[aur-general] General PKGBUILD and Instalation help.
Merry Christmas all, I have been looking for a general PKGBUILD forum to get some help with some build problems. I have been trying to build the mingw packages using makechrootpkg -c I have built 436 out of 497 packages. There are a few corrections I have to submit. BUT There are a few issues that are quite simply driving me nuts. These PKGBUILD'S are supposed to have built at some point :} I have come across an interesting error with mingw-w64-python-setuptools Quite simply the package() function needs access to /tmp/ It uses wine to install the package. But the fakeroot wont allow wine access to /tmp/ ie - wine: chdir to /tmp/.wine-0/server-841-4e2c3c : Permission denied I have tried a few tricks - even invoking wineserver as a daemon at prepare() this either freezes the build process - or cant access /build/.wine Any clues or hints would be appreciated. Thanks Macca

There's #archlinux-aur on irc.freenode.net and an Arch forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=38

If you didn't know, you could do this through comments on the AUR packages. -- Best, polyzen

That part I knew. I am even considering adopting a package or two. But I was looking for some general PKGBUILD syntax and usage help. Thanks Macca

This list is one of the several places to get exactly such help. But "general syntax and usage help" is a suitably vague question such that no one can possibly help you, since no one knows what the issue is. If you just want generic tutorials, the wiki has documentation on how PKGBUILDs work, and there have been Arch Classroom sessions on the topic as well. Not sure what else you're looking for. :) -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

The original question was- How do you access /tmp/ during the package() phase while in fakeroot? Some programs require this access.(hardcoded) Thanks Macca

Some programs require this access.(hardcoded)
And there is nothing about fakeroot which prevents this. In fact, I have just successfully run a package that executes `wine cmd dir` and it has successfully created both /tmp/.wine-0 and ~/.wine inside of a chroot. ... Now, is your question about PKGBUILDs in general, or is it about wine in particular? Because if you want help about wine in particular, then it would be helpful to clearly distinguish this as the question. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

It is about the combination of both I am only building using makechrootpkg -c I have built other packages which use wine - no problem But this package is using wine in the package() phase while the others did not, and falling over. I was wondering if I had missed something? thanks Macca

Whatever that means.

That's fine, if your package is well defined
I have built other packages which use wine - no problem
Use wine where?
But this package is using wine in the package() phase while the others did not, and falling over.
If wine is in your depends=() array, it shouldn't be a problem.
I was wondering if I had missed something?
Without a log, it's hard to know. Try building with multilib-build instead of plain mkchrootpkg. I'm assuming this is a multilib package. If not, you can build with extra-x86_64-build. Both these commands run namcap for each stage. You can send those plus your PKGBUILD and then we can start helping you. Without those, we're just guessing now. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini
