I'm trying to install omake http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16093 from AUR. To get this to work I need to patch the code as described above. However being a newbie I'm having trouble.
Here is what I've done. Using yaourt I tried installing omake. It failed, as expected, so I want to patch the code as descibed above. How do I do this?
Thanks,
Luis

I've never patched a pkgbuild but this doc should give you some ideas and it has links to other stuff later: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … _Arch64.3F

Welcome to the forums.
My advice? Don't use yaourt. Download the tarball from the AUR page and modify the PKGBUILD accordingly.

PKGBUILD updated, not using it though. In case of any issues, let me know.

Yaourt gives you (in fact, strongly recommends the use of) the option of editing pkgbuilds before using them. You just need to add a line using patch before ./configure.

I did as previous posters suggested. I downloaded the PKGBUILD, ran makepkg, got an error (as expected). Then I patched the source, following the directions at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Patching_in_ABS. I altered the PKGBUILD to point to the patchfile, ran makepkg, followed by pacman -U <name of newly created package file>. It looks like everything worked. Thanks!

Thanks. I don't see the patchfile, though.
