Make install wants to ln -s

Dear LazyArchWeb
I'm trying to create a PKGBUILD for this screensaver called Hills http://www.loria.fr/~rougier/software/hills/
Except when it comes to make install it errors out with a permission denied because it wants to create a link (ln -s -f /usr/bin/hills /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/hills) outside of the /pkg directory....it can't because I'm makepkging as user of course.
So, my poor fried brain can't figure out how to make it want to create the link inside the /pkg directory. Please help

(ln -s -f /usr/bin/hills /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/hills) outside of the /pkg
do it inside!!!
(ln -s -f $strtdir/pkg/usr/bin/hills /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/hills
if make is trying to do it then, you may need to run sed on the script, but I would try running the command after make but before make install...

Hi Terry,
I have checked the serial number and found that you have sufficient activation count left to install it on 2 computers.
Please uninstall the software and activate it on the other machine. In case of issues please let me know and I will help you.

"make install" not working

Whenever i build some program that uses autotools (./configure, make, make install), it compiles fine (after i satisfy dependencies of course) and running make install (as root) succeeds, the program is not available to me. I've tried this with a multitude of programs and i run "sudo ldconfig" after the make install and...nothing, it seems the only way to get these programs to install is to quickly create a PKGBUILD for them, but that's a bit too much work for something i want to test our real quick or something for personal use only. Also, it seems that this does not happen on the one application i tried that uses python and setuptools for build/install.
Any help would be appreciated.

Depends on the user. I'm so used to doing PKGBUILDS at this stage that it's easier for me to do it that way. I find the advantages far outweigh the trivial amount of work involved.
Each to their own, though.

Install kernel using "make install"

There has been some discussion of the proper way to compile a custom kernel for arch lately on the forums. I've been doing some research lately of options of doing this. Also, in the current wiki entry, it mentions not to use make install because it runs lilo. Following I'll outline a differnt way to do it. If others think it is of value, then i'll put it into the wiki.
add the following script into /sbin/installkernel
#!/bin/sh
# Arguments:
# $1 - kernel version
# $2 - kernel image file
# $3 - kernel map file
# $4 - default install path (blank if root directory)
# define input variables
# assume default install path is /boot
# install_path=$4
kver=$1
kimg=$2
kmap=$3
vmlinuz=/boot/vmlinuz-$kver
sysmap=/boot/System.map-$kver
kconfig=/boot/kconfig-$kver
# check for previous versions
if [ -f $vmlinuz ]; then cp $vmlinuz $vmlinuz.old; fi
if [ -f $sysmap ]; then cp $sysmap $sysmap.old; fi
if [ -f $kconfig ]; then cp $kconfig $kconfig.old; fi
# install the image and map files
cat $kimg > $vmlinuz
cp $kmap $sysmap
cp $(dirname "$kmap")/.config $kconfig
# Check for grub, then lilo
grub_menu=/boot/grub/menu.lst
grub_update_conf=/etc/grub-update.conf
if [ -f $grub_menu ] && [ -f $grub_update_conf ]; then
source $grub_update_conf
# don't update it if it already exists
if [ 0 -eq $(grep -sc "vmlinuz-$kver" $grub_menu) ]; then
cp $grub_menu $grub_menu.bck
# off course we'll want the newly compiles one to be the default
default=$(grep -sc "^title" $grub_menu)
sed -i "s/^default *[0-9]/default $default/" $grub_menu
echo >> $grub_menu
echo "# Autogenerated by kernel $kver" >> $grub_menu
echo "title linux $kver" >> $grub_menu
echo "root $grub_root_loc" >> $grub_menu
echo "kernel $grub_boot_loc/vmlinuz-$kver $kopts" >> $grub_menu
echo >> $grub_menu
fi
elif [ -x /sbin/lilo ]; then
/sbin/lilo -v
fi
Add the following to /etc/grub-update.conf if you use grub. Edit the options for your system.
# grub boot location
grub_boot_loc="(hd0,1)"
# grub root location
grub_root_loc="(hd0,3)"
# kernel startup options
kopts="root=/dev/discs/disc0/part4 ro vga=838"
1.) extract kernel source in directory that is not /usr/src.
2.) su - root
3.) mv /path/to/linux-2.6.x to /usr/src/linux-2.6.x-[custom] where custom is whatever you want to use as an extension, for example I use "-wfd".
4.) Edit Makefile in 2.6.x-custom. Change EXTRAVERSION= to EXTRAVERSION=[custom]
6.) optionally copy the /boot/kconfig26 to /usr/src/linux-2.6.x-custom/.config
7.) make xconfig
8.) make bzImage
9.) make modules && make modules_install
10.) make install
This will not alter any of the infrastructure for the current working kernel (unless you have a current 2.6.x-[custom] installed). That way if you screwed up the new kernel, you can boot into the previous one. Make install will call the /sbin/installkernel script if it exists, ant not the /path/to/source/linux-2.6.x-[custome]/arch/i386/boot/install.sh script. This script is what updates lilo even if your using grub. Also if you copied the /etc/grup-update.conf, the grub menu will be updated with an entry for your new kernel.
If you use grub, it is best, IMHO, to uninstall lilo. That way lilo doesn't accidently write over the boot sector if you screwed up the process by putting the installkernel script in the wrong place.
This process was "loosly" inspired by tools in some debian packages.
Please let me know what you think.

