- <p>WARNING: The <a href=
- "http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?make+1+NetBSD-current">
- <span class="citerefentry"><span class=
- "refentrytitle">make</span>(1)</span></a> man page is
- wrong. After the man page has been corrected, this chapter
- will be updated. Until that, don't take it too serious.</p>
-
- <p>Pkgsrc consists of many <code class=
- "filename">Makefile</code> fragments, each of which forms a
- well-defined part of the pkgsrc system. Using the <a href=
- "http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?make+1+NetBSD-current">
- <span class="citerefentry"><span class=
- "refentrytitle">make</span>(1)</span></a> system as a
- programming language for a big system like pkgsrc requires
- some discipline to keep the code correct and
- understandable.</p>
-
- <p>The basic ingredients for <code class=
- "filename">Makefile</code> programming are variables (which
- are actually macros) and shell commands. Among these shell
- commands may even be more complex ones like <a href=
- "http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?awk+1+NetBSD-current">
- <span class="citerefentry"><span class=
- "refentrytitle">awk</span>(1)</span></a> programs. To make
- sure that every shell command runs as intended it is
- necessary to quote all variables correctly when they are
- used.</p>
-
- <p>This chapter describes some patterns, that appear quite
- often in <code class="filename">Makefile</code>s, including
- the pitfalls that come along with them.</p>

- </div>
- </div>
- </div>
-
- <p>A restriction common to all types of variables is that
- they can neither contain a newline character nor the '\0'
- character nor the '#' character. The effects of the
- backslash character are not documented, so you should not
- use it at the moment. As the $ is used to get values of a
- <code class="filename">Makefile</code> variable, it must
- be quoted as $$.</p>
-
- <p>There are several types of variables that must be
- handled differently.</p>
-

- <ul type="disc">
- <li>
- <p><span class="emphasis"><em>Simple

- <code class="varname">BUILD_DEPENDS</code>.</p>

-
- <li>
- <p><span class="emphasis"><em>External
- lists</em></span> are lists that may be exported to

- <p>Example 3 would output each space character preceded

- <span class="citerefentry"><span class=
- "refentrytitle">echo</span>(1)</span></a> command.</p>
-
- <p>Example 4 handles correctly every string that does

- "http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?echo+1+NetBSD-current">
- <span class="citerefentry"><span class=
- "refentrytitle">echo</span>(1)</span></a> command. As

- start with a dash this form is appropriate.</p>
-
- <p>Example 5 handles even the case of a leading dash
- correctly.</p>
-
- <p>The <code class="varname">EXT_LIST</code> does not
- need to be quoted because the quoting has already be

+
+ <p>Pkgsrc consists of many <code class=
+ "filename">Makefile</code> fragments, each of which forms a
+ well-defined part of the pkgsrc system. Using the <a href=
+ "http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?make+1+NetBSD-current">
+ <span class="citerefentry"><span class=
+ "refentrytitle">make</span>(1)</span></a> system as a
+ programming language for a big system like pkgsrc requires
+ some discipline to keep the code correct and
+ understandable.</p>
+
+ <p>The basic ingredients for <code class=
+ "filename">Makefile</code> programming are variables (which
+ are actually macros) and shell commands. Among these shell
+ commands may even be more complex ones like <a href=
+ "http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?awk+1+NetBSD-current">
+ <span class="citerefentry"><span class=
+ "refentrytitle">awk</span>(1)</span></a> programs. To make
+ sure that every shell command runs as intended it is
+ necessary to quote all variables correctly when they are
+ used.</p>
+
+ <p>This chapter describes some patterns, that appear quite
+ often in <code class="filename">Makefile</code>s, including
+ the pitfalls that come along with them.</p>
+
+ <div class="sect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

