[SOLVED] Building in clean chroot

Tharbad · 2019-05-11 21:29:41

Hi,

I need to clean build https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qt4 from aur.
I used https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … lassic_way:
1) Created CHROOT=$(pwd)/chroot
2) mkarchroot -C pacman.conf -M qt4/PKGBUILD $CHROOT/root base-devel
(I used my system pacman.conf)
3) makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT from the qt4 dir (I cloned the repo).

And I got

==> Synchronizing chroot copy [/home/<user>/Dev/Arch/chrootbase/chroot/root] -> [user]...done
==> ERROR: qt4 is not available for the '' architecture.
==> ERROR: Could not download sources.

What am I missing?
Also, the wiki implies that there might be an easier way but It's not explained there.

Thanks

Alternatively, provide a custom pacman.conf and makepkg.conf with the following:
$ mkarchroot -C <pacman.conf> -M <makepkg.conf> $CHROOT/root base-devel

But why are you even trying to use a custome pacman or makepkg conf?

Because that's what I thought I should do? So i shouldn't use either?
So the -M <makepkg.conf> is for the chroot?
What pacman.conf should I use?

You do not need to specify a custom pacman or makepkg makearchroot will use defaults from the wiki

$ mkarchroot $CHROOT/root base-devel

or simpler is to use the convenience script (assuming you are in the directory with the PKGBUILD) just the following is enough to build the package in a clean chroot using the packages from the none testing repositories.

extra-x86_64-build

Sure it is, it's directly above the section you linked to: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … nience_way

While you most likely shouldn't use those options, if you do use them you need to provide a makepkg.conf, not a PKGBUILD. This is what actually caused the failure: you told it to use a PKGBUILD as a makepkg.conf and none of the necessary variables (e.g., CARCH) are defined in the PKGBUILD.

Yea. I didn't understand what I need to do from what's written in that section. On second read, it seems quite clear.

How do I delete the chroot I created? A simple delete folder?

WorMzy · 2019-05-11 23:25:14

Yep, unless you're on btrfs, in which case subvol delete.
