[SOLVED][AUR] lib32-allegro Missing dependencies...

FenrirAB · 2014-04-17 20:35:07

Hello community...
still on my first week on ArchLinux so bear with me...

i find this strange...

im trying to install a game Beat Hazard Ultra (i have the bin file)

and beathazardultra can be found in the aur (game separated)

i looked at the PKBUILD for instructions and it says to put the bin in the same folder

OK i got that part

then sudo makepkg -s --asroot

it says its missing lib32-allegro

this lib can only be found in AUR so i repeat the same procedure

NOW, the lib32-allegro is also Missing dependencies
when i sudo makepkg -s --asroot

i search the aur of the missing dependencies and found it...

i makepkg all of them and they installed

so now im ready to install lib32-allegro again... but its still saying that its missing the same dependecies... am i missing a step here?

heres a screenshot:
(*EDIT: i know the screenshot says i used sudo makepkg -f --asroot but i also tried it with -s but it cannot find it on the official repo since its in AUR)

Why are you using --asroot? Have you not read the man page? Have you enabled [multilib]? What is the point of the screenshot: it is just terminal output (ie, text)?

Moving to AUR issues...

the screenshot was to visually provide info that i have the aur packages (and assuming that the highlighted directories have been installed)
sorry, i suck at explaining so i hope the screenshot will provide clarity.... yup already enabled multilib... and i can see it enabled by -Syu

i know they gave me a warning about using --asroot isnt that what to use if you have a separate /root /home folder if you want to install it in /root? but if its not then... i will stop using it... ^-^

anyways

i already rebooted my laptop just in case it needed a reboot to see the lib32 dependencies... but they are still missing
i would like to know why those dependencies are still missing...

THANKS FOR BEING PATIENT ^_^

note there's a difference between /root and / (referred to as root). And you shouldn't be building the package as root, just installing it as a separate step. Did you actually install those dependencies or just build them?

thanks for the clarity @mcmillian

you mean to tell me "makepkg -s" is not installing it but just building it? how do i install it then... can i do it without yoaurt or this is why i need yaourt?

wow i feel soo stupid.... but thanks for all your help and being patient with me.... i guess i might have missed it on the wiki page

but all in all THANKS COMMUNITY ^_^

You should read makepkg's man page :-)
Usually an application has a man page or at least a -h / --help flag.