+ <div>
+ <h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name=

+ "filename">Makefile</code> variables</h2>
+ </div>
+ </div>
+ </div>
+
+ <p><code class="filename">Makefile</code> variables
+ contain strings that can be processed using the five
+ operators ``='', ``+='', ``?='', ``:='', and ``!='',
+ which are described in the <a href=
+ "http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?make+1+NetBSD-current">
+ <span class="citerefentry"><span class=
+ "refentrytitle">make</span>(1)</span></a> man page.</p>
+
+ <p>When a variable's value is parsed from a <code class=
+ "filename">Makefile</code>, the hash character ``#'' and
+ the backslash character ``\'' are handled specially. If a
+ backslash is followed by a newline, any whitespace
+ immediately in front of the backslash, the backslash, the
+ newline, and any whitespace immediately behind the
+ newline are replaced with a single space. A backspace
+ character and an immediately following hash character are
+ replaced with a single hash character. Otherwise the
+ backslash is passed as is. In a variable assignment, any
+ hash character that is not preceded by a backslash starts
+ a comment that continues upto the end of the logical
+ line.</p>
+
+ <p><span class="emphasis"><em>Note:</em></span> Because
+ of this parsing algorithm the only way to create a
+ variable consisting of a single backslash is using the
+ ``!='' operator, for example: <code class=
+ "varname">BACKSLASH!=echo "\\"</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>So far for defining variables. The other thing you can
+ do with variables is evaluating them. A variable is
+ evaluated when it is part of the right side of the ``:=''
+ or the ``!='' operator, or directly before executing a
+ shell command which the variable is part of. In all other
+ cases <a href=
+ "http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?make+1+NetBSD-current">
+ <span class="citerefentry"><span class=
+ "refentrytitle">make</span>(1)</span></a> performs lazy
+ evaluation, that is, variables are not evaluated until
+ there's no other way. The ``modifiers'' mentioned in the
+ man page also evaluate the variable.</p>
+
+ <p>Some of the modifiers split the string into words and
+ then operate on the words, others operate on the string
+ as a whole. When a string is splitted into words, it is
+ splitted as you would expect it from <a href=
+ "http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?sh+1+NetBSD-current">
+ <span class="citerefentry"><span class=
+ "refentrytitle">sh</span>(1)</span></a>.</p>
+
+ <p>No rule without exception&#8212;the
+ <span><strong class="command">.for</strong></span> loop
+ does not follow the shell quoting rules but splits at
+ sequences of whitespace.</p>
+
+ <p>There are several types of variables that should be
+ handled differently. Strings and two types of lists.</p>
+

