Problems making tar.gz files [Solved]

customscrollbar · 2013-12-26 00:10:49

I'v been trying to make a lot of tarballs, but my terminal won't do it. They have been of many types, but specifically a lightweight audio recorder to record from the microphone jack. Currently, I attempted "flrec", one from the AUR, and then one from
http://www.matteolucarelli.net/flrec/index_en.htm

also, here's my problematic shell output:

[liquidformula@DTR_Arch_Computer flrec-0.12]$ make

Any idea how to fix this this thing??

Static libraries have been removed https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … c8ac405fa3
If you need them, you may have to recompile fltk.

When posting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

Okay; I compiled fltk, then tried to

[liquidformula@DTR_Arch_Computer flrec-0.12]$ make
g++ -Wall -O2 -lpthread -o flrec Fl_Simple_File_Chooser.o flrecUIeffects.o flrecUIsettings.o flrecUImain.o main.o `fltk-config --ldstaticflags`
/usr/lib/libfltk.a: file not recognized: Is a directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:30: recipe for target 'flrec' failed
make: *** [flrec] Error 1

output is shorter, but I'm still not sure what to do...

The first thing you should do is change your topic title to something relevent to your problem -- as far as I can tell, you are not making archives, you are compiling software that tries to build against static libraries (which are not officially supported on Arch Linux).

There are two solutions: 1) recompile Arch packages with static libraries enabled, or 2) modify the Makefile to make the software compile against dynamic libraries. I would recommend 2), unless the program needs static libraries for some reason.

Fortunately it's easy enough to make this program compile against dynamic libraries; just add this to the PKGBUILD, above the build() function:

prepare() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
  sed -i 's:--ldstaticflags:--ldflags:' Makefile
}

Then rerun makepkg. If the program misbehaves with dynamic libraries, then recompile fltk with staticlibs in the options array, then run makepkg against the vanilla PKGBUILD. If you continue to get the above error (you shouldn't), then remove your src directory and try again.
