Lately my PKGBUILDs result in a warning when building:
==> WARNING: Package contains reference to $srcdir
It's a bit confusing, since PKGBUILD(5) has the following to say about $srcdir:
srcdir This points to the directory where makepkg extracts or copies all source files.
What should I do to get rid of the warning?
Depends on your package. Somehow your $srcdir of $pkgdir ended up in one of the installed files in your package. Use grep to find references to it (the full path, not the variable name) and find a way to get rid of those.
Ah, so the warning is that something in $pkgdir refers to the value of $srcdir? How does makepkg determine this? "play" is a part of my $srcdir, but magnus@bryma 2520 ~/play/arch/ocaml-odn/pkg/usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib/odn % grep play * magnus@bryma 2521 ~/play/arch/ocaml-odn/pkg/usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib/odn % strings *|grep play magnus@bryma 2521 ~/play/arch/ocaml-odn/pkg/usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib/odn
What package are we talking about btw?
Several, but the one here is ocaml-odn on AUR. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus@therning.org Jabber: magnus@therning.org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
