dependencies can have revisions, which are specified after the _ symbol. Automatic generation of dependency list is supported, see . CABAL_FLAGS List of flags to be passed to cabal-install during the configuring and building stage. The flags are passed verbatim. EXECUTABLES List of executable files installed by the port. Default value: ${PORTNAME}. Items from this list are automatically added to pkg-plist. SKIP_CABAL_PLIST If defined, do not add items from ${EXECUTABLES} to pkg-plist. opt_USE_CABAL Adds items to ${USE_CABAL} depending on opt option. opt_EXECUTABLES Adds items to ${EXECUTABLES} depending on opt option. opt_CABAL_FLAGS If is enabled, append the value to ${CABAL_FLAGS}. Otherwise, append -value to disable the flag. FOO_DATADIR_VARS For an executable named FOO list Haskell packages, whose data files should be accessible by the executable. <literal>cargo</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Uses Cargo for configuring, building, and testing. It can be used to port Rust applications that use the Cargo build system. For more information see . <literal>charsetfix</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Prevents the port from installing charset.alias. This must be installed only by converters/libiconv. CHARSETFIX_MAKEFILEIN can be set to a path relative to WRKSRC if charset.alias is not installed by ${WRKSRC}/Makefile.in. <literal>cmake</literal> Possible arguments: (none), insource, noninja, run Uses CMake for configuring and building. By default an out-of-source build is performed, leaving the sources in WRKSRC free from build artifacts. With the insource argument, an in-source build will be performed instead. Setting it should be the exception when a regular out-of-source build does not work. By default Ninja is used for the build. In some cases this does not work correctly. With the noninja argument, the build will fallback to using regular make for builds. It should only be used if a Ninja-based build does not work. With the run argument, a run dependency is registered in addition to a build dependency. For more information see . <literal>compiler</literal> Possible arguments: (none), env (default, implicit), c++17-lang, c++14-lang, c++11-lang, gcc-c++11-lib, c++11-lib, c++0x, c11, openmp, nestedfct, features Determines which compiler to use based on any given wishes. Use c++17-lang if the port needs a C++17-capable compiler, c++14-lang if the port needs a C++14-capable compiler, c++11-lang if the port needs a C++11-capable compiler, gcc-c++11-lib if the port needs the g++ compiler with a C++11 library, or c++11-lib if the port needs a C++11-ready standard library. If the port needs a compiler understanding C++0X, C11, OpenMP, or nested functions, the corresponding parameters should be used. Use features to request a list of features supported by the default compiler. After including bsd.port.pre.mk the port can inspect the results using these variables: COMPILER_TYPE: the default compiler on the system, either gcc or clang ALT_COMPILER_TYPE: the alternative compiler on the system, either gcc or clang. Only set if two compilers are present in the base system. COMPILER_VERSION: the first two digits of the version of the default compiler. ALT_COMPILER_VERSION: the first two digits of the version of the alternative compiler, if present. CHOSEN_COMPILER_TYPE: the chosen compiler, either gcc or clang COMPILER_FEATURES: the features supported by the default compiler. It currently lists the C++ library. <literal>cpe</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Include Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) information in package manifest as a CPE 2.3 formatted string. See the CPE specification for details. To add CPE information to a port, follow these steps: Search for the official CPE entry for the software product either by using the NVD's CPE search engine or in the official CPE dictionary (warning, very large XML file). Do not ever make up CPE data. Add cpe to USES and compare the result of make -V CPE_STR to the CPE dictionary entry. Continue one step at a time until make -V CPE_STR is correct. If the product name (second field, defaults to PORTNAME) is incorrect, define CPE_PRODUCT. If the vendor name (first field, defaults to CPE_PRODUCT) is incorrect, define CPE_VENDOR. If the version field (third field, defaults to PORTVERSION) is incorrect, define CPE_VERSION. If the update field (fourth field, defaults to empty) is incorrect, define CPE_UPDATE. If it is still not correct, check Mk/Uses/cpe.mk for additional details, or contact the &a.ports-secteam;. Derive as much as possible of the CPE name from existing variables such as PORTNAME and PORTVERSION. Use variable modifiers to extract the relevant portions from these variables rather than hardcoding the name. Always run make -V CPE_STR and check the output before committing anything that changes PORTNAME or PORTVERSION or any other variable which is used to derive CPE_STR. <literal>cran</literal> Possible arguments: (none), auto-plist, compiles Uses the Comprehensive R Archive Network. Specify auto-plist to automatically generate pkg-plist. Specify compiles if the port has code that need to be compiled. <literal>desktop-file-utils</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Uses update-desktop-database from devel/desktop-file-utils. An extra post-install step will be run without interfering with any post-install steps already in the port Makefile. A line with @desktop-file-utils will be added to the