[SOLVED] AUR package doesn't re-build with makepkg -ef

Both the ABS version and the AUR (xscreensaver-arch-logo) compile just fine first time around.
However, the moment I want to recompile them I get the following error:
$ makepkg -ef
==> Making package: xscreensaver 5.12-2 (Thu Apr 21 15:06:32 EST 2011)

Don't have the faintest what might be wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks, but that actually defeats the purpose of using "makepkg -ef". ./src is where you do changes to the source files to then recompile.
I'm blind, then, sorry about that .

[SOLVED] AUR package not building for haskell-platform

Perhaps you haven't installed the "dyn" libraries for package `text-0.11.3.1'?
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
However, I can actually confirm that this *does* build when I do it with cabal itself. For some reason issuing an indirect build via arch build system causes failure. Here is the output from `ghc-pkg list text`:
/usr/lib/ghc-7.6.3/package.conf.d
text-0.11.3.1
Any ideas as to what is going wrong would be much appreciated.

I notice from the AUR webpage for the package this has happened before but searching has come up empty on how to fix it aside from waiting on someone to update the package. What's my play other than wait?

Make a comment on the AUR about the problem. If it's had the problem for several weeks, try to contact the maintainer (look up their username on the forums, see if they put an email address in the PKGBUILD, etc.). If that also fails, then send an email to aur-general and ask for the package to be orphaned, so you or another user can pick it up and fix it.

Reason enough IMO. But anyway... you refer to the Traditional build method in the wiki, but is it possible you didn't really read it? Or maybe you only skimmed it? Did you run make menuconfig? Did you try to build everything in instead of using modules? That mkinitcpio output suggests that you did.
As suggested there for first-timers, it's a good idea to start with a kernel configuration that is known to work - the Arch config is the obvious choice, but there are other sources e.g. http://kernel-seeds.org/ .

[SOLVED] xfce4-terminal doesn't tab-autocomplete with sudo commands

Wondering if this is a limitation of xfce4-terminal or something that can be enabled.
In xfce4-terminal, if I type pac and press tab key, it autocompletes to pacman. If I type sudo pac and press tab, it won't autocomplete. The same is true when trying to complete anything after starting with sudo as the first word of the command. Paths resolve fine though after sudo, just not program names or commands.
Fixable?

Thank you so much
I went for the option to add it in my ~/.bashrc file instead of installing the bash-completion package. Rebooted and it works!

Update SVN / Git AUR packages only if the source has been changed?

I know that it is possible to just reinstall a package from the AUR, thereby replacing the previously installed, by simply running "-S <package name>" as parameter. However, I would like to have yaourt / clyde to only proceed if the current SVN / Git source was actually updated - i. e. them not to uselessly download, recompile etc. if the revision found is exactly the same as already installed, but just to stop.
Do parameters that cause this behavior exist? If so, is there a variant that adds this to the normal update procedure? Thanks.
Last edited by misc (2010-06-12 11:02:32)

This is actually the default behaviour of makepkg. If the package is in the build directory, makepkg recognises that it does not need to build the package. My guess is yaourt builds in a temporary directory and move the package out at the end so this does not work.

Bulding with makepkg results in chroot()...missing plus other errors

I've been trying to make and build iroffer-dinoex from AUR, exept I noticed during the configure, it complained that chroot() missing. I went and ran configure manually to make sure chroot() wasn't really missing, and it worked fine. Not only that, but when building from makepkg, I get a bunch of warnings from GCC, while building it manually brings up no errors. Any idea how the environment changes between building manually and using makepkg? I know you can fiddle with the gcc build options in /etc/makepkg, but that's all I know about changing builds with makepkg.
Thanks

I meant to say warnings not errors in the title. Warnings:

Which clashes with the notice that
No errors or warnings should appear when compiling, if they do, something is wrong
Also, does missing chroot() have any impact? I presume that if iroffer has a chroot option in the settings, it no longer works?
Configuring and making manually, using the same directory that makepkg made, results in a clean build without warnings and without the chroot() missing issue.

