[SOLVED] 'wordgrinder' package build fails

I'm trying to build a package out of this program here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17015

I download the tarball, extract it into my builds directory, enter the wordgrinder directory and enter 'makepkg -s'. I've only done this sort of thing once or twice but it worked then. This time, however, it ends with a build error:

(... lots of patching lines...)

pm: object 'cfile', defined at pmfile:71, failed to build with return code 256

    Aborting...

Can anybody tell me what's going wrong?

Compiles fine here, did makepkg install lua and luafilesystem?

Re: [SOLVED] 'wordgrinder' package build fails

I already did that myself.... Using AUR is a fallback from having tried to build it from the most recent source myself...

Just checked with pacman... Somehow, somewhere, the 'lua' had been uninstalled... ??? Either that or I jsut hallucinated installing it... Strange... Anyway, wordgrinder compiles fine, now. Sorry about that...

No problem, I just wonder why it wasn't installed by makepkg, as luafilesystem depends on lua.

Does backspace work for you as expected? (see this thread somewhere at the end)

Hm, there is a new lua. Maybe I should give worgrinder a new try then. Thank you.

It did once I configured roxterm to interpret backspace as ctrl-h (recalled this as being an issue with running gnu screen in xfce4-terminal).

BTW I was beta-testing the new version (0.3) while I was on Ubuntu and it looks quite impressive. Some neat new features, such as being able to navigate the document by headline-structure, easy moving text in between documents - introducing the Scrapbook - and possibly even... wait for it... undo (no promises, though). Sadly it says orphaned in AUR so Iguess it might be a while before it's available on Arch...

I adopted it . I'll update it to 0.3 as soon as there is a release. As orphaned packages in AUR are free for anyone to adopt, you could have done this as well.

Cool, thanks Yes, well but ... seeing as today is Day Two of my entire Arch experience, I figured I'd wait a bit before inflicting my workmanship on others. Funny thing is, I found out, I'm already contributing unwittingly: Searching AUR for MPD stuff, I found that somebody had posted a link to some old bash script hacks I've done

Fair enough, but as I won't really use it, feel free to chime in any time .