+ guideline</h3>
+ </div>
+ </div>
+ </div>
+
+ <p>There are many possible sources of wrongly quoted
+ variables. This section lists some of the commonly
+ known ones.</p>
+
+ <div class="itemizedlist">
+ <ul type="disc">
+ <li>
+ <p>Whenever you use the value of a list, think
+ about what happens to leading or trailing
+ whitespace. If the list is a well-formed shell
+ expression you can apply the <code class=
+ "varname">:M*</code> modifier to strip leading
+ and trailing whitespace from each word. The
+ <code class="varname">:M</code> operator first
+ splits its argument according to the rules of the
+ shell, and then creates a new list consisting of
+ all words that match the shell glob expression
+ <code class="varname">*</code>, that is: all. One
+ class of situations where this is needed is when
+ adding a variable like <code class=
+ "varname">CPPFLAGS</code> to <code class=
+ "varname">CONFIGURE_ARGS</code>. If the configure
+ script invokes other configure scripts it strips
+ the leading and trailing whitespace from the
+ variable and then passes it to the other
+ configure scripts. But these configure scripts
+ expect the (child) <code class=
+ "varname">CPPFLAGS</code> variable to be the same
+ as the parent <code class=
+ "varname">CPPFLAGS</code>. That's why we better
+ pass the <code class="varname">CPPFLAGS</code>
+ value properly trimmed. And here is how we do
+ it:</p>
+ <pre class="programlisting">
+CPPFLAGS= # empty
+CPPFLAGS+= -Wundef -DPREFIX=\"${PREFIX:Q}\"
+CPPFLAGS+= ${MY_CPPFLAGS}
+
+CONFIGURE_ARGS+= CPPFLAGS=${CPPFLAGS:M*:Q}
+
+all:
+ echo x${CPPFLAGS:Q}x # leading and trailing whitespace
+ echo x${CONFIGURE_ARGS}x # properly trimmed
+
+</pre>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>The example above contains one bug: The
+ <code class="varname">${PREFIX}</code> is a
+ properly quoted shell expression, but there is
+ the C compiler after it, which also expects a
+ properly quoted string (this time in C syntax).
+ The version above is therefore only correct if
+ <code class="varname">${PREFIX}</code> does not
+ have embedded backslashes or double quotes. If
+ you want to allow these, you have to add another
+ layer of quoting to each variable that is used as
+ a C string literal. You cannot use the
+ <code class="varname">:Q</code> operator for it,
+ as this operator only works for the shell.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Whenever a variable can be empty the
+ <code class="varname">:Q</code> operator can have
+ surprising results. Here are two completely
+ different cases which can be solved with the same
+ trick.</p>
+ <pre class="programlisting">
+EMPTY= # empty
+empty_test:
+ for i in a ${EMPTY:Q} c; do \
+ echo "$$i"; \
+ done
+
+for_test:
+.for i in a:\ a:\test.txt
+ echo ${i:Q}
+ echo "foo"
+.endfor
+
+</pre>
+
+ <p>The first example will only print two of the
+ three lines we might have expected. This is
+ because <code class="varname">${EMPTY:Q}</code>
+ expands to the empty string, which the shell
+ cannot see. The workaround is to write
+ <code class="varname">${EMPTY:Q}""</code>. This
+ pattern can be often found as <code class=
+ "varname">${TEST} -z ${VAR:Q}</code> or as
+ <code class="varname">${TEST} -f
+ ${FNAME:Q}</code> (both of these are wrong).</p>
+
+ <p>The second example will only print three lines
+ instead of four. The first line looks like
+ <code class="varname">a:\ echo foo</code>. This
+ is because the backslash of the value
+ <code class="varname">a:\</code> is interpreted
+ as a line-continuation by <a href=
+ "http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?make+1+NetBSD-current">
+ <span class="citerefentry"><span class=
+ "refentrytitle">make</span>(1)</span></a>, which
+ makes the second line the arguments of the
+ <a href=
+ "http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?echo+1+NetBSD-current">
+ <span class="citerefentry"><span class=
+ "refentrytitle">echo</span>(1)</span></a> command
+ from the first line. To avoid this, write
+ <code class="varname">${i:Q}""</code>.</p>

