14 It makes life much simpler if you only use the same gcc consistently
15 for building all packages.
17 It is recommended that an external gcc be used only for bootstrapping

23 Here is an example mk.conf:
26 # Configure scripts don't always get this right
27 MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM=powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0
32 PKGMAKECONF=${MAKECONF}
35 You also need to setup a few environment variables:
37 PKG_DBDIR=/usr/pkg/pkgdb
38 MAKECONF=/usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf
39 MAKESYSPATH=/usr/pkg/share/mk