plist. <literal>desthack</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Changes the behavior of GNU configure to properly support DESTDIR in case the original software does not. <literal>display</literal> Possible arguments: (none), ARGS Set up a virtual display environment. If the environment variable DISPLAY is not set, then Xvfb is added as a build dependency, and CONFIGURE_ENV is extended with the port number of the currently running instance of Xvfb. The ARGS parameter defaults to install and controls the phase around which to start and stop the virtual display. <literal>dos2unix</literal> Possible arguments: (none) The port has files with line endings in DOS format which need to be converted. Several variables can be set to control which files will be converted. The default is to convert all files, including binaries. See for examples. DOS2UNIX_REGEX: match file names based on a regular expression. DOS2UNIX_FILES: match literal file names. DOS2UNIX_GLOB: match file names based on a glob pattern. DOS2UNIX_WRKSRC: the directory from which to start the conversions. Defaults to ${WRKSRC}. <literal>drupal</literal> Possible arguments: 7, module, theme Automate installation of a port that is a Drupal theme or module. Use with the version of Drupal that the port is expecting. For example, USES=drupal:7,module says that this port creates a Drupal 6 module. A Drupal 7 theme can be specified with USES=drupal:7,theme. <literal>eigen</literal> Possible arguments: 2, 3, build (default), run - Add dependency on math/eigen. + Add dependency on math/eigen. <literal>fakeroot</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Changes some default behavior of build systems to allow installing as a user. See for more information on fakeroot. <literal>fam</literal> Possible arguments: (none), fam, gamin Uses a File Alteration Monitor as a library dependency, either devel/fam or devel/gamin. End users can set WITH_FAM_SYSTEM to specify their preference. <literal>firebird</literal> Possible arguments: (none), 25 Add a dependency to the client library of the Firebird database. <literal>fonts</literal> Possible arguments: (none), fc, fcfontsdir (default), fontsdir, none Adds a runtime dependency on tools needed to register fonts. Depending on the argument, add a @fc ${FONTSDIR} line, @fcfontsdir ${FONTSDIR} line, @fontsdir ${FONTSDIR} line, or no line if the argument is none, to the plist. FONTSDIR defaults to ${PREFIX}/share/fonts/${FONTNAME} and FONTNAME to ${PORTNAME}. Add FONTSDIR to PLIST_SUB and SUB_LIST <literal>fortran</literal> Possible arguments: gcc (default) Uses the GNU Fortran compiler. <literal>fuse</literal> Possible arguments: 2 (default), 3 The port will depend on the FUSE library and handle the dependency on the kernel module depending on the version of &os;. <literal>gem</literal> Possible arguments: (none), noautoplist Handle building with RubyGems. If noautoplist is used, the packing list is not generated automatically. <literal>gettext</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Deprecated. Will include both gettext-runtime and gettext-tools. <literal>gettext-runtime</literal> Possible arguments: (none), lib (default), build, run Uses devel/gettext-runtime. By default, with no arguments or with the lib argument, implies a library dependency on libintl.so. build and run implies, respectively a build-time and a run-time dependency on gettext. <literal>gettext-tools</literal> Possible arguments: (none), build (default), run Uses devel/gettext-tools. By default, with no argument, or with the build argument, a build time dependency on msgfmt is registered. With the run argument, a run-time dependency is registered. <literal>ghostscript</literal> Possible arguments: X, build, run, nox11 A specific version X can be used. Possible versions are 7, 8, 9, and agpl (default). nox11 indicates that the -nox11 version of the port is required. build and run add build- and run-time dependencies on Ghostscript. The default is both build- and run-time dependencies. <literal>gl</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Provides an easy way to depend on GL components. The components should be listed in USE_GL. The available components are: egl add a library dependency on libEGL.so from graphics/mesa-libs gbm Add a library dependency on libgbm.so from graphics/mesa-libs gl Add a library dependency on libGL.so from graphics/mesa-libs glesv2 Add a library dependency on libGLESv2.so from graphics/mesa-libs glew Add a library dependency on libGLEW.so from graphics/glew glu Add a library dependency on libGLU.so from graphics/libGLU glut Add a library dependency on libglut.so from graphics/freeglut <literal>gmake</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Uses devel/gmake as a build-time dependency and sets up the environment to use gmake as the default make for the build. <literal>gnome</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Provides an easy way to depend on GNOME components. The components should be listed in USE_GNOME. The available components are: atk atkmm cairo cairomm dconf esound evolutiondataserver3 gconf2 gconfmm26 gdkpixbuf gdkpixbuf2 glib12 glib20 glibmm gnomecontrolcenter3 gnomedesktop3 gnomedocutils gnomemenus3 gnomemimedata gnomeprefix gnomesharp20 gnomevfs2 gsound gtk-update-icon-cache gtk12 gtk20 gtk30 gtkhtml3 gtkhtml4 gtkmm20 gtkmm24 gtkmm30 gtksharp20 gtksourceview gtksourceview2 gtksourceview3 gtksourceviewmm3 gvfs intlhack intltool introspection libartlgpl2 libbonobo libbonoboui libgda5 