Hi list,
Seeing as I haven't tried pkgsrc on Linux before I decided to try it out
on my host system, Fedora Core 6, to see if anything needed tweaking (I
use pkgsrc on netbsd so am fairly familiar with it), especially as I
have justly "blindly recommended" it :)
Hopefully this will be helpful to anyone else trying (perhaps the
makings of a hint if someone with LFS went through similar examples?).
I started from scratch to compile "tuxracer" (what else? :)
Following the on-line documentation I extracted pkgsrc.tar.gz (from
www.pkgsrc.org) to /usr, and ran /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/bootstrap.
To compile and install into /usr/pkg/{bin,lib,etc} (including dependencies):
cd /usr/pkgsrc/games/tuxracer && make && make install
Things I tweaked in my /usr/pkgsrc/etc/mk.conf:
X11BASE = /usr #pkgsrc looks for include/X11/X.h on the host system,
which, for me, was in /usr
I had to use /usr/pkgsrc/bin/bmake instead of "make" to make install
packages.
I had to make sure /usr/pkg/bin/pkg-config was used not my host's copy
in /usr/bin (ie. set PATH)
I had to install /usr/pkgsrc/devel/imake for some X11 dependencies. This
involved fixing the xorg-cf-files Makefile. This also involved
installing x11/xproto manually (ie. the dependency wasn't handled). I
also had to bash it into working by faking pkg-config output.
For the SDL dependency -> nas dependency I had to bodge
work/.tools/bin/imake as well as pkg-config :( I removed nas support in
SDL as a quick fix after this failed.
I also specified CFLAGS += in the mk.conf for optimizations (note the +=
not and =, as some packages require special CFLAGS...)
Sources are stored in /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles (in case you need to
manually download any).
Make sure your PATH and MANPATH point to /usr/pkg (or whatever you chose
for the pkgsrc base.)
There is a nice "bmake show-options" functionality which lets you
configure the packages so as not to compile unwanted supports for kde
etc. You can globally set options in mk.conf (ala portage). I couldn't
figure out how to show-options for dependencies automatically tho.
"bmake clean CLEANDEPENDS=YES" is useful.
Results:
pkgsrc checks its own pkg db for dependency checking (by default in
/var/db). For a fresh pkgsrc install this was empty so all the
dependencies were compiled (even though most of them already existed on
the host system, just not in /var/db). You could add fake entries into
/var/db but that's an ugly fudge.
After compiling and installing tuxracer (which works) I checked what
pkgsrc had compiled and installed for this using the "pkg_info" tool in
/usr/pkg/sbin.

I should note I only specified not to include nas support in my mk.conf,
and had I specified other supports to be removed less of the above stuff
would have been compiled.
I also checked against which libraries tuxracer was compiled...

pkgsrc include paths included /usr/lib so a lot of the libraries are not
the ones compiled by pkgsrc...
I manually updated /usr/pkg/lib/libGL.so to my system's
/usr/lib/libGL.so to get hardware accelerated tuxracer.
It seems to me to be an "all or nothing" affair. Either use it from the
beginning of your LFS installation to compile everything (and thus
against the "spirit" of LFS as discussed in the original thread
vis-a-vis portage etc) or don't use it, unless you want wasted
space/time although arguably the ease of "make install" might save you
lots (of time)...
It always comes down to personal preference...
Great, I can get back to some work now :)

ps. If there's a package you can't find in pkgsrc try pkgsrc-wip (work
in progress)