-WARNING: The make(1) man page is wrong. After the man page has been corrected,
-this chapter will be updated. Until that, don't take it too serious.
-
-Pkgsrc consists of many Makefile fragments, each of which forms a well-defined
-part of the pkgsrc system. Using the make(1) system as a programming language
-for a big system like pkgsrc requires some discipline to keep the code correct
-and understandable.
-
-The basic ingredients for Makefile programming are variables (which are
-actually macros) and shell commands. Among these shell commands may even be
-more complex ones like awk(1) programs. To make sure that every shell command
-runs as intended it is necessary to quote all variables correctly when they are
-used.
-
-This chapter describes some patterns, that appear quite often in Makefiles,
-including the pitfalls that come along with them.
-
-7.1. Makefile variables
-
-A restriction common to all types of variables is that they can neither contain
-a newline character nor the '\0' character nor the '#' character. The effects
-of the backslash character are not documented, so you should not use it at the
-moment. As the $ is used to get values of a Makefile variable, it must be
-quoted as $$.
-
-There are several types of variables that must be handled differently.
-
- * Simple values (which I will call atoms) can contain any string, which does
- not have to be quoted in any way. All other types are somewhat restricted
- in their possible values.
-
- * Internal lists are lists that are never exported to any shell command.
- Their elements are separated by whitespace. Therefore the elements
- themselves cannot have embedded whitespace. Any other characters are
- allowed. Internal lists can be used in .for loops. Examples are DEPENDS,
- BUILD_DEPENDS.
-
- * External lists are lists that may be exported to a shell command. Their
- elements can contain any characters, including whitespace. That's why they
- cannot be used in .for loops. Examples are DISTFILES and MASTER_SITES.
-
-7.2. Code snippets
-
-This section presents you with some code snippets you should use in your own
-code. If you don't find anything appropriate here, you should test your code
-and add it here.
-
-7.2.1. Adding things to a list
-
-ATOM= foo * bar `date`
-INT_LIST= # empty
-ANOTHER_INT_LIST= apache-[0-9]*:../../www/apache
-EXT_LIST= # empty
-ANOTHER_EXT_LIST= a=b c=d
-
-INT_LIST+= ${ATOM} # 1
-INT_LIST+= ${ANOTHER_INT_LIST} # 2
-EXT_LIST+= ${ATOM:Q} # 3
-EXT_LIST+= ${ANOTHER_EXT_LIST} # 4
-
-
-When you add an atom to an external list (example 3), it must be quoted. In all
-other cases, you must not add a quoting level. You must not merge internal and
-external lists, unless you are sure that all entries are correctly interpreted
-in both lists.
-
-7.2.2. Converting an internal list into an external list
-
-EXT_LIST= # empty
-.for i in ${INT_LIST}
-EXT_LIST+= ${i:Q}
-.endfor
-
-
-This code converts the internal list INT_LIST into the external list EXT_LIST.
-As the elements of an internal list are unquoted they must be quoted here.
-
-7.2.3. Passing variables to a shell command
-
-ATOM= foo bar < > * `date` $$HOME ' "
-EXT_LIST= atom=${ATOM:Q} x=second\ item
-
-all:
- echo ${ATOM} # 1
- echo "${ATOM}" # 2
- echo "${ATOM:Q}" # 3
- echo ${ATOM:Q} # 4
- echo x${ATOM:Q} | sed 1s,.,, # 5
- env ${EXT_LIST} /bin/sh -c 'echo "$$atom"; echo "$$x"'
-
-
-Example 1 leads to a syntax error in the shell, as the characters are just
-copied.
-
-Example 2 leads to a syntax error too, and if you leave out the last "
-character from ${ATOM}, date(1) would be executed. The $HOME shell variable
-would be evaluated, too.
-
-Example 3 would output each space character preceded by a backslash (or not),
-depending on the implementation of the echo(1) command.
-
-Example 4 handles correctly every string that does not start with a dash. In
-that case, the result depends on the implementation of the echo(1) command. As
-long as you can guarantee that your input does not start with a dash this form
-is appropriate.
-
-Example 5 handles even the case of a leading dash correctly.
-
-The EXT_LIST does not need to be quoted because the quoting has already be done
-when adding elements to the list.
-
-As internal lists shall not be passed to the shell, there is no example for it.