if [ -d $install_path/grub ]; then
mv $install_path/kernel-newest $install_path/kernel-previous
ln -s $vmlinuz $install_path/kernel-newest
elif [ -x /sbin/lilo ]; then

I didn't test it, but it should work. The move will fail if there is no link kernel-newest, but that doesn't really matter.

"make install" won't work.

Do you have xcode installed?
Did you ever try to build any Sourceforge projects before this one? I ask that because you don't just "make install" a project. You need to build it first. Generally there's a README file which explains the procedure, configure, make, then make install, but some projects do combine these operations.
Also your shell PATH variable may be set incorrectly and not including /usr/bin where make resides. Since I always install xcode as part of a initial installation I don't remember if make is supplied there or supplied as part of the standard install. But it's immaterial since you aren't going to be able to build Sourceforge projects without xcode because xcode definitely includes the compilers, linkers, etc. needed to do a build.
Finally, IMO, your post probably should have been in the Developer Forums.
Update:
Out of curiousity I downloaded faust-0.9.43 from Sourceforge. It built without any problems. Somewhat of a strange project since it doesn't include the normal configure step. Looking at the makefile I found you can define a DESTDIR to make to override it installing into /usr/local which I didn't want just to test this out. With a configure step you would normally specify a --prefix to configure to accomplish the same thing.

Titan Installation: make install expects to find binaries in PATH it just installed

Steps to reproduce:
cd ~/3rdPartyApps
git clone https://github.com/eclipse/titan.core titan
cd titan
Add Makefile.personal with this content:
TTCN3_DIR := /path/to/install/titan/
OPENSSL_DIR := /usr
JDKDIR := /etc/java-config-2/current-system-vm
XMLDIR := /usr
JNI := yes
GEN_PDF := no
Build: make
Try to install: make install
This fails with:
make[2]: Leaving directory '/path/to/install/titan/demo'
/bin/sh: line 4: ttcn3_start: command not found
kMakefile:25: recipe for target 'install' failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/user/3rdPartyApps/titan/hello'
Makefile:53: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 2
Workaround:
After first failing "make install" add titan/bin to PATH and retry:
PATH=/path/to/install/titan/bin/:${PATH} make install
Solution:
"make install" should use absolute or relative paths to the binaries in "titan/bin".

Hi Lars,
I have added a new section to README.linux:
before
make install
some environment variables better be set:
setenv TTCN3_DIR /path/to/install/titan
setenv PATH /path/to/install/titan/bin:${PATH}
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /path/to/install/titan/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
for csh
or
export TTCN3_DIR=/path/to/install/titan
export PATH=/path/to/install/titan/bin/:${PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/install/titan/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
for bash
Best regards

When does Java Web Start install want to reboot?

Hi,
I'm installing JWS 1.0.1_02 and at least in one case I'm seeing that the install wants to reboot the machine during the install process. I'd like to avoid that if possible, so I would like to understand in what circumstances the install process wants to reboot the machine.
I've seen references in other topics regarding the use of the javawebstart dll that causes a reboot, but I don't think it is the case here.
I have a machine that is W2K that I've installed numerous times and the install has never asked to reboot. I have another machine that is NT that it seems to always want to reboot.
Is it related to OS type? (I need to install on W2K, NT, and 98)
Is it related a running JRE version?
Is it related to a dll running?
Are there other forces at work?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Beth

FWIW, Solaris and Linux don't do any reboots (or
anything else nasty) during WS install.

