[solved] brother-mfc-j220 – PKGBUILD contains CRLF characters

HaCeMei · 2013-03-24 18:01:15

Hi,

on trying to build the brother-mfc-j220 package (from AUR) I get the message

~/Desktop/pkg/brother-mfc-j220$ LANG=en makepkg
==> ERROR: PKGBUILD contains CRLF characters and cannot be sourced.

Don't know how to find/ remove them from
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/br/b … 0/PKGBUILD

Sorry for posting in the wrong sub-forum. Can anybody move this to "AUR Issues, Discussion & PKGBUILD Requests"?

It doesn't seem to have ^M endings.. I would just use community/dos2unix for this one.

$ dos2unix PKGBUILD

Hey, look at this

(1/1) Installiere brother-mfc-j220 [#######################] 100%
==> Done. The printer should be visible now via the CUPS-webinterface (http://localhost:631)

You've made my day. Thanks . How did you know?

It's just something that happens when people use Windows editors.. don't ask me why they do this for a file that's only useful in Arch. Usually you can see ^M endings in vim if you ":set list," but in this case it was some other newline char that wasn't visible. dos2unix is just an all-purpose text converter to deal with issues like this.
