Guys, I am having 2 difficulties building in my archroot environment. I have created the archroot in /home/david/chbld/root. I have managed to build trinity-qt3, trinity-pyqt3 and trinity-tqtinterface in the archroot, but now when I start building packages that rely on the installed package environment, I am encountering errors: (1) The pkgbuilds use exports to set the cmake environment. eg.: export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/qt export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/qt/include:/opt/qt/include/tqt this works fine in the virtualbox clean environment, but fails in the mkarchroot. For example, building trinity-arts: [100%] Building CXX object qtmcop/CMakeFiles/qtmcop-shared.dir/qiomanager.cc.o cd /build/src/arts-bld/qtmcop && /usr/bin/c++ -Dqtmcop_shared_EXPORTS -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fPIC -I/build/src/arts-bld/qtmcop -I/build/src/arts-bld/mcop -o CMakeFiles/qtmcop-shared.dir/qiomanager.cc.o -c /build/src/arts-bld/qtmcop/qiomanager.cc In file included from /build/src/arts-bld/qtmcop/qiomanager.cc:23:0: /build/src/arts-bld/qtmcop/qiomanager.h:33:22: fatal error: tqobject.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[2]: *** [qtmcop/CMakeFiles/qtmcop-shared.dir/qiomanager.cc.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/build/src/arts-bld' make[1]: *** [qtmcop/CMakeFiles/qtmcop-shared.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/src/arts-bld' make: *** [all] Error 2 Aborting... tqobject.h is right where it should be in the rw chroot structure: 20:20 providence:~/chbld/tbld/trinity-arts> l ~/chbld/copy/opt/qt/include/tqt/tqobject.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1139 Feb 8 17:49 /home/david/chbld/copy/opt/qt/include/tqt/tqobject.h The PKGBUILD I'm attempting to use is here in full: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/arch/svn/dependencies/arts/PKGBUILD... Why is makechrootpkg not respecting the cmake environment variable for CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH? (2) The archroot isn't handling dependencies from the custom local repository requiring that packages be manually installed with makechrootpkg -r <chrootdir> -I <package> I'm a bit bewildered here. (happens) I have created the chroot repo in ~/chbld/root/chrepo and used repo-add to create the index: 20:49 providence:~/chbld> ls -1 ~/chbld/root/chrepo/ chrepo.db chrepo.db.tar.gz chrepo.db.tar.gz.old trinity-pyqt3-3.18.1-9-i686.pkg.tar.xz trinity-qt3-3.3.8-20-i686.pkg.tar.xz trinity-tqtinterface-9999-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz I've added the entry to ~/chbld/root/etc/pacman.conf: <snip> [core] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist # mkarchroot repo [chrepo] Server = file:///chrepo [extra] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist [community] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist <snip> The repository index is read during the makechrootpkg call is for all things -- looks fine: 18:51 providence:~/chbld/root/home> sudo mkarchroot -u /home/david/chbld/root/ :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date chrepo 1.0K 8.7M/s 00:00:00 [#####################################] 100% extra is up to date community 427.8K 586.7K/s 00:00:01 [#####################################] 100% :: Starting full system upgrade... there is nothing to do But when a PKGBUILD lists a package in chrepo as a dependency, the build fails with: 17:23 providence:~/chbld/tbld/trinity-tqtinterface> sudo makechrootpkg -r /home/david/chbld ==> Making package: trinity 9999-1 (Tue Feb 8 23:23:28 UTC 2011) ==> Checking Runtime Dependencies... ==> Installing missing dependencies... error: 'trinity-qt3': could not find or read package ==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies. Build failed, check /home/david/chbld/copy/build Any reason makechroot is not installing dependencies from the local chrepo stand out? Thanks for any help you can provide on either issue. -- David C.
