problem with PKGBUILD for gregorio

Dear all,

I've got a problem creating an PKGBUILD for gregorio (a tool for typesetting gregorian chant scores with LaTeX). My PKGBUILD won't install the TeX-files and fonts and creates an error during makepkg:

error: can't write in /usr/share/texmf/

The source uses several Makefiles and a python script for installing the fonts. Do I have to adapt these for the use for a PKGBUILD or is there another problem behind this?

Thanks for all help in advance! I don't know exactly what's going wrong for this is my first PKGBUILD.

David

EDIT: Sorry to have forgotten the PKGBUILD: here it is: http://aur.pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Rdbp804s

Re: problem with PKGBUILD for gregorio

Seems the build process does not know the DESTDIR variable in the make install step. Or the pyrhon-script is the culprit.

BTW, updmap would setup the fonts only for the user root. You may want to use updmap-sys. Messages like "Don't forget to run updmap as non-root user before using gregorio. Have fun!" should go to the install file.

Thanks for these hints! I think I'll have to do the installing for myself, because the python script hardcodes some tex directories. Where do I have to put the .install-File? Same directory as PKGBUILD?

Re: problem with PKGBUILD for gregorio

Seems I've managed it finally, the results can be seen

here for PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/20SHBFv5
and here for gregorio.install: http://pastebin.com/dYC6jSbK

Is this solution viable and ok for an Archlinux package?

Thanks for your hints!
