[SOLVED] Borgcalendar installation problem

archmanhas · 2022-12-13 22:31:01

Good afternoon,

I have been trying to install borg calendar on my archlinux.
I installed java.

::

$ archlinux-java status
Available Java environments:
java-17-jdk
java-19-jdk
java-19-openjdk (default)
java-8-openjdk

The sh file for installation has the following code:

$JAVA_HOME/bin/jpackage -t deb --app-version 1.10.03 -n BorgCalendar --vendor MBCSoft -i target/installer --main-class net.sf.borg.control.Borg --main-jar borg.jar --linux-menu-group Borg --linux-shortcut

The first error said it was not finding the directory, than I:

$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default

The another error complained that was not compatible becuse was debian, then I installed

$ sudo pacman -S dpkg

And now the error when I run linpackage.sh is:

Bundler DEB Bundle skipped because of a configuration problem: The configured main jar does not exist borg.jar in the input directory
Advice to fix: The main jar must be specified relative to the input directory (not an absolute path), and must exist within that directory

Can any one help me to install this calendar please?
I am new to linux and it is the first time I try to open anything in JAVA.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best,
M

Mod note: Not an installation issue, moving to AUR Issues.

And what distro is this on? There's no such thing in Arch. How did you install the system?

Sorry, it was a typo, I installed dpkg with pacman.
Sorry

Anyway, from what I can see, you're trying to run a script to make a debian package. That's not going to do you any good anyway.

I don't know how to install it, but that's not it.

archmanhas · 2022-12-13 23:01:04

How do I run it to do an archpackage instead?
Can I do that?

Is https://github.com/mikeberger/borg_calendar what you're trying to build?

Yes!

The linpackage.sh which is supposed to build a package for Linux consists of one line which builds a Debian package. It uses jpackage which supports some other distros, but I don't think it supports Arch. (However, I might be wrong about this - I know nothing about java.)

As far as I can tell, though, all that script is really doing is wrapping the application in a OS-specific package. If you've got the source, you'd have to build the .jar first, I think.

If you want to get something you can "just run" the easiest would likely be to install libappimage and changing the deb in the linpackage.sh to app-image.

The proper way would be to just build a normal JAR with maven and doing a proper PKGBUILD, don't have time to write one up right now, might give it a shot later this week if no one beats me to it.

Another option is to unpack the provided deb file. Untested PKGBUILD (I didn't even run makepkg!) to get you started

pkgname=borgcalendar-bin
pkgver=1.10.03
pkgrel=1
arch=('x86_64')
pkgdesc="A Desktop Calendar and Task Tracking System"
url="https://github.com/mikeberger/borg_calendar"
license=('unknown') ## FIXME
depends=('java-runtime') ## FIXME
sources=("${url}/releases/download/v${pkgver}/borgcalendar_${pkgver}-1_amd64.deb")
sha256sums=('76e5a2d98b060b16ee31ba57401b86cd5749fb2b80cb27807cdf97341bd97343')

package() {
    bsdtar -C "$pkgdir/" -xf data.tar.xz
}

Thank you.
The developer sent me the .jar file and the calendar is running, problem now is how to add it to the startup but that is another problem.

Thank you all for the help.
