Once you have the build script for a package, makepkg will do the rest: download and validate source files, check dependencies, configure the build-time settings, build the package, install the package into a temporary root, make -customizations, generate meta-info, and package the whole thing up for pacman to -use. +customizations, generate meta-info, and package the whole thing up for pacman +to use. -makeworld can be used to rebuild an entire package group or the entire build tree. -See `makeworld --help` for syntax. +makeworld can be used to rebuild an entire package group or the entire build +tree. See `makeworld \--help` for syntax. Options ------- -*-b, --builddeps*:: +*-A, \--ignorearch*:: + Ignore a missing or incomplete arch field in the build script.

When makepkg finds missing build-time or run-time dependencies, it will look for the dependencies' PKGBUILD files under ABSROOT (set in makepkg.conf). If it finds them it will call makepkg to build and install the missing dependencies. The child calls will be made with the `-b` and `-i` options. -*-c, --clean*:: +*-c, \--clean*:: Clean up leftover work files and directories after a successful build. -*-C, --cleancache*:: +*-C, \--cleancache*:: Removes all cached source files from the directory specified in SRCDEST in manlink:makepkg.conf[5]. -*-d, --nodeps*:: +*-d, \--nodeps*:: Do not perform any dependency checks. This will let you override and ignore any dependencies required. There is a good chance this option will break the build process if all of the dependencies are not installed. -*-e, --noextract*:: +*-e, \--noextract*:: Do not extract source files; use whatever source already exists in the src/ directory. This is handy if you want to go into src and manually patch or tweak code, then make a package out of the result. Keep in mind that creating a patch may be a better solution to allow others to use your PKGBUILD. -*-f, --force*:: +*-f, \--force*:: makepkg will not build a package if a built package already exists in the PKGDEST (set in manlink:makepkg.conf[5]) directory, which may default to the current directory. This allows the built package to be overwritten. -*-g, --geninteg*:: +*-g, \--geninteg*:: For each source file in the source array of PKGBUILD, download the file if required and generate integrity checks. The integrity checks generated are determined by the value of the INTEGRITY_CHECK array in manlink:makepkg.conf[5]. This output can be redirected into your PKGBUILD for source validation (`makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD`). -*-h, --help*:: +*-h, \--help*:: Output syntax and command line options. -*-i, --install*:: - Install or upgrade the package after a successful build using pacman. +*-i, \--install*:: + Install or upgrade the package after a successful build using + manlink:pacman[8]. -*-m, --nocolor*:: +*-m, \--nocolor*:: Disable color in output messages. -*-o, --nobuild*:: +*-o, \--nobuild*:: Download and extract files only, but do not build them.

This is useful if you forgot a depend or install file in your PKGBUILD and the build itself will not change. -*-s, --syncdeps*:: +*-s, \--syncdeps*:: Install missing dependencies using pacman.
