Hi,

For some time, I've been using a script called "makeport.pl" to
auto-generate port skeletons for new ports.  Unfortunately, just as I
was about to release it to the world, a whole slew of changes hit the
ports tree, and it was way out of date.

I'm now recreating the automated generation tools, and they're available
at http://mithrandr.moria.org/nbm/mkptools/ .

mkpskel takes a tarball and creates an empty ports skeleton in a
directory.  It'll guess what PORTNAME, PORTVERSION, DISTNAME, and
friends are supposed to be.  For example gopher2_3.tar.gz becomes:

PORTNAME=       gopher
PORTVERSION=    2.3
DISTNAME=       gopher2_3

But bzip2-1.0.1.tar.gz becomes:

PORTNAME=       bzip2
PORTVERSION=    1.0.1

And Squishdot-0-7-1.tar.gz (incorrectly, due to capitalization) becomes:

PORTNAME=       Squishdot
PORTVERSION=    0.7.1
DISTNAME=       Squishdot-0-7-1

And so on.

mkpextr extracts the tarball, and figures a few things out.  Firstly, it
works out what WRKSRC or NO_WRKSUBDIR should be set to, if necessary.
Then it checks if there's a Makefile, and sets NO_BUILD and NO_INSTALL
if not, or finds the right Makefile.

It then checks for 'configure', and sees what options it recognizes in
there.

For gview, I get:

LIB_DEPENDS=    gtk12.2:${PORTSDIR}/x11-toolkits/gtk12

GNU_CONFIGURE=  YES
CONFIGURE_ENV=  GTK_CONFIG="${GTK_CONFIG}"

GTK_CONFIG=     ${X11BASE}/bin/gtk12-config

For gicq, I get:

LIB_DEPENDS=    gnome.4:${PORTSDIR}/x11/gnomelibs       \
                gtk12.2:${PORTSDIR}/x11-toolkits/gtk12

GNU_CONFIGURE=  YES

CONFIGURE_ENV=  GTK_CONFIG="${GTK_CONFIG}"
GTK_CONFIG=     ${X11BASE}/bin/gtk12-config

For kicq, I get:

LIB_DEPENDS=    kdecore.4:${PORTSDIR}/x11/kdelibs2

GNU_CONFIGURE=  YES

USE_QT= YES

mkpmerge merges the result of mkpskel and mkpextr, in a way that allows
it to be run as often as desired - it places # -- eos --- at the end of
Makefile after mkpskel, and mkpextr after it.

mkpclean removes Makefile.extr, Makefile.old, and 'make clean's.

Anyway, I've only just got back to hacking on these.  makeport.pl also
attempted USE_GMAKE if 'make' failed in a specific way, and searched for
ALL_TARGET, if it wasn't 'all'.  Anyway, I'd love some comments.

Cheers,

Neil
