Hi,
I have tried to do the Offline Installation as described in the ArchLinux wiki, but it did not worked out as i have mentioned in the thread http://stackoverflow.com/posts/comments/12588344. Hence i have planned to compile the pacman in a machine which has internet connection and then download the packages using the compiled pacman binary and then transfer it to offline ArchLinux Machine. While i tried to compile the pacman in Ubuntu-11.10 machine i got the following errors $ make # after ./autogen.sh && ./configure make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman' Making all in lib/libalpm make[2]: Entering directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman/lib/libalpm' Making all in po make[3]: Entering directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman/lib/libalpm/po' test ! -f ./libalpm.pot || \ test -z "ca.gmo cs.gmo da.gmo de.gmo el.gmo en_GB.gmo es.gmo fi.gmo fr.gmo hu.gmo it.gmo kk.gmo lt.gmo nb.gmo pl.gmo pt.gmo pt_BR.gmo ro.gmo ru.gmo sk.gmo sr.gmo sr@latin.gmo sv.gmo tr.gmo uk.gmo zh_CN.gmo zh_TW.gmo" || make ca.gmo cs.gmo da.gmo de.gmo el.gmo en_GB.gmo es.gmo fi.gmo fr.gmo hu.gmo it.gmo kk.gmo lt.gmo nb.gmo pl.gmo pt.gmo pt_BR.gmo ro.gmo ru.gmo sk.gmo sr.gmo sr@latin.gmo sv.gmo tr.gmo uk.gmo zh_CN.gmo zh_TW.gmo make[4]: Entering directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman/lib/libalpm/po' : --update --lang=ca ca.po libalpm.pot rm -f ca.gmo && : -c --statistics --verbose -o ca.gmo ca.po mv: cannot stat `t-ca.gmo': No such file or directory make[4]: *** [ca.gmo] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman/lib/libalpm/po' make[3]: *** [stamp-po] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman/lib/libalpm/po' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman/lib/libalpm' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman' make: *** [all] Error 2 I have cloned the source from git://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git and tried compiling with the commit e6f72c61a098b52ea29e54b8eb4739a2ff81e6b0 and its parents(until commit ae25167bcd592186749b79ea31b10fb78ed9fb2d) with no success. Any ideas.
You probably need the gettext development package installed. You're going to have much better luck just transferring the pacman XZ zipped package to the machine and unzipping it directly in '/', then removing the /.PKGINFO and /.INSTALL file it will leave behind. -Dan