How do you replicate `make install` in the package() section

I've got myself confused in how to package something that uses cmake.
Here's what I have so far.
pkgname=gonepass
pakgver=git
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A GTK+ 1Password viewer"
arch=('x86_64' 'i686')
licence="Apache 2.0"
url="https://github.com/jbreams/gonepass"
depends=('gtk3'
'openssl'
'jansson'
'pkg-config'
'cmake')
source=("git+https://github.com/jbreams/gonepass")
sha256sums=('SKIP')
pkgver() {
cd gonepass
git log -n 1 --pretty=format:"%H"
build() {
cd ${pkgname%-*}
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/bin ..
make
package() {
make install
What should I be doing in `package()`.
P.S. I also need to work out how to do the package versioning properly but one issue at a time

So the authors PKGBUILD already on the AUR doesn't work. In an attempt to get mine working I've edited it to this:
pkgname=gonepass-git
pkgver=r22.0931c63
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='A GTK+ 1Password viewer'
arch=('x86_64')
licence=('Apache2')
url='https://github.com/jbreams/gonepass'
depends=('gtk3'
'openssl'
'jansson')
makedepends=('cmake')
source=("git+https://github.com/jbreams/gonepass")
sha256sums=('SKIP')
pkgver() {
cd gonepass
printf "r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
build() {
cd gonepass
if [ ! -d build ]; then
mkdir build
fi
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr ..
make
package() {
cd gonepass/build
make GCONF_DISABLE_MAKEFILE_SCHEMA_INSTALL=1 DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install
but still get this "error" on running `makepkg`:
==> Starting package()...
[100%] Built target gonepass
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: ""

Failed to create file '/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled.0N2WWX': Permission denied
-- Installing: /home/jonny/builds/gonepass/pkg/gonepass-git/usr/bin/gonepass
Anyone know how to stop it trying to compile the gsetting scemas?
EDIT: fixed this by changing to simple make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install, and adding -DGSETTINGS_COMPILE=OFF to the cmake command.

[SOLVED]I can build a package with "make install" but not with makepkg

I'm quite new to Arch and it's my first PKGBUILD.
I successfully built the software lhapdf http://www.hepforge.org/archive/lhapdf/ … 3.1.tar.gz with the traditional system:
1) I do a patch for compatibility with gcc 4.3
cd lhapdf-5.3.1
sed -i "s/<string>/<cstring>/" ccwrap/test-lhapdf-ccwrap.cc
and then
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
Then I tried to write a PKGBUILD
pkgname=lhapdf
pkgver=5.3.1

./configure --prefix=/usr
make || return 1
make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install

and it doesn't work. The last lines of the output of makepkg are:

Thank you Snowman, it works with options=('!makeflags'). The changes in the paths were not needed, I copied them from /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD.proto, probably is some new feature.

What should I add to PKGBUILD?
The program is in fortran, so I'm surprised that namcap did not add gcc-fortran in the dependencies. Should I add it to depends or makedepends? Or maybe it is included in gcc-libs?

Lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lr5 when photo is transferred to photo shop

lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lightroom 5 when photo is transferred to photo shop
I am not able to keep the changes made in light room when I transfer to photo shop

Something you need to understand. Unless you are using the latest version of Photoshop Elements, it's possible that some of the adjustments that you make in Lightroom won't transfer to Elements if you choose the option to open anyway. If you choose the option to edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments then Lightroom will create a TIF or PSD file (depending on your preferences), and that file will include all of the adjustments that you have made using Lightroom. Then you can finish your work in Photoshop Elements.
The process of transferring an image from Lightroom to Photoshop or Photoshop Elements involves the Camera Raw plug-in. It has to be used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments and apply those adjustments to the image after it has been converted. Files open in Elements or Photoshop or no longer raw images because those programs are incapable of editing raw image data. I don't know if this will help you in this situation. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.

I'm following along with this tutorial: http://maxpowerindustries.com/2009/09/27/how-to-install-and-configure-squid-on-m ac-os-x/ and I'm on Step 7: Install squid with the following command: sudo make install . After the command executes the terminal just hangs and doesn't return to normal. Any ideas what Im doing wrong?
Thanks Seán

I would not be looking at 2009 instructions knowing that current build instructions, release notes, and other information were present, either online, or within the source distribution. In the preceding hyperlink, you will note that build instructions for OS X (any version) are simply omitted. Dependencies are discussed, such as needing the automake tools.
I would take a closer look at current build requirements (including arguments to ./configure), and build log — as an underlying reason why install hangs in your terminal.

`make install` copies to /usr/local/bin

And /usr/local/bin is apparently not on the default arch $PATH.
This is odd becauase /usr/local/bin is the $bindir apparently for make by default.

echo 'export PATH="${PATH}:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin"' > /etc/profile.d/local-bin.sh && chmod a+x /etc/profile.d/local-bin.sh
But you really should use a PKGBUILD instead of make install so pacman can keep track of your packages in the system.

Make install wants to ln -s
