MAKEPKG & Write to External HD error

Hello, recently i install arch linux 64bit.
I have some problems and i need your help.
First i cant build (makepkg -s) pakages from AUR. I download the pakage i move into builds directory in home folder, i extract it, cd pakge_name, makepkg -s and return: ==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist.

i have install the base-devel, i cant understand what's going wrong.

Second when i try to write on my external hard drive return:
Error while creating directory untitled folder.
There was an error creating the directory in /media/name.
Error creating directory: Operation not permitted

Re: MAKEPKG & Write to External HD error

Please choose a more descriptive title for your thread: you are more likely to get assistance with your issues https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … ow_to_Post

For the AUR packages you are trying to build (naming one might help), presumably there is a PKGBUILD in the directory when you untar it?

What is the filesystem on the external drive? NTFS? What permissions are set on the drive?

Re: MAKEPKG & Write to External HD error

no there is not any pkgbuild file or folder in directory (i am trying to install elementary theme http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34997)

the filesystem is NTFS and premmision: The premmision of "Name" could not be determined

Re: MAKEPKG & Write to External HD error

If I download the elementary tarball and extract it, there is a PKGBUILD in the directory - you must be doing something wrong

For NTFS, read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ntfs

Re: MAKEPKG & Write to External HD error

You have to download the file called Tarball (contains the Packagebuild), i guess you were downloading the Sourcefile...


It's a bug planet!

Re: MAKEPKG & Write to External HD error

i download the source i extract it, the same with tarball. I am copying the PAKAGEBUILD from tarball folder into the directory of source and i run the makepkg -s. Evreything looks fine but at the end returns me:

==> Making package: elementary-mod-gtk-theme 0.3-1 (Mon Mar  7 22:36:14 EET 2011)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
Password:
error: 'nautilus-elementary': could not find or read package
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

i try to install some of the missing dependencies (manually), but some i cant with pacman -S :\

Re: MAKEPKG & Write to External HD error

If you can't find the missing dependencies using pacman, then look in the AUR

Do NOT do that. As the wiki says:
1. download the 'Tarball'
2. extract it
3. cd to the new directory
4. check the PKGBUILD and *.install file(s) for nasty stuff
5. makepkg -si(c)

As for the error you got, you need to install nautilus-elementary from aur first.

Btw, the package you are trying to build is really out of date, both upstream and in aur.