+
+Pkgsrc consists of many Makefile fragments, each of which forms a well-defined
+part of the pkgsrc system. Using the make(1) system as a programming language
+for a big system like pkgsrc requires some discipline to keep the code correct
+and understandable.
+
+The basic ingredients for Makefile programming are variables (which are
+actually macros) and shell commands. Among these shell commands may even be
+more complex ones like awk(1) programs. To make sure that every shell command
+runs as intended it is necessary to quote all variables correctly when they are
+used.
+
+This chapter describes some patterns, that appear quite often in Makefiles,
+including the pitfalls that come along with them.
+
+8.1. Makefile variables
+
+Makefile variables contain strings that can be processed using the five
+operators ``='', ``+='', ``?='', ``:='', and ``!='', which are described in the
+make(1) man page.
+
+When a variable's value is parsed from a Makefile, the hash character ``#'' and
+the backslash character ``\'' are handled specially. If a backslash is followed
+by a newline, any whitespace immediately in front of the backslash, the
+backslash, the newline, and any whitespace immediately behind the newline are
+replaced with a single space. A backspace character and an immediately
+following hash character are replaced with a single hash character. Otherwise
+the backslash is passed as is. In a variable assignment, any hash character
+that is not preceded by a backslash starts a comment that continues upto the
+end of the logical line.
+
+Note: Because of this parsing algorithm the only way to create a variable
+consisting of a single backslash is using the ``!='' operator, for example:
+BACKSLASH!=echo "\\".
+
+So far for defining variables. The other thing you can do with variables is
+evaluating them. A variable is evaluated when it is part of the right side of
+the ``:='' or the ``!='' operator, or directly before executing a shell command
+which the variable is part of. In all other cases make(1) performs lazy
+evaluation, that is, variables are not evaluated until there's no other way.
+The ``modifiers'' mentioned in the man page also evaluate the variable.
+
+Some of the modifiers split the string into words and then operate on the
+words, others operate on the string as a whole. When a string is splitted into
+words, it is splitted as you would expect it from sh(1).
+
+No rule without exception?the .for loop does not follow the shell quoting rules
+but splits at sequences of whitespace.
+
+There are several types of variables that should be handled differently.
+Strings and two types of lists.
+
+ * Strings can contain arbitrary characters. Nevertheless you should restrict
+ yourself to only using printable characters. Examples are PREFIX and
+ COMMENT.
+
+ * Internal lists are lists that are never exported to any shell command.
+ Their elements are separated by whitespace. Therefore the elements
+ themselves cannot have embedded whitespace. Any other characters are
+ allowed. Internal lists can be used in .for loops. Examples are DEPENDS and
+ BUILD_DEPENDS.
+
+ * External lists are lists that may be exported to a shell command. Their
+ elements can contain any characters, including whitespace. That's why they
+ cannot be used in .for loops. Examples are DISTFILES and MASTER_SITES.
+
+8.1.1. Naming conventions
+
+ * All variable names starting with an underscore are reserved for use by the
+ pkgsrc infrastructure. They shall not be used by package Makefiles.
+
+ * In .for loops you should use lowercase variable names for the iteration
+ variables.
+
+ * All list variables should have a ``plural'' name, e.g. PKG_OPTIONS or
+ DISTFILES.
+
+8.2. Code snippets
+
+This section presents you with some code snippets you should use in your own
+code. If you don't find anything appropriate here, you should test your code
+and add it here.
+
+8.2.1. Adding things to a list
+
+STRING= foo * bar `date`
+INT_LIST= # empty
+ANOTHER_INT_LIST= apache-[0-9]*:../../www/apache
+EXT_LIST= # empty
+ANOTHER_EXT_LIST= a=b c=d
+
+INT_LIST+= ${STRING} # 1
+INT_LIST+= ${ANOTHER_INT_LIST} # 2
+EXT_LIST+= ${STRING:Q} # 3
+EXT_LIST+= ${ANOTHER_EXT_LIST} # 4
+
+
+When you add a string to an external list (example 3), it must be quoted. In
+all other cases, you must not add a quoting level. You must not merge internal
+and external lists, unless you are sure that all entries are correctly
+interpreted in both lists.
+
+8.2.2. Converting an internal list into an external list
+
+EXT_LIST= # empty
+.for i in ${INT_LIST}
+EXT_LIST+= ${i:Q}""
+.endfor
+
+