libgda5-ui libgdamm5 libglade2 libgnome libgnomecanvas libgnomekbd libgnomeprint libgnomeprintui libgnomeui libgsf libgtkhtml libgtksourceviewmm libidl librsvg2 libsigc++12 libsigc++20 libwnck libwnck3 libxml++26 libxml2 libxslt metacity nautilus3 orbit2 pango pangomm pangox-compat py3gobject3 pygnome2 pygobject pygobject3 pygtk2 pygtksourceview referencehack vte vte3 The default dependency is build- and run-time, it can be changed with :build or :run. For example: USES= gnome USE_GNOME= gnomemenus3:build intlhack See for more information. <literal>go</literal> Ports should not be created for Go libs, see for more information. Possible arguments: (none), modules, no_targets, run Sets default values and targets used to build Go software. A build dependency on the Go compiler port selected via GO_PORT is added. By default the build is performed in GOPATH mode. If Go software uses modules, the modules-aware mode can be switched on with modules argument. no_targets will setup build environment like GO_ENV, GO_BUILDFLAGS but skip creating post-extract and do-{build,install,test} targets. run will also add a run dependency on what is in GO_PORT. The build process is controlled by several variables: GO_PKGNAME The name of the Go package when building in GOPATH mode. This is the directory that will be created in ${GOPATH}/src. If not set explicitly and GH_SUBDIR or GL_SUBDIR is present, GO_PKGNAME will be inferred from it. It is not needed when building in modules-aware mode. GO_TARGET The packages to build. The default value is ${GO_PKGNAME}. GO_TARGET can also be a tuple in the form package:path where path can be either a simple filename or a full path starting with ${PREFIX}. GO_TESTTARGET The packages to test. The default value is ./... (the current package and all subpackages). CGO_CFLAGS Additional CFLAGS values to be passed to the C compiler by go. CGO_LDFLAGS Additional LDFLAGS values to be passed to the C compiler by go. GO_BUILDFLAGS Additional build arguments to be passed to go build. GO_TESTFLAGS Additional build arguments to be passed to go test. GO_PORT The Go compiler port to use. By default this is lang/go but can be set to lang/go-devel in make.conf for testing with future Go versions. This variable must not be set by individual ports! See for usage examples. <literal>gperf</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Add a buildtime dependency on devel/gperf if gperf is not present in the base system. <literal>grantlee</literal> Possible arguments: 5, selfbuild Handle dependency on Grantlee. Specify 5 to depend on the Qt5 based version, devel/grantlee5. selfbuild is used internally by devel/grantlee5 to get their versions numbers. <literal>groff</literal> Possible arguments: build, run, both Registers a dependency on textproc/groff if not present in the base system. <literal>gssapi</literal> Possible arguments: (none), base (default), heimdal, mit, flags, bootstrap Handle dependencies needed by consumers of the GSS-API. Only libraries that provide the Kerberos mechanism are available. By default, or set to base, the GSS-API library from the base system is used. Can also be set to heimdal to use security/heimdal, or mit to use security/krb5. When the local Kerberos installation is not in LOCALBASE, set HEIMDAL_HOME (for heimdal) or KRB5_HOME (for krb5) to the location of the Kerberos installation. These variables are exported for the ports to use: GSSAPIBASEDIR GSSAPICPPFLAGS GSSAPIINCDIR GSSAPILDFLAGS GSSAPILIBDIR GSSAPILIBS GSSAPI_CONFIGURE_ARGS The flags option can be given alongside base, heimdal, or mit to automatically add GSSAPICPPFLAGS, GSSAPILDFLAGS, and GSSAPILIBS to CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and LDADD, respectively. For example, use base,flags. The bootstrap option is a special prefix only for use by security/krb5 and security/heimdal. For example, use bootstrap,mit. Typical Use OPTIONS_SINGLE= GSSAPI OPTIONS_SINGLE_GSSAPI= GSSAPI_BASE GSSAPI_HEIMDAL GSSAPI_MIT GSSAPI_NONE GSSAPI_BASE_USES= gssapi GSSAPI_BASE_CONFIGURE_ON= --with-gssapi=${GSSAPIBASEDIR} ${GSSAPI_CONFIGURE_ARGS} GSSAPI_HEIMDAL_USES= gssapi:heimdal GSSAPI_HEIMDAL_CONFIGURE_ON= --with-gssapi=${GSSAPIBASEDIR} ${GSSAPI_CONFIGURE_ARGS} GSSAPI_MIT_USES= gssapi:mit GSSAPI_MIT_CONFIGURE_ON= --with-gssapi=${GSSAPIBASEDIR} ${GSSAPI_CONFIGURE_ARGS} GSSAPI_NONE_CONFIGURE_ON= --without-gssapi <literal>horde</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Add buildtime and runtime dependencies on devel/pear-channel-horde. Other Horde dependencies can be added with USE_HORDE_BUILD and USE_HORDE_RUN. See for more information. <literal>iconv</literal> Possible arguments: (none), lib, build, patch, translit, wchar_t Uses iconv functions, either from the port converters/libiconv as a build-time and run-time dependency, or from the base system on 10-CURRENT after a native iconv was committed in 254273. By default, with no arguments or with the lib argument, implies iconv with build-time and run-time dependencies. build implies a build-time dependency, and patch implies a patch-time dependency. If the port uses the WCHAR_T or //TRANSLIT iconv extensions, add the relevant arguments so that the correct iconv is used. For more information see . <literal>imake</literal> Possible arguments: (none), env, notall, noman Add devel/imake as a build-time dependency and run xmkmf -a during the configure stage. If the env argument is given, the configure target is not set. If the flag is a problem for the port, add the notall argument. If xmkmf