pkgsrc has its origins as a fork of the FreeBSD Ports Collection. It consists of Makefiles interpreted by the NetBSD "make" command. These Makefiles use dependencies so that packages build in the correct order. Thus when you do this: # cd /usr/pkgsrc/games/nethack # make install First, this installs any dependent packages, such as X11 or Qt, if they are missing. Then it runs several phases to download, patch, build and install the package. The pkgsrc Makefiles call the package's Makefiles to do the actual build and install.

An interesting study is to examine the patches that pkgsrc provides, to check if Unix software required portability fixes.
