[SOLVED] perl-devel-checklib - error building package

Hi there,

when trying to build perl-devel-checklib (which I need a a dep for slic3r-prusa3d-git) I run into an error. Not really sure what might be the problem, any help would be appreciated.

==> Starting package()...

Re: [SOLVED] perl-devel-checklib - error building package

The moron who authored that AUR package needs to read the PKGBUILD manpage.

That prepare() function is being horrendously misused as an "export significant variables" function, which is both missing the point of a prepare() function, and extremely likely to break in anything but the most simple circumstances. In this case, a core makepkg feature -- separated `makepkg --nobuild` and `makepkg --noextract` runs -- is used by pacaur, so you probably use pacaur.

Thank you, it worked without problems building the package directly with makepgk.

Sure, but really you should post a comment on the AUR page asking the maintainer to fix their horrible PKGBUILD.