does not generate a install.man target, add the noman argument. <literal>kde</literal> Possible arguments: 5 Add dependency on KDE components. See for more information. <literal>kmod</literal> Possible arguments: (none), debug Fills in the boilerplate for kernel module ports, currently: Add kld to CATEGORIES. Set SSP_UNSAFE. Set IGNORE if the kernel sources are not found in SRC_BASE. Define KMODDIR to /boot/modules by default, add it to PLIST_SUB and MAKE_ENV, and create it upon installation. If KMODDIR is set to /boot/kernel, it will be rewritten to /boot/modules. This prevents breaking packages when upgrading the kernel due to /boot/kernel being renamed to /boot/kernel.old in the process. Handle cross-referencing kernel modules upon installation and deinstallation, using @kld. If the debug argument is given, the port can install a debug version of the module into KERN_DEBUGDIR/KMODDIR. By default, KERN_DEBUGDIR is copied from DEBUGDIR and set to /usr/lib/debug. The framework will take care of creating and removing any required directories. <literal>lha</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Set EXTRACT_SUFX to .lzh <literal>libarchive</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Registers a dependency on archivers/libarchive. Any ports depending on libarchive must include USES=libarchive. <literal>libedit</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Registers a dependency on devel/libedit. Any ports depending on libedit must include USES=libedit. <literal>libtool</literal> Possible arguments: (none), keepla, build Patches libtool scripts. This must be added to all ports that use libtool. The keepla argument can be used to keep .la files. Some ports do not ship with their own copy of libtool and need a build time dependency on devel/libtool, use the :build argument to add such dependency. <literal>linux</literal> Possible arguments: c6, c7 Ports Linux compatibility framework. Specify c6 to depend on CentOS 6 packags. Specify c7 to depend on CentOS 7 packages. The available packages are: allegro alsa-plugins-oss alsa-plugins-pulseaudio alsalib atk avahi-libs base cairo cups-libs curl cyrus-sasl2 dbusglib dbuslibs devtools dri expat flac fontconfig gdkpixbuf2 gnutls graphite2 gtk2 harfbuzz jasper jbigkit jpeg libasyncns libaudiofile libelf libgcrypt libgfortran libgpg-error libmng libogg libpciaccess libsndfile libsoup libssh2 libtasn1 libthai libtheora libv4l libvorbis libxml2 mikmod naslibs ncurses-base nspr nss openal openal-soft openldap openmotif openssl pango pixman png pulseaudio-libs qt qt-x11 qtwebkit scimlibs sdl12 sdlimage sdlmixer sqlite3 tcl85 tcp_wrappers-libs tiff tk85 ucl xorglibs <literal>localbase</literal> Possible arguments: (none), ldflags Ensures that libraries from dependencies in LOCALBASE are used instead of the ones from the base system. Specify ldflags to add -L${LOCALBASE}/lib to LDFLAGS instead of LIBS. Ports that depend on libraries that are also present in the base system should use this. It is also used internally by a few other USES. <literal>lua</literal> Possible arguments: (none), XY, XY+, -XY, XY-ZA, module, flavors, build, run, env Adds a dependency on Lua. By default this is a library dependency, unless overridden by the build and/or run option. The env option prevents the addition of any dependency, while still defining all the usual variables. The default version is set by the usual DEFAULT_VERSIONS mechanism, unless a version or range of versions is specified as an argument, for example, 51 or 51-53. Applications using Lua are normally built for only a single Lua version. However, library modules intended to be loaded by Lua code should use the module option to build with multiple flavors. For more information see . <literal>lxqt</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Handle dependencies for the LXQt Desktop Environment. Use USE_LXQT to select the components needed for the port. See for more information. <literal>makeinfo</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Add a build-time dependency on makeinfo if it is not present in the base system. <literal>makeself</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Indicates that the distribution files are makeself archives and sets the appropriate dependencies. <literal>mate</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Provides an easy way to depend on MATE components. The components should be listed in USE_MATE. The available components are: autogen caja common controlcenter desktop dialogs docutils icontheme intlhack intltool libmatekbd libmateweather marco menus notificationdaemon panel pluma polkit session settingsdaemon The default dependency is build- and run-time, it can be changed with :build or :run. For example: USES= mate USE_MATE= menus:build intlhack <literal>meson</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Provide support for Meson based projects. For more information see . <literal>metaport</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Sets the following variables to make it easier to create a metaport: MASTER_SITES, DISTFILES, EXTRACT_ONLY, NO_BUILD, NO_INSTALL, NO_MTREE, NO_ARCH. <literal>mysql</literal> Possible arguments: (none), version, client (default), server, embedded Provide support for MySQL. If no version is given, try to find the current installed version. Fall back to the default version, MySQL-5.6. The possible versions are 55, 55m, 55p, 56, 56p, 56w, 57, 57p, 80, 100m, 101m, and 102m. The m and p suffixes are for the MariaDB and