install applications. +Each +.Em port +contains any patches necessary to make the original +application source code compile and run on +.Fx . +Compiling an +application is as simple as typing +.Nm make Cm build +in the port directory! +The +.Pa Makefile +automatically fetches the +application source code, either from a local disk or via FTP, unpacks it +on your system, applies the patches, and compiles it. +If all goes well, +simply type +.Nm make Cm install +to install the application. +.Pp +For more information about using ports, see +.Dq "Packages and Ports" +in +.%B "The FreeBSD Handbook" , +.Pa ( file:/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html +or +.Pa http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html ) . +For information about creating new ports, see +.%B "The Porter's Handbook" +.Pa ( file:/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html +or +.Pa http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ ) . +.Sh TARGETS +Some of the targets work recursively through subdirectories. +This lets you, for example, install all of the +.Dq Li biology +ports. +The targets that do this are +.Cm build , checksum , clean , configure , +.Cm depends , extract , fetch , install , +and +.Cm package . +.Pp +The following targets will be run automatically by each proceeding +target in order. +That is, +.Cm build +will be run +(if necessary) +by +.Cm install , +and so on all the way to +.Cm fetch . +Usually, you will only use the +.Cm install +target. +.Bl -tag -width ".Cm configure" +.It Cm config +Configure +.Va OPTIONS +for this port using +.Xr dialog4ports 1 . +.It Cm fetch +Fetch all of the files needed to build this port from the sites +listed in +.Va MASTER_SITES +and +.Va PATCH_SITES . +See +.Va FETCH_CMD , MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE +and +.Va MASTER_SITE_BACKUP . +.It Cm checksum +Verify that the fetched distfile's checksum matches the one the port was +tested against. +If the distfile's checksum does not match, it also fetches the distfiles +which are missing or failed the checksum calculation. +Defining +.Va NO_CHECKSUM +will skip this step. +.It Cm depends +Install +(or compile if only compilation is necessary) +any dependencies of the current port. +When called by the +.Cm extract +or +.Cm fetch +targets, this is run in piecemeal as +.Cm fetch-depends , build-depends , +etc. +Defining +.Va NO_DEPENDS +will skip this step. +.It Cm extract +Expand the distfile into a work directory. +.It Cm patch +Apply any patches that are necessary for the port. +.It Cm configure +Configure the port. +Some ports will ask you questions during this stage. +See +.Va INTERACTIVE +and +.Va BATCH . +.It Cm build +Build the port. +This is the same as calling the +.Cm all +target. +.It Cm install +Install the port and register it with the package system. +This is all you really need to do. +.El +.Pp +The following targets are not run during the normal install process. +.Bl -tag -width ".Cm fetch-recursive" +.It Cm showconfig +Display +.Va OPTIONS +config for this port. +.It Cm showconfig-recursive +Display +.Va OPTIONS +config for this port and all its dependencies. +.It Cm

have already had their +.Va OPTIONS +configured. +.It Cm config-recursive +Configure +.Va OPTIONS +for this port and all its dependencies using +.Xr dialog4ports 1 . +.It Cm fetch-list +Show list of files to be fetched in order to build the port. +.It Cm fetch-recursive +Fetch the distfiles of the port and all its dependencies. +.It Cm fetch-recursive-list +Show list of files that would be retrieved by +.Cm fetch-recursive . +.It Cm run-depends-list , build-depends-list +Print a list of all the compile and run dependencies, and dependencies +of those dependencies, by port directory. +.It Cm all-depends-list +Print a list of all dependencies for the port. +.It Cm 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, by port name and version. +.It Cm missing +Print a list of missing dependencies to be installed for the port. +.It Cm clean +Remove the expanded source code. +This recurses to dependencies unless +.Va NOCLEANDEPENDS +is defined. +.It Cm distclean +Remove the port's distfiles and perform the +.Cm clean +target. +The +.Cm clean +portion recurses to dependencies unless +.Va NOCLEANDEPENDS +is defined, but the +.Cm distclean +portion never recurses +(this is perhaps a bug). +.It Cm reinstall +Use this to restore a port after using +.Xr pkg_delete 1 +when you should have used +.Cm deinstall . +.It Cm deinstall +Remove an installed port from the system, similar to +.Xr pkg_delete 1 . +.It Cm deinstall-all +Remove all installed ports with the same +.Va PKGORIGIN +from the system. +.It Cm package +Make a binary package for the port. +The port will be installed if it has not already been. +The package is a +.Pa .tbz +file that you can use to +install the port on other machines with +.Xr pkg_add 1 . +If the directory specified by +.Va PACKAGES +does not exist, the package will be put into the current directory. +See +.Va PKGREPOSITORY +and +.Va PKGFILE . +.It Cm package-recursive +Like +.Cm package , +but makes a package for each depending port as well. +.It Cm package-name +Prints the name with version of the port. +.It Cm readmes +Create a port's +.Pa README.html . +This can be used from +.Pa /usr/ports +to create a browsable web of all ports on your system! +.It Cm search +Search the +.Pa INDEX +file for the pattern specified by the +.Va key +(searches the port name, comment, and dependencies), +.Va name +(searches the port name only), +.Va path +(searches the port path), +.Va info +(searches the port info), +.Va maint +(searches the port maintainer), +.Va cat +(searches the port category), +.Va bdeps +(searches the port build-time dependency), +.Va rdeps +(searches the port run-time dependency), +.Va www +(searches the port web site) +.Xr make 1 +variables, and their exclusion counterparts: +.Va xname , xkey +etc. +For example, one would type: +.Pp +.Dl "cd /usr/ports && make search name=query" +.Pp +to find all ports whose +name matches +.Dq Li query . +Results include the matching ports' path, comment, maintainer, +build dependencies, and run dependencies. +.Bd -literal -offset indent +cd /usr/ports && make search name=pear- \e + xbdeps=apache +.Ed +.Pp +To find all ports whose +names contain +.Dq Li pear- +and which do not have apache +listed in build-time dependencies. +.Bd -literal -offset indent +cd /usr/ports && make search name=pear- \e + xname='ht(tp|ml)' +.Ed +.Pp +To find all ports whose names contain +.Dq Li pear- , +but not +.Dq Li html +or +.Dq Li http . +.Bd -literal -offset indent +make search key=apache display=name,path,info keylim=1 +.Ed +.Pp +To find ports that contain +.Dq Li apache +in either of the name, path, info +fields, ignore the rest of the record. +.Pp +By default the

+.Cm search +output. +Only display name, path and info. +.It Cm describe +Generate a one-line description of each port for use in the +.Pa INDEX +file. +.It Cm maintainer +Display the port maintainer's email address. +.It Cm index +Create +.Pa /usr/ports/INDEX , +which is used by the +.Cm pretty-print-* +and +.Cm search +targets. +Running the +.Cm index +target will ensure your +.Pa
