xbps-make: Minimal Package Builder for XBPS

A lightweight, POSIX-compliant Makefile wrapper to automate building packages for the XBPS package manager (used in Void Linux). Designed for developers who want a simple, scriptable interface to streamline package builds without complex tooling.

Features

Minimal dependecies (coreutils, xbps, bmake, git, curl, sed, tar, gzip)
Declarative build system
Hackable for other package managments
Rebuilds only when necessary

Usage

	bmake devel/tcc.src   # download source
	bmake devel/tcc.xbps  # build and make package
	bmake clean           # clean build directory if failed

Options

You can customize behavior with these environment variables:

Variable	Description
MAN=no	Skip installinkg man pages
POSIX=no	Skip installing POSIX-compilant options
BUILDDIR=path	Set custom path to compile `.src` files
CACHEDIR=path	Set custom cache directory fo `.src` files
XBPSDIR=path	Set custom path to output directory for `.xbps` packages

Warning

This project is built with bmake (NetBSD make). Other POSIX-compliant make tools should work, but haven't been tested.
GNU Make is not supported — its include syntax is incompatible with POSIX make.