Percona variants of MySQL. server and embedded add a build- and run-time dependency on the MySQL server. When using server or embedded, add client to also add a dependency on libmysqlclient.so. A port can set IGNORE_WITH_MYSQL if some versions are not supported. The framework sets MYSQL_VER to the detected MySQL version. <literal>mono</literal> Possible arguments: (none), nuget Adds a dependency on the Mono (currently only C#) framework by setting the appropriate dependencies. Specify nuget when the port uses nuget packages. NUGET_DEPENDS needs to be set with the names and versions of the nuget packages in the format name=version. An optional package origin can be added using name=version:origin. The helper target, buildnuget, will output the content of the NUGET_DEPENDS based on the provided packages.config. <literal>motif</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Uses x11-toolkits/open-motif as a library dependency. End users can set WANT_LESSTIF for the dependency to be on x11-toolkits/lesstif instead of x11-toolkits/open-motif. <literal>ncurses</literal> Possible arguments: (none), base, port Uses ncurses, and causes some useful variables to be set. <literal>ninja</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Uses ninja to build the port. <literal>objc</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Add objective C dependencies (compiler, runtime library) if the base system does not support it. <literal>openal</literal> Possible arguments: al, soft (default), si, alut Uses OpenAL. The backend can be specified, with the software implementation as the default. The user can specify a preferred backend with WANT_OPENAL. Valid values for this knob are soft (default) and si. <literal>pathfix</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Look for Makefile.in and configure in PATHFIX_WRKSRC (defaults to WRKSRC) and fix common paths to make sure they respect the &os; hierarchy. For example, it fixes the installation directory of pkgconfig's .pc files to ${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig. If the port uses USES=autoreconf, Makefile.am will be added to PATHFIX_MAKEFILEIN automatically. If the port USES=cmake it will look for CMakeLists.txt in PATHFIX_WRKSRC. If needed, that default filename can be changed with PATHFIX_CMAKELISTSTXT. <literal>pear</literal> Possible arguments: env Adds a dependency on devel/pear. It will setup default behavior for software using the PHP Extension and Application Repository. Using the env arguments only sets up the PEAR environment variables. See for more information. <literal>perl5</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Depends on Perl. The configuration is done using USE_PERL5. USE_PERL5 can contain the phases in which to use Perl, can be extract, patch, build, run, or test. USE_PERL5 can also contain configure, modbuild, or modbuildtiny when Makefile.PL, Build.PL, or Module::Build::Tiny's flavor of Build.PL is required. USE_PERL5 defaults to build run. When using configure, modbuild, or modbuildtiny, build and run are implied. See for more information. <literal>pgsql</literal> Possible arguments: (none), X.Y, X.Y+, X.Y-, X.Y-Z.A Provide support for PostgreSQL. Port maintainer can set version required. Minimum and maximum versions or a range can be specified; for example, 9.0-, 8.4+, 8.4-9.2. By default, the added dependency will be the client, but if the port requires additional components, this can be done using WANT_PGSQL=component[:target]; for example, WANT_PGSQL=server:configure pltcl plperl. The available components are: client contrib docs pgtcl plperl plpython pltcl server <literal>php</literal> Possible arguments: (none), phpize, ext, zend, build, cli, cgi, mod, web, embed, pecl, flavors, noflavors Provide support for PHP. Add a runtime dependency on the default PHP version, lang/php56. phpize Use to build a PHP extension. Enables flavors. ext Use to build, install and register a PHP extension. Enables flavors. zend Use to build, install and register a Zend extension. Enables flavors. build Set PHP also as a build-time dependency. cli Needs the CLI version of PHP. cgi Needs the CGI version of PHP. mod Needs the Apache module for PHP. web Needs the Apache module or the CGI version of PHP. embed Needs the embedded library version of PHP. pecl Provide defaults for fetching PHP extensions from the PECL repository. Enables flavors. flavors Enable automatic PHP flavors generation. Flavors will be generated for all PHP versions, except the ones present in IGNORE_WITH_PHP. noflavors Disable automatic PHP flavors generation. Must only be used with extensions provided by PHP itself. Variables are used to specify which PHP modules are required, as well as which version of PHP are supported. USE_PHP The list of required PHP extensions at run-time. Add :build to the extension name to add a build-time dependency. Example: pcre xml:build gettext IGNORE_WITH_PHP The port does not work with PHP of the given version. For possible values look at the content of _ALL_PHP_VERSIONS in Mk/Uses/php.mk. When building a PHP or Zend extension with :ext or :zend, these variables can be set: PHP_MODNAME The name of the PHP or Zend extension. Default value is ${PORTNAME}. PHP_HEADER_DIRS A list of subdirectories from which to install header files. The framework will always install the header files that are present in the same directory as the extension. PHP_MOD_PRIO The priority at which to load the extension. It is a number between 00 and 99. For extensions that