[SOLVED] Empty Package from PKGBUILD

yungtrizzle · 2014-02-01 10:26:34

I'm writing my first PKGBUILD for an app I wrote. In the PKGBUILD my build and package functions look like this :

build() {
	cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-${pkgver//_/-}"
	qmake  
	make PREFIX=/usr
}


package() {
	cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-${pkgver//_/-}"
	make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
}

but makepkg builds an empty package without the binary. What am I doing wrong?

It's probably a Makefile that doesn't respect the DESTDIR you're passing it. You could verify this by running `find ./pkg/` from the directory where you build; you'll probably get no results either. Looking at the Google results, qmake should accept a destdir too, so I'd try that

Actually /pkg/ and subdirectories exist but are empty. The binary remains in the source directory and make says nothing to be done for 'install'.

Well, you wrote this app - what would you do if you were installing it manually i.e. without a PKGBUILD?

Can you manually build and install successfully?

qmake  
make PREFIX=/usr
make install DESTDIR=test

Do the needed files exist in ./test is the question.

hard code the install path and run make install

./test does not exist after compiling.

Doesn't sound like your Makefile is using $(DESTDIR) then... modify it to do so. Use this as an example if you need one: https://github.com/graysky2/profile-syn … r/Makefile

Did you try passing DESTDIR to qmake as I suggested?

That won't work in my case, the makefile is generated from qmake, anything I change will be overwritten.

@Spider.007 add DESTDIR doesn't make any changes

qmake project files should include DESTDIR. This is in every tutorial I can fnd on qmake, and would come up with a google search of "qmake DESTDIR" or just "qmake".

If you want more help you're going to have to share the actual files you're creating - particularly the project file.

You might have success with make INSTALL_ROOT=... install

QT       += core gui multimedia multimediawidgets dbus

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

TARGET = cleps
TEMPLATE = app
DESTDIR = /usr/bin

This my .pro relevant section. make now complains about permissions.

can't view your link I'm behind the gfw so its blocked

I think I got it to work. Had to make changes to the .pro file and use INSTALL_ROOT

thiagowfx · 2014-02-07 00:32:00

Could you share these changes? Do they happen in the snippet of code of the qmake file you have posted?

yungtrizzle · 2014-03-31 16:10:42

@thiagowfx sorry i just say your postbut here's what working for me

QT       += core gui multimedia multimediawidgets dbus

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

TARGET = cleps
TEMPLATE = app
target.path = /usr/bin/

INSTALLS += target