+This code converts the internal list INT_LIST into the external list EXT_LIST.
+As the elements of an internal list are unquoted they must be quoted here. The
+reason for appending "" is explained below.
+
+8.2.3. Passing variables to a shell command
+
+STRING= foo bar < > * `date` $$HOME ' "
+EXT_LIST= string=${STRING:Q} x=second\ item
+
+all:
+ echo ${STRING} # 1
+ echo "${STRING}" # 2
+ echo "${STRING:Q}" # 3
+ echo ${STRING:Q} # 4
+ echo x${STRING:Q} | sed 1s,.,, # 5
+ env ${EXT_LIST} /bin/sh -c 'echo "$$string"; echo "$$x"'
+
+
+Example 1 leads to a syntax error in the shell, as the characters are just
+copied.
+
+Example 2 leads to a syntax error too, and if you leave out the last "
+character from ${STRING}, date(1) will be executed. The $HOME shell variable
+would be evaluated, too.
+
+Example 3 outputs each space character preceded by a backslash (or not),
+depending on the implementation of the echo(1) command.
+
+Example 4 handles correctly every string that does not start with a dash. In
+that case, the result depends on the implementation of the echo(1) command. As
+long as you can guarantee that your input does not start with a dash this form
+is appropriate.
+
+Example 5 handles even the case of a leading dash correctly.
+
+The EXT_LIST does not need to be quoted because the quoting has already be done
+when adding elements to the list.
+
+As internal lists shall not be passed to the shell, there is no example for it.
+
+8.2.4. Quoting guideline
+
+There are many possible sources of wrongly quoted variables. This section lists
+some of the commonly known ones.
+
+ * Whenever you use the value of a list, think about what happens to leading
+ or trailing whitespace. If the list is a well-formed shell expression you
+ can apply the :M* modifier to strip leading and trailing whitespace from
+ each word. The :M operator first splits its argument according to the rules
+ of the shell, and then creates a new list consisting of all words that
+ match the shell glob expression *, that is: all. One class of situations
+ where this is needed is when adding a variable like CPPFLAGS to
+ CONFIGURE_ARGS. If the configure script invokes other configure scripts it
+ strips the leading and trailing whitespace from the variable and then
+ passes it to the other configure scripts. But these configure scripts
+ expect the (child) CPPFLAGS variable to be the same as the parent CPPFLAGS.
+ That's why we better pass the CPPFLAGS value properly trimmed. And here is
+ how we do it:
+
+ CPPFLAGS= # empty
+ CPPFLAGS+= -Wundef -DPREFIX=\"${PREFIX:Q}\"
+ CPPFLAGS+= ${MY_CPPFLAGS}
+
+ CONFIGURE_ARGS+= CPPFLAGS=${CPPFLAGS:M*:Q}
+
+ all:
+ echo x${CPPFLAGS:Q}x # leading and trailing whitespace
+ echo x${CONFIGURE_ARGS}x # properly trimmed
+
+
+ * The example above contains one bug: The ${PREFIX} is a properly quoted
+ shell expression, but there is the C compiler after it, which also expects
+ a properly quoted string (this time in C syntax). The version above is
+ therefore only correct if ${PREFIX} does not have embedded backslashes or
+ double quotes. If you want to allow these, you have to add another layer of
+ quoting to each variable that is used as a C string literal. You cannot use
+ the :Q operator for it, as this operator only works for the shell.
+
+ * Whenever a variable can be empty the :Q operator can have surprising
+ results. Here are two completely different cases which can be solved with
+ the same trick.
+
+ EMPTY= # empty
+ empty_test:
+ for i in a ${EMPTY:Q} c; do \
+ echo "$$i"; \
+ done
+
+ for_test:
+ .for i in a:\ a:\test.txt
+ echo ${i:Q}
+ echo "foo"
+ .endfor
+
+
+ The first example will only print two of the three lines we might have
+ expected. This is because ${EMPTY:Q} expands to the empty string, which the
+ shell cannot see. The workaround is to write ${EMPTY:Q}"". This pattern can
+ be often found as ${TEST} -z ${VAR:Q} or as ${TEST} -f ${FNAME:Q} (both of
+ these are wrong).
+
+ The second example will only print three lines instead of four. The first
+ line looks like a:\ echo foo. This is because the backslash of the value a:
+ \ is interpreted as a line-continuation by make(1), which makes the second
+ line the arguments of the echo(1) command from the first line. To avoid
+ this, write ${i:Q}"".
+
+8.2.5. Workaround for a bug in BSD Make
+
+The pkgsrc bmake program does not handle the following assignment correctly. In
+case _othervar_ contains a ``-'' character, one of the closing braces is
+included in ${VAR} after this code executes.
+
+ VAR:= ${VAR:N${_othervar_:C/-//}}
+
+
+For a more complex code snippet and a workaround, see the package regress/
+make-quoting, testcase bug1.