do not depend on any extension, the priority is automatically set to 20, for extensions that depend on another extension, the priority is automatically set to 30. Some extensions may need to be loaded before every other extension, for example www/php56-opcache. Some may need to be loaded after an extension with a priority of 30. In that case, add PHP_MOD_PRIO=XX in the port's Makefile. For example: USES= php:ext USE_PHP= wddx PHP_MOD_PRIO= 40 These variables are available to use in PKGNAMEPREFIX or PKGNAMESUFFIX: PHP_PKGNAMEPREFIX Contains phpXY- where XY is the current flavor's PHP version. Use with PHP extensions and modules. PHP_PKGNAMESUFFIX Contains -phpXY where XY is the current flavor's PHP version. Use with PHP applications. PECL_PKGNAMEPREFIX Contains phpXY-pecl- where XY is the current flavor's PHP version. Use with PECL modules. With flavors, all PHP extensions, PECL extensions, PEAR modules must have a different package name, so they must all use one of these three variables in their PKGNAMEPREFIX or PKGNAMESUFFIX. <literal>pkgconfig</literal> Possible arguments: (none), build (default), run, both Uses devel/pkgconf. With no arguments or with the build argument, it implies pkg-config as a build-time dependency. run implies a run-time dependency and both implies both run-time and build-time dependencies. <literal>pure</literal> Possible arguments: (none), ffi Uses lang/pure. Largely used for building related pure ports. With the ffi argument, it implies devel/pure-ffi as a run-time dependency. <literal>pyqt</literal> Possible arguments: (none), 4, 5 Uses PyQt. If the port is part of PyQT itself, set PYQT_DIST. Use USE_PYQT to select the components the port needs. The available components are: core dbus dbussupport demo designer designerplugin doc gui multimedia network opengl qscintilla2 sip sql svg test webkit xml xmlpatterns These components are only available with PyQT4: assistant declarative help phonon script scripttools These components are only available with PyQT5: multimediawidgets printsupport qml serialport webkitwidgets widgets The default dependency for each component is build- and run-time, to select only build or run, add _build or _run to the component name. For example: USES= pyqt USE_PYQT= core doc_build designer_run <literal>python</literal> Possible arguments: (none), X.Y, X.Y+, -X.Y, X.Y-Z.A, patch, build, run, test Uses Python. A supported version or version range can be specified. If Python is only needed at build time, run time or for the tests, it can be set as a build, run or test dependency with build, run, or test. If Python is also needed during the patch phase, use patch. See for more information. PYTHON_NO_DEPENDS=yes can be used when the variables exported by the framework are needed but a dependency on Python is not. It can happen when using with USES=shebangfix, and the goal is only to fix the shebangs but not add a dependency on Python. <literal>qmail</literal> Possible arguments: (none), build, run, both, vars Uses mail/qmail. With the build argument, it implies qmail as a build-time dependency. run implies a run-time dependency. Using no argument or the both argument implies both run-time and build-time dependencies. vars will only set QMAIL variables for the port to use. <literal>qmake</literal> Possible arguments: (none), norecursive, outsource, no_env, no_configure Uses QMake for configuring. For more information see . <literal>qt</literal> Possible arguments: 5, no_env Add dependency on Qt components. no_env is passed directly to USES= qmake. See for more information. <literal>qt-dist</literal> Possible arguments: (none) or 5 and (none) or one of 3d, activeqt, androidextras, base, canvas3d, charts, connectivity, datavis3d, declarative, doc, gamepad, graphicaleffects, imageformats, location, macextras, multimedia, networkauth, purchasing, quickcontrols2, quickcontrols, remoteobjects, script, scxml, sensors, serialbus, serialport, speech, svg, tools, translations, virtualkeyboard, wayland, webchannel, webengine, websockets, webview, winextras, x11extras, xmlpatterns Provides support for building Qt 5 components. It takes care of setting up the appropriate configuration environment for the port to build. Building Qt 5 Components The port is Qt 5's networkauth component, which is part of the networkauth distribution file. PORTNAME= networkauth DISTVERSION= ${QT5_VERSION} USES= qt-dist:5 If PORTNAME does not match the component name, it can be passed as an argument to qt-dist. Building Qt 5 Components with Different Names The port is Qt 5's gui component, which is part of the base distribution file. PORTNAME= gui DISTVERSION= ${QT5_VERSION} USES= qt-dist:5,base <literal>readline</literal> Possible arguments: (none), port Uses readline as a library dependency, and sets CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS as necessary. If the port argument is used or if readline is not present in the base system, add a dependency on devel/readline <literal>samba</literal> Possible arguments: build, env, lib, run Handle dependency on Samba. env will not add any dependency and only set up the variables. build and run will add build-time and run-time dependency on smbd. lib will add a dependency on libsmbclient.so. The variables that are exported are: SAMBAPORT The origin of the default Samba port. SAMBAINCLUDES The location of the Samba header files. SAMBALIBS The directory where the Samba shared libraries are available. <literal>scons</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Provide