[SOLVED] can't build an AUR package while installing Arch

So I am nearly there installing Arch for the first time. And I will start with saying that I am really sorry if I missed the answer to my problem but I have had a look around the documentation and the general webz for something regarding this problem and haven't found anything.
I am trying to set my wireless connection up but I apparently need the AUR b43-firmware package installed for my Broadcom BCM4322 [14e4:432b] to be functional.
So I follow the documentation to install an AUR package, but I am stuck at the building stage as makepkg does not allow me to build if I am root, and I am root by default while installing/configuring Arch...
What should I do to build and install that package so I have a wireless connection later on?
Cheers
Last edited by chtfn (2015-03-21 14:11:12)

I am connected to the wired network, and I followed the steps to make it persistent for later, but I just wanted to go through the wireless stuff too to be extra sure I will be able to connect to the Internet later on. As it is the first time I install Arch, I am trying to be extra cautious, and having that security would make me feel more comfortable! Plus, I am keen to learn how to do those things from the command line.
Isn't there a way to switch to a normal user just for a command, and automatically reverting back to root when that action is finished? Just like sudo but the other way round

[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:

[SOLVED]Weird conflict with official packages and aur packages

Hi. I have enchant-zemberek installed on my system. It is my package that i'm maintaining at AUR. Yesterday i tried to install poedit which depends on enchant. Weirdly altoguh enchant-zemberek provides enchant; pacman tried to remove enchant-zemberek and instead install enchant. Otherwise it won't let me install poedit. I have updated enchant-zemberek PKGBUILD and pacman let me install poedit without forcing me to install enchant. Here is what i have in my first PKGBUILD before update:
replaces=("enchant")
provides=("enchant")
conflicts=('enchant')
And after updating;
replaces=("enchant=${pkgver}")
provides=("enchant=${pkgver}")
conflicts=('enchant')
Now, i'm wondering while an AUR package have different package name than the official one why pacman tries to replace it? Why PKGBUILD needs package version in provides tag? Say, if i want to keep my own my-abc-1.0-1.i686.pkg.tar.xz but official package abc-1.1-1.i686.pkg.tar.xz released; must i keep my package only in Ignores array? Should i report this as a bug?
Last edited by tarakbumba (2011-04-07 09:52:41)

No, its not a bug. poedit depends on gtkspell which depends on enchant>=1.5.0 - your original custom enchant package did not provide any specific version of enchant, so pacman pulled in the repo package instead to satisfy the versioned dependency. As you have built your package with replaces=enchant, pacman also honours that.

[SOLVED] Archiso : installing AUR packages on a live image

Hi all,
I'm quite an arch newbie, I'm trying to setup a live USB stick, with the help of archiso. My goal is to finally get an "audio oriented" system (with jack, ardour, qsampler, and so more...).
During the setup everything was working very well, until I tried to add some AUR packages to the install.
On the arch website, I found this tip, which gave me a great hope about this.
I'm not so familiar with Arch package management, but ok, I try to make a test : adding the "qsampler" AUR package. It needs "linuxsampler", "qt4", and "liblscp" as dependencies. "linuxsampler" and "qt4" are official packages, so I just have to add them to packages.both in the archiso working directory. "liblscp" is an AUR package (with no dependency); so there is 2 AUR packages to install : "liblscp", and "qsampler".
So I create a directory tree like described in the tip, download the two build packages from AUR, and for each of them I do (something) like described there :
# tar -xvf tarball_filename.tar.gz
# cd tarball_filename
# makepkg --asroot
# mv *.xz ..
# cd ..
# rm -r tarball_filename{,.tar.gz}
And then:
# repo-add customrepo.db.tar.gz *.xz
(I'm staying as root because it's red written to stay as root for the image creation. I think it's stupid, but people make stupid things when they are desesperate. Sorry I didn't take the time to test the code above again, it's only memory, but it was very similar)
I did the same for both architectures (i686 and x86_64), so that my custom repo looks like this:
~/liveusb/customrepo # ls -R
i686 x86_64
./i686:
customrepo.db customrepo.db.tar.gz liblscp-0.5.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
./x86_64:
customrepo.db customrepo.db.tar.gz liblscp-0.5.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz qsampler-0.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Oops... I just noticed I did wrong for i686 machines, but it doesn't matter for the moment, since I'm working on an x86_64 machine.
As explained in the tip, I add the following lines to pacman.conf (in the archiso working directory):
[customrepo]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = file:///my/path/to/customrepo/$arch
From my point of view, at this point, the USB stick is ready to be updated:
~/liveusb # ./build.sh -v
and then (with /dev/sdf as my usb stick device):
~/liveusb # dd if=out/archlinux-2014.10.01-dual.iso of=/dev/sdf
But when I boot on the USB stick, there's no trace of qsampler (linuxsampler, however, is present).
Since it happened, I'm feeling like a lost, lonely man, on a desert island... Thinking about the "why", the "how"..., the meaning of life..., of package management... all this stuff
I'm sure I did something wrong about the "custom repository", and the main reason is I don't deeply understand all the steps about this; that's why I'm looking for help
Any idea?
Many thanks
Last edited by yolenoyer (2014-10-02 09:16:57)

