Building google-gdata-sharp - issue with patching

Hi all,

I need to install google-gdata-sharp 1.6.0.0 in order to install Banshee 1.7.3 from SVN.

I took the AUR package from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35354

I amended the pkgbuild file from the AUR to download 1.6.0.0

But running makepkg it return the following error:

makepkg

I have past all file on pastbin for the sake of this post length => http://pastebin.com/sUu1VbmV

I am new at amending those file so would appreciate some guidance,

Many thanks,

Re: Building google-gdata-sharp - issue with patching

Your pastebin shows path.patch and fix.patch are identical - only one of them is required. Makefile.rej and Makefile show that the context of the PREFIX= line has changed in this version - that's why the patch failed.

I'd suggest you either write your own patch or just use sed on the PREFIX= line.

Actually the path.patch isn't in the pastbin...

see the path.patch there => http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/googl … path.patch

I am so sorry but could you explain in details as I am new to this and I am afraid using the sed doesn't talk to ma

Re: Building google-gdata-sharp - issue with patching

OK.... that's still exactly the same patch, apart from the app's version number.

Details on creating your own patch and/or using sed are widely available - do some research, try to solve it yourself. If you're still stuck, come back, tell us what did/didn't work.

You can ask for the maintainer's assistance by leaving a comment on the package's AUR page, and/or by posting on the aur-general mailing list. Also, flag the package out of date.

Re: Building google-gdata-sharp - issue with patching

I would love to solve it myself so I could learn; however I am lost there.

Could you at least guide me a bit,

- What is the patch suppose to do? (placing the lib where other package would look for it?)
- What is the error complaining about?

many thanks,