support for the use of devel/scons. See for more information. <literal>shared-mime-info</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Uses update-mime-database from misc/shared-mime-info. This uses will automatically add a post-install step in such a way that the port itself still can specify there own post-install step if needed. It also add an @shared-mime-info entry to the plist. <literal>shebangfix</literal> Possible arguments: (none) A lot of software uses incorrect locations for script interpreters, most notably /usr/bin/perl and /bin/bash. The shebangfix macro fixes shebang lines in scripts listed in SHEBANG_REGEX, SHEBANG_GLOB, or SHEBANG_FILES. SHEBANG_REGEX Contains one extended regular expressions, and is used with the -iregex argument of &man.find.1;. See . SHEBANG_GLOB Contains a list of patterns used with the -name argument of &man.find.1;. See . SHEBANG_FILES Contains a list of files or &man.sh.1; globs. The shebangfix macro is run from ${WRKSRC}, so SHEBANG_FILES can contain paths that are relative to ${WRKSRC}. It can also deal with absolute paths if files outside of ${WRKSRC} require patching. See . Currently Bash, Java, Ksh, Lua, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Tcl, and Tk are supported by default. There are three configuration variables: SHEBANG_LANG The list of supported interpreters. interp_CMD The path to the command interpreter on &os;. The default value is ${LOCALBASE}/bin/interp. interp_OLD_CMD The list of wrong invocations of interpreters. These are typically obsolete paths, or paths used on other operating systems that are incorrect on &os;. They will be replaced by the correct path in interp_CMD. These will always be part of interp_OLD_CMD: "/usr/bin/env interp" /bin/interp /usr/bin/interp /usr/local/bin/interp. interp_OLD_CMD contain multiple values. Any entry with spaces must be quoted. See . The fixing of shebangs is done during the patch phase. If scripts are created with incorrect shebangs during the build phase, the build process (for example, the configure script, or the Makefiles) must be patched or given the right path (for example, with CONFIGURE_ENV, CONFIGURE_ARGS, MAKE_ENV, or MAKE_ARGS) to generate the right shebangs. Correct paths for supported interpreters are available in interp_CMD. When used with USES=python, and the aim is only to fix the shebangs but a dependency on Python itself is not wanted, use PYTHON_NO_DEPENDS=yes. Adding Another Interpreter to <literal>USES=shebangfix</literal> To add another interpreter, set SHEBANG_LANG. For example: SHEBANG_LANG= lua Specifying all the Paths When Adding an Interpreter to <literal>USES=shebangfix</literal> If it was not already defined, and there were no default values for interp_OLD_CMD and interp_CMD the Ksh entry could be defined as: SHEBANG_LANG= ksh ksh_OLD_CMD= "/usr/bin/env ksh" /bin/ksh /usr/bin/ksh ksh_CMD= ${LOCALBASE}/bin/ksh Adding a Strange Location for an Interpreter Some software uses strange locations for an interpreter. For example, an application might expect Python to be located in /opt/bin/python2.7. The strange path to be replaced can be declared in the port Makefile: python_OLD_CMD= /opt/bin/python2.7 <literal>USES=shebangfix</literal> with <varname>SHEBANG_REGEX</varname> To fix all the files in ${WRKSRC}/scripts ending in .pl, .sh, or .cgi do: USES= shebangfix SHEBANG_REGEX= ./scripts/.*\.(sh|pl|cgi) SHEBANG_REGEX is used by running find -E, which uses modern regular expressions also known as extended regular expressions. See &man.re.format.7; for more information. <literal>USES=shebangfix</literal> with <varname>SHEBANG_GLOB</varname> To fix all the files in ${WRKSRC} ending in .pl or .sh, do: USES= shebangfix SHEBANG_GLOB= *.sh *.pl <literal>USES=shebangfix</literal> with <varname>SHEBANG_FILES</varname> To fix the files script/foobar.pl and script/*.sh in ${WRKSRC}, do: USES= shebangfix SHEBANG_FILES= scripts/foobar.pl scripts/*.sh <literal>sqlite</literal> Possible arguments: (none), 2, 3 Add a dependency on SQLite. The default version used is 3, but version 2 is also possible using the :2 modifier. <literal>ssl</literal> Possible arguments: (none), build, run Provide support for OpenSSL. A build- or run-time only dependency can be specified using build or run. These variables are available for the port's use, they are also added to MAKE_ENV: OPENSSLBASE Path to the OpenSSL installation base. OPENSSLDIR Path to OpenSSL's configuration files. OPENSSLLIB Path to the OpenSSL libraries. OPENSSLINC Path to the OpenSSL includes. OPENSSLRPATH If defined, the path the linker needs to use to find the OpenSSL libraries. If a port does not build with an OpenSSL flavor, set the BROKEN_SSL variable, and possibly the BROKEN_SSL_REASON_flavor: BROKEN_SSL= libressl BROKEN_SSL_REASON_libressl= needs features only available in OpenSSL <literal>tar</literal> Possible arguments: (none), Z, bz2, bzip2, lzma, tbz, tbz2, tgz, txz, xz Set EXTRACT_SUFX to .tar, .tar.Z, .tar.bz2, .tar.bz2, .tar.lzma, .tbz, .tbz2, .tgz, .txz or .tar.xz respectively. <literal>tcl</literal> Possible arguments: version, wrapper, build, run, tea Add a dependency on Tcl. A specific version can be requested using version. The version can be empty, one or more exact version numbers (currently 84, 85, or 86), or a minimal version number (currently 84+, 85+ or 86+). To only request a non version specific wrapper, use wrapper. A build- or run-time only dependency can be specified using build or run. To build the port using the Tcl Extension