Hey,
I bought the brother MFC-j5920DW and in order to install the drivers, I'm trying to adapt this package:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/brother-mfc-j6920dw/
This is my current PKGBUILD:

21 directories, 31 filesSo couple of questions:
1. How do I resolve the error?
2. Which is the actual "filter" file? The wiki example (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … er_drivers) mentions the "cupswrappermfcj5920dw" file, whereas from the directory structure it looks like it is the "brmfcj5920dwfilter"... ?
3. What is with the inf folder & files, if / where do they need to be copied to?

Remove the dependency on rpmextract. bsdtar has since gained the ability to extract RPM files. rpmextract was removed but the dependency was left in.
Place 'set -x' at the beginning of package so you can see the command that fails. That and 'false' are the two debug commands you'll be using the most in PKGBUILD.
package() {
set -x
...
}The ppd is easy to find. I use Midnight Commander but this works too.
find -type 'f' -iname '*.ppd'Brother's executables are all 32 bit. Your PKGBUILD is missing a multilib dependency to work under 64 bit. It will work if multilib is already installed but you can't be sure of that.
For my Brother packages I noticed that one of the executables has source available so I compile it and discard the 32 bit version.
The .install file can be gotten rid of by modifying the installer and running in prepare(). This makes the package better and safer.
You can see all this happen in one of my /opt variants like brother-mfc-j5620dw.

Ok, thanks for the info. However this was way too much code handling for me... :-/
In the end I copied your mfc-j5620DW script and just changed the 6 for a 9 :-)
(... and the URL and the checksums, thats more my level)
... And it WORKED!!!
So thanks a lot!
Maybe I will try next for the brscan package, although I'm not sure if it is really worth the trouble. Right now I feel quite comfortable with scanning to network (NAS).
