[SOLVED][REQUEST] Actiona tools 3.9.1

Hi,

I would like to request for Actiona tools 3.9.1. Actiona is a task automation tool. It allows you to create and execute action lists.

Link to the project's website:
https://wiki.actiona.tools/doku.php?id=en:start

Link to the GIT repository code:
https://github.com/Jmgr/actiona/releases/tag/v3.9.1

Thank you

Re: [SOLVED][REQUEST] Actiona tools 3.9.1

Won't be easy, they use qmake but seem to have forgotten to add support for DESTDIR and such.

make install tries to install stuff in /usr/local, the debian source package uses dh  (debhelper) extensively and is no help for making an AL package.

the .deb for 3.9.1 can be downloaded here : https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/actionaz/download
I think using Debtap to convert the deb to an archlinux package is the only viable option for now.

make install tries to install stuff in /usr/local ...

It's in the common.pri file

unix {
        isEmpty(PREFIX): PREFIX=/usr/local
        isEmpty(LIBDIR): LIBDIR=lib

        PREFIXSTR = '\\"$${PREFIX}\\"'
        LIBDIRSTR = '\\"$${LIBDIR}\\"'
        DEFINES += ACT_PREFIX=\"$${PREFIXSTR}\"
        DEFINES += ACT_LIBDIR=\"$${LIBDIRSTR}\"
}

Invoking qmake as follows produces Makefiles that install to /usr instead of /usr/local

qmake -r PREFIX=/usr

I'm currently working on a PKGBUILD ...

Re: [SOLVED][REQUEST] Actiona tools 3.9.1

Thank you for your interest in the topic. I am new in Arch (Antergeos). Earlier I used Ubuntu and .deb package. In Antergeos I can already install software form prepared AUR package but I have no idea, how to builds apps from sources. If actiona tools would be available as AUR package, I could install it. I need this software to my work. Sorry for my english and regards

Re: [SOLVED][REQUEST] Actiona tools 3.9.1

The PKGBUILD I have so far seems to build fine in a chroot. Then It should just be figuring out which dependencies are make depends only.
If I get it working maybe I will upload it to AUR or just post it here if the thread will not be closed.

edit:
If you want to learn how to write your own PKGBUILDs I suggest you to read some general documentation about building software from source and the wiki pages about Arch's packaging system. Maybe as a start read some simple PKGBUILDs and try to understand how they work.

I don't know why, but somehow / sometimes writing PKGBUILDs is fun to me.

It's in the AUR now. If someone wants to maintain it, let me know...

nice work, i got just 1 comment.

using qmake-qt5 instead of qmake would ensure the package is built as intended.
(many people don't build aur packages in a clean chroot and have muliple qt versions installed).

Thanks.

I thought about using qmake-qt5.

/usr/bin/qmake is a symlink to /usr/bin/qtchooser which is pulled in by the qt5 dependencies.
According to the wiki qtchooser uses qt5 by default.

It doesn't matter if qmake or qmake-qt5 is used, both work with qt4 and qt5 installed alongside.

Ok. Now, while writing this, I think using qmake-qt5 is safer since it will also work if qtchooser isn't configured to use qt5.
Thanks.
