Trying to build pacman ...

... but makepkg is struggling to download the source, even though I can easily do it via web browser.

So, after extrating the source, and realising that I can now do:

makepkg -e

I then get:

==> Making package: pacman 4.2.0-6 (Sun  1 Feb 11:59:34 GMT 2015)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> WARNING: Using existing $srcdir/ tree

==> Starting build()...
/home/imbjr/projects/pacman/PKGBUILD: line 47: cd: pacman-4.2.0: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

The cd into the source directory is failing despite the fact that ls -l shows its there:

What am I doing wrong?

Re: Trying to build pacman ...

The PKGBUILD is looking in src for the extracted sources. You don't need to use -e anyway, once you have the unextracted source tarball in the same directory as the PKGBUILD, it will no longer try to download them. Just run 'makepkg'.


What problem were you having when trying to download the sources?

Re: Trying to build pacman ...

@WorMzy The download process just sits there with zero progress.

@graysky I've done that, but as you can see there's no download progress.

man makepkg wrote:

-e, --noextract
           Do not extract source files or run the prepare() function (if present); use whatever source already exists in the
           $srcdir/ directory. This is handy if you want to go into $srcdir/ and manually patch or tweak code, then make a
           package out of the result. Keep in mind that creating a patch may be a better solution to allow others to use
           your PKGBUILD.

So you're saying `makepkg -s` doesn't pull down the source tarballs?  If true, are you behind a proxy or firewall?  You will need to setup /etc/pacman.conf if this is the true to make it aware of the proxy.

With 'makepkg -s' the download sits there with zero progress, Time Spent ticks upwards and nothing more.

Re: Trying to build pacman ...

Just tried this:

curl "ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/pacman/pacman-4.2.0.tar.gz" -o pacman-4.2.0.tar.gz

and that shows no progress too. I noticed when I did it via web browser it was painfully slow, getting about 15K/s.

Re: Trying to build pacman ...

Even with the source, I was not able to build. The build script failed cd into the source directory even though it existed.

Re: Trying to build pacman ...

One has to wonder why you're trying to build pacman, especially if you're unfamiliar with makepkg and the build process. Care to enlighten us as to what your actual goal is here?

To build the package from ABS.

         You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:

Re: Trying to build pacman ...

To build from ABS you should have base-devel installed.

Base devel isn't the issue. The dist tarball was generated with automake 1.14, so that's what it's looking for. We're on automake 1.15 now. Related bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/43655

Re: Trying to build pacman ...

@falconindy Pure curiosity. I was interested to examine how the alpm library is used and decided to attempt a build first.