Thank you for the reply,
I think I did a more trivial mistake :
With archiso, the packages are automatically installed, from a package list file called "packages.both", and "packages.x86_64", "packages.i686" for architecture dependent packages. But they only use common repos by default. The "'qsampler" is not in official repos (that's why I choosed this one for my question).
So, ok, I setup a common repo (with some mistakes but it was working), BUT...
I just forgot to put the package name in the packages.both file...
So, now that I did it, I just have an error about the package architecture, which I think possible to fix, just by rebuilding the common repo in a correct manner:
~/liveusb # ./build -v
warning: vlc-2.1.5-3 is up to date -- reinstalling
warning: mplayer-37224-2 is up to date -- reinstalling
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)

About the static iso image : the idea of building an iso image with all my personnal tools and config already installed on it is very pleasant to me, including the fact that you can burn it on a CD as well. The persistent acpect would be pleasant too, but in a secondary way.

Can you check if:
sudo mkdir /etc/hal/fdi
sudo touch /etc/hal/fdi/policy
solves the problem?

Can't install AUR packages(makepkg: invalid option '--asroot')[SOLVED]

I've been unable to install any AUR packages with either packer or yaourt since a couple days ago possibly after a system update.
For example if I try to install kodi-standalone-service:
sudo packer -S kodi-standalone-service
(Type - y, n, n)
makepkg: invalid option '--asroot'
The build failed.
This happens to all packages I tried including ones that I installed before with the same command. I installed yaourt after I started to get this error but fails just like packer. I tried running as root or normal user with same results.
In case it matters, these are the steps I used to install packer.
I am at a loss as to why it suddenly stopped working, any ideas?

I googled the error with no relevant results, then I searched the forum to make sure it wasn't solved with no relevant results returned for the search term "makepkg: invalid option '--asroot')". It's ironic that you accused me of not searching when you haven't bothered to search the error message yourself. If you had you would know the search does not return useful results until this post.
Sorry, I only searched for --asroot which brought up several relevant threads.
No big deal, but in general you shouldn't post things like "search the forum" as it's rarely helpful, and when it is the thread should probably be closed it those cases anyways...

Yaourt: Problems installing generated AUR packages [SOLVED]

Hello.
I'm using Archlinux and the system works flawessly. Sadly, there's a problem when trying to install AUR packages.
The following happens installing any AUR package I tried lately.
==> Continue installing wicked-git? [Y/n]
==> [v]iew package contents [c]heck package with namcap
==> ----------------------------------------------

error: './wicked-git-20090112-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz': cannot open package file

==> WARNING: Unable to copy wicked-git-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz to /tmp/yaourt-tmp-timofonic/ directory
Any idea about how to fix it? I tried using both an user with sudo and root, same problem.
Regards.

Perhaps the method to use is given by the man pacman files.
pacman -U (.pkg.tar.gz package ID found in the directory generating the package)
For example: ...pacman -U /var/local/kernel26-2.6.30-5-x86-64.pkg.tar.gz......since the pkg generated is in that directory for this theoretical case.
Any locally generated package is loaded with ...pacman -U....
What do you mean? The package doesn't exist, I double checked it.
Maybe I need to check where yaourt writes it. Any suggestion about what util to use for that?
EDIT: I used "lsof" command and found the file is there, but yaourt can't locate it and deletes the directory after
$ ls /tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/aur-wicked-git/wicked-git/w*
/tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/aur-wicked-git/wicked-git/wicked-git-20090708-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
/tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/aur-wicked-git/wicked-git/wicked-git-20090709-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Please, could anyone help me to solve this problem?