Architecture, use tea. After including bsd.port.pre.mk the port can inspect the results using these variables: TCL_VER: chosen major.minor version of Tcl TCLSH: full path of the Tcl interpreter TCL_LIBDIR: path of the Tcl libraries TCL_INCLUDEDIR: path of the Tcl C header files TK_VER: chosen major.minor version of Tk WISH: full path of the Tk interpreter TK_LIBDIR: path of the Tk libraries TK_INCLUDEDIR: path of the Tk C header files <literal>terminfo</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Adds @terminfo to the plist. Use when the port installs *.terminfo files in ${PREFIX}/share/misc. <literal>tk</literal> Same as arguments for tcl Small wrapper when using both Tcl and Tk. The same variables are returned as when using Tcl. <literal>uidfix</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Changes some default behavior (mostly variables) of the build system to allow installing this port as a normal user. Try this in the port before using USES=fakeroot or patching. <literal>uniquefiles</literal> Possible arguments: (none), dirs Make files or directories 'unique', by adding a prefix or suffix. If the dirs argument is used, the port needs a prefix (and only a prefix) based on UNIQUE_PREFIX for standard directories DOCSDIR, EXAMPLESDIR, DATADIR, WWWDIR, ETCDIR. These variables are available for ports: UNIQUE_PREFIX: The prefix to be used for directories and files. Default: ${PKGNAMEPREFIX}. UNIQUE_PREFIX_FILES: A list of files that need to be prefixed. Default: empty. UNIQUE_SUFFIX: The suffix to be used for files. Default: ${PKGNAMESUFFIX}. UNIQUE_SUFFIX_FILES: A list of files that need to be suffixed. Default: empty. <literal>varnish</literal> Possible arguments: 4, 5 Handle dependencies on Varnish Cache. 4 will add a dependency on www/varnish4. 5 will add a dependency on www/varnish5. <literal>webplugin</literal> Possible arguments: (none), ARGS Automatically create and remove symbolic links for each application that supports the webplugin framework. ARGS can be one of: gecko: support plug-ins based on Gecko native: support plug-ins for Gecko, Opera, and WebKit-GTK linux: support Linux plug-ins all (default, implicit): support all plug-in types (individual entries): support only the browsers listed These variables can be adjusted: WEBPLUGIN_FILES: No default, must be set manually. The plug-in files to install. WEBPLUGIN_DIR: The directory to install the plug-in files to, default PREFIX/lib/browser_plugins/WEBPLUGIN_NAME. Set this if the port installs plug-in files outside of the default directory to prevent broken symbolic links. WEBPLUGIN_NAME: The final directory to install the plug-in files into, default PKGBASE. <literal>xfce</literal> Possible arguments: (none), gtk2 Provide support for Xfce related ports. See for details. The gtk2 argument specifies that the port requires GTK2 support. It adds additional features provided by some core components, for example, x11/libxfce4menu and x11-wm/xfce4-panel. <literal>xorg</literal> Possible arguments: (none) Provides an easy way to depend on X.org components. The components should be listed in USE_XORG. The available components are: Available X.Org Components Name Description dmx DMX extension library fontenc The fontenc Library fontutil Create an index of X font files in a directory ice Inter Client Exchange library for X11 libfs The FS library pciaccess Generic PCI access library pixman Low-level pixel manipulation library sm Session Management library for X11 x11 X11 library xau Authentication Protocol library for X11 xaw X Athena Widgets library xaw6 X Athena Widgets library xaw7 X Athena Widgets library xbitmaps X.Org bitmaps data xcb The X protocol C-language Binding (XCB) library xcomposite X Composite extension library xcursor X client-side cursor loading library xdamage X Damage extension library xdmcp X Display Manager Control Protocol library xext X11 Extension library xfixes X Fixes extension library xfont X font library xfont2 X font library xft Client-sided font API for X applications xi X Input extension library xinerama X11 Xinerama library xkbfile XKB file library xmu X Miscellaneous Utilities libraries xmuu X Miscellaneous Utilities libraries xorg-macros X.Org development aclocal macros xorg-server X.Org X server and related programs xorgproto xorg protocol headers xpm X Pixmap library xpresent X Present Extension library xrandr X Resize and Rotate extension library xrender X Render extension library xres X Resource usage library xscrnsaver The XScrnSaver library xshmfence Shared memory 'SyncFence' synchronization primitive xt X Toolkit library xtrans Abstract network code for X xtst X Test extension xv X Video Extension library xvmc X Video Extension Motion Compensation library xxf86dga X DGA Extension xxf86vm X Vidmode Extension
<literal>xorg-cat</literal> Possible arguments: app, data, doc, driver, font, lib, proto, util, xserver and (none) or one off autotools (default), meson Provide support for building Xorg components. It takes care of setting up common dependencies and an appropriate configuration environment needed. This is intended only for Xorg components. The category has to match upstream categories. The second argument is the build system to use. autotools is the default, but meson is also supported. <literal>zip</literal> Possible arguments: (none), infozip Indicates that the distribution files use the ZIP compression algorithm. For files using the InfoZip algorithm the infozip argument must be passed to set the appropriate dependencies.
