NAME

build.common.mk —

bsdbuild - common defines

SYNOPSIS

.include <bsd.common.mk>

DESCRIPTION

build.common.mk defines common variables that are used by the different BSDBuild modules. They can be referenced from Makefiles, but they are almost always treated read-only and overrided by a Makefile.config generated by a configure script (see mkconfigure(1) for details).

TARGETS

This module defines no target.

VARIABLES

PREFIX: Base target installation directory. Defaults to ‘/usr/local’.
DESTDIR: Optional prefix for all installation directories. This variable is typically passed as an argument to a ‘make install’ command. Defaults to an empty string.
STATEDIR: Installation directory for writeable machine-wide data files. Defaults to ‘PREFIX/var’.
SYSCONFDIR: System-wide configuration directory. Defaults to ‘PREFIX/etc’.
DATADIR: Installation directory for read-only machine-wide data files.
BINDIR: Installation directory for executables. Defaults to ‘PREFIX/bin’.
LIBDIR: Installation directory for library files. Defaults to ‘PREFIX/lib’.
MODULEDIR: Installation directory for dynamically-loaded modules. Defaults to ‘PREFIX/lib’ (but this default is almost always overridden by the application's configure script).
INCLDIR: Installation directory for library header files. Defaults to ‘PREFIX/include’.
MANDIR: Installation directory for manual pages. Defaults to ‘PREFIX/man’.
SUDO: Optional path to sudo(8). If set, all modules will use it for privileged commands.
SH: Path to the Bourne shell. Defaults to ‘sh’.
FIND: Path to the ‘find 1’ command. Not used by BSDBuild itself, but useful for maintainer scripts and such.
AWK: Path to ‘awk’ interpreter. Not used by BSDBuild itself, but useful for maintainer scripts and such.
INSTALL_PROG: Command to execute for installing an executable file. Defaults to ‘install -c -m 755’.
INSTALL_LIB: Command to execute for installing a library file. Defaults to ‘install -c -m 644’.
INSTALL_DATA: Command to execute for installing a data file. Defaults to ‘install -c -m 644’.
INSTALL_INCL: Command to execute for installing a library header file. Defaults to ‘install -c -m 644’.
DEINSTALL_PROG: Command to execute for uninstalling an executable.
DEINSTALL_LIB: Command to execute for uninstalling a library.
DEINSTALL_DATA: Command to execute for uninstalling a data file.
DEINSTALL_INCL: Command to execute for uninstalling a library header file.
