[SOLVED] makepkg leaves out pkg/usr/bin

Hi,
I'm trying to make a PKGBUILD of The Goonies for my first PKGBUILD to add to the AUR. The problem is that makepkg dose not add the pkg/usr/bin directory and I can not figure out why . Can someone please show me what I am doing wrong I have been sitting here for hours trying to get this to work.

I'm not sure what's wrong - I use the same PKGBUILD and I get a $startdir/pkg/usr/bin created, and it's in the final package.

What's your makepkg.conf look like?

Re: [SOLVED] makepkg leaves out pkg/usr/bin

two other things to check:
- do you have write permission for the directory that you are building in?
- does that directory has a space (or other symbol) in its path?

Re: [SOLVED] makepkg leaves out pkg/usr/bin

I find it odd that this line works:

mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/opt/goonies

but this one doesn't:

mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/bin

when they're really exactly the same thing. Is the first folder correctly being made?

Hah I just found out the problem I opened the package in Xarchiver and I can see the usr folder now! I'm using XFCE which has Squeeze as the default compression tool which for some reason did not show the usr/bin folder... very strange.

Re: [SOLVED] makepkg leaves out pkg/usr/bin

to eliminate such bottlenecks always rely on terminal tools, like tar. I always have this problem with creating archives with KArchive where it will error out but the archiving process would be a success.

I need real, proper pen and paper for this.

You can also use pacman to check your package's file list before install.
