Note: It is also possible to install the (precompiled) packages at this stage, instead of compiling ports. In this case, stage_2.sh would be nothing more than a list of pkg_add commands. I trust you know how to write such a script. Here we concentrate on the more flexible and traditional way of using the ports.
The following stage_2.sh script is how I install my favorite
ports. It can be run any number of times and will skip all ports that are already
installed. It supports the dryrun
option (-n) to just show what would be done. You run it like
stage_1.sh with exactly one argument to denote a config file,
e.g.
which will read the list of ports from stage_2.conf.default.
The list of ports consists of lines with two or more space separated words: the category and the port, optionally followed by an installation command that will compile and install the port (default: make install BATCH=yes < /dev/null). Empty lines and lines starting with # are ignored. Most of the time it suffices to only name category and port. A few ports however can be fine tuned by specifying make variables, e.g.:
www mozilla make WITHOUT_MAILNEWS=yes WITHOUT_CHATZILLA=yes install
In fact you can specify arbitrary shell commands, so you are not restricted to simple make invocations:
java jdk16 echo true > files/license.sh; make install BATCH=yes < /dev/null print acroread8 yes accept | make install PAGER=ls x11-fonts gnu-unifont make install && mkfontdir /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/local news inn-stable CONFIGURE_ARGS="--enable-uucp-rnews --enable-setgid-inews" make install
The first two lines are examples how you can handle ports asking you to accept a licence. Note how the line for news/inn-stable is an example for a one-shot shell variable assignment to CONFIGURE_ARGS. The port Makefile will use this as an initial value and augment some other essential args. The difference to specifying a make variable on the command line with
news inn-stable make CONFIGURE_ARGS="--enable-uucp-rnews --enable-setgid-inews" install
is that the latter will override instead of augment. It depends on the particular port which method you want.
Be careful that your ports do not use an interactive install, i.e. they should not try to read from stdin other than what you explicitly give them on stdin. If they do, they will read the next line(s) from your list of ports in the here-document and get confused. If stage_2.sh mysteriously skips a port or stops processing, this is likely the reason.
Below is stage_2.conf.default. A log file named LOGDIR/category+port is created for each port it actually installs.
