Hello,
hope I don't get this missplaced, as a quick search didn'd get me any results.
When I have a package, which does actually build nothing -- say wine_gecko (a file only needs to be placed to a correct directory) -- I should only have package() function in the PKGBUILD, is that a correct interpretation?
Now the makepkg is happy but the AUR complaints. I can workaround that with an empty build() function in that case the AUR is happy but the makepkg complains. So I just put in there a harmless echo and both are happy now. Actually my question is not that much about the correct workarounding, as it is about if I really get the meaning of the build() and package() functions correctly, that is for building build(), for installing package()?
Thanx, Nicky.
Personally I'd use /bin/true instead of echo. However I think in this case having everything in build() is justifiable. Lukas
