Need /usr/lib/libcurl.a in order to build cyphertite from source

srf21c · 2013-10-30 19:32:59

I'm trying to compile Cypthertite from source using this script: http://gbpaste.org/JRkRl ... and it's failing because it can't find /usr/lib/libcurl.a

I have searched and searched but am unable to find any package or tarball that contains this file. Apparently other distros of linux include it, maybe someone knows where I can obtain this library for Arch x64.

As msthev wrote, static libraries have been removed. You can recompile curl if you need them.

What do I do if the package I need is in the Arch core repository instead of the AUR? I can download an AUR tarball and modify PKGBUILD easily enough, but not sure how to proceed with items not in AUR.

Update: Nevermind, found out where to get the PKGBUILD file. https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … kages/curl

I downloaded the PKGBUILD file, edited the options line like so
options=('strip' 'debug' 'staticlibs')

the ran makepkg and it failed with this error:

==> ERROR: curlbuild.h was not found in the build directory and is not a URL.

Update.: Bah, ok now I see that I have to manually create curlbuild.h in the same directoly. It's compling now.

Please use ABS.

Or at least download *all* of the source files

Sometimes you need other files, not just the PKGBUILD. It's true for both packages from the AUR and from the official repos.
patches, install files, configs ...
