[SOLVED] pacaur wrong build directory ?

Hi,
I try to install Slic3r from the AUR repository. I successfully install on my machine some weeks ago.
Yesterday, I tried like to install it on two others computers but it failed cause of missing file (but it is wrong).

So, I try to find where problems begins. It seems to have an issue with perl dependencies.
However when I use "makepkg", it seems to build properly.

What am I missing and what did I do wrong ?

I use pacaur 4.7.4.
pacaur build :

Re: [SOLVED] pacaur wrong build directory ?

I don't know how pacaur works, but it looks like it isn't downloading ExtUtils-CppGUess-0.11.tar.gz.

Re: [SOLVED] pacaur wrong build directory ?

Hi x33a,
Thanks for your answer.
If I compare the content from the git I download and ".cache/pacaur/perl-extutils-cppguess/", all data seems identical. I can do a "makepkg -sri" inside ".cache/pacaur/perl-extutils-cppguess/" without issue.

Re: [SOLVED] pacaur wrong build directory ?

Yes, but does `makepkg -e` work?  It would seem that's what pacaur is doing.  This might actually work now that you've ran makepkg in that directory.  But pacaur was not having makepkg extract the source.  That was the problem.

EDIT: *headdesk* I should have looked at the PKGBUILD.  See  below for the cause of the problem.

Re: [SOLVED] pacaur wrong build directory ?

Hi Trilby,
Thanks for your answer.
You are right, `makepkg -e` does not work. So if I understand well, it's a normal default behavior.

I just check the manpage but I don't find a pacaur parameter which can change this. Should I understand I will not be able to use pacaur to install this kind of AUR package and I should use makepkg (or other helper) instead ?

Re: [SOLVED] pacaur wrong build directory ?

Current version of pacaur uses makepkg in two steps: first "makepkg -o", which should extract the content, then "makepkg -e" that should build with the already extracted content. If that doesn't work with makepkg using these two commands, then the PKGBUILD should likely be fixed by the maintainer (the "export _src_dir" part seems very suspicious here).

Re: [SOLVED] pacaur wrong build directory ?

Yeah, this is bad packaging. Expecting variables set in prepare to always be available is wrong.

Hi,
Thanks for all your answers.

I consider the topic as solved caused it's not an issue related to pacaur.

Re: [SOLVED] pacaur wrong build directory ?

@Inglebard: check out newest version of pkgbuild and next time post comment yourself when it's an issue related to PKGBUILD
@Spyhawk: thx, your comment helped me to make pkgbuild compatible with that use case (if not for it i would blame pacaur)

Re: [SOLVED] pacaur wrong build directory ?

Hi,
@swiftgeek :
I have some issues to register on aur website but it's fix now, I also think to send you an email but I don't. And here is the reason why.
As you can see in this topic, I have a lack of knowledge about how works pacaur and PKGBUILD. I will not comment an AUR package until I understand a little bit more how works all this stuff and know where the issue come from. I also notice nobody else have the problem so maybe I am the only person with this issue (so maybe need to check my installation). Also, I really enjoy all your work to bring softwares to the aur (it's already awesome), and comment something like "I have a problem" without search and bring a fix to the author is not enough in my point of view. But be sure, I will contact you if I encounter other issues (By the way some other perl dependencies seems to have the same issue, so be ready ).
