15.12. The Targets

15.12. The Targets
Prev	Chapter 15. Order of Variables in Port Makefiles	Next

After all the variables are defined, the optional make(1) targets can be defined. Keep pre-* before post-* and in the same order as the different stages run:

fetch
extract
patch
configure
build
install
test

Tip:

When using options helpers target keep them alphabetically sorted, but keep the *-on before the *-off. When also using the main target, keep the main target before the optional ones:

post-install:
	# install generic bits

post-install-DOCS-on:
	# Install documentation

post-install-X11-on:
	# Install X11 related bits

post-install-X11-off:
	# Install bits that should be there if X11 is disabled
