makepkg doesn’t work, whereas manually running build() commands does

jonnybarnes · 2017-11-14 14:16:10

I’m trying to install a git version of `xdebug` as it includes some bugfixes for using it with PHP7.2.0RC6.

I copied the PKGBUILD using `asp`.

My `build()` section currently looks like this:

build() {
  cd "$srcdir"/xdebug
  phpize
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-xdebug
  make

  cd "$srcdir"/xdebug/debugclient
  ./buildconf
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-libedit
  make
}

When running `makepkg` I get an error in the debugclient step about the configure command not finding a `Makefile.in` file.

The output of the `./buildconf` step is:

cleaning
buildconf: checking installation...
buildconf: autoconf version 2.69 (ok)
buildconf: automake version 1.15.1 (ok)
buildconf: libtool version 2.4.6.40-6ca5 (ok)
rebuilding aclocal.m4
rebuilding Makefile templates
aclocal: warning: autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in'
   ./Makefile.in
rebuilding configure
rebuilding config_h.in

However, if I manually go to the debugclient directory in my terminal and invoke `./buildconf` myself the output is as follows:

cleaning
buildconf: checking installation...
buildconf: autoconf version 2.69 (ok)
buildconf: automake version 1.15.1 (ok)
buildconf: libtool version 2.4.6.40-6ca5 (ok)
rebuilding aclocal.m4
aclocal: warning: autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in'
rebuilding configure
rebuilding config_h.in
rebuilding Makefile templates
   ./Makefile.in

So why isn’t makepkg working correctly?

Please provide all changes you made to the PKGBUILD (or just your complete PKGBUILD) so we can actually test and investigate.

Also the error you paraphrase is not present in the output you provided. The two outputs are identical, though in different order.

Here’s a barebones version that errors for me:

conflicts=('xdebug')
replaces=('xdebug')
backup=('etc/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini')
source=('git+https://github.com/xdebug/xdebug')
sha256sums=('SKIP')

build() {
  #cd "$srcdir"/xdebug
  #phpize
  #./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-xdebug
  #make

  cd "$srcdir"/xdebug/debugclient
  ./buildconf
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-libedit
  make
}

package() {
  cd "$srcdir"/$pkgname/debugclient
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install

  #cd "$srcdir"/$pkgname
  #make INSTALL_ROOT="$pkgdir" install
  #install -D -m 644 "$srcdir"/xdebug.ini "$pkgdir"/etc/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini
}

The error I get is:

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'

i.e. the buildconf step isnt actually generating the Makefile.in file. Indeed manually going to the folder I don’t see it, but then running `./buildconf` myself its there.

Bear in mind I will definitely need to edit things like `pkgname` before I consider submitting this to the AUR, and explicitly referencing the `xdebug` folder in the build step isn’t the best.

That's what I get. The build part works. Fix that line to be the same cd as in build() and makepkg runs to completion.

It fails for me also.

I've looked into the scripts it uses , and it does create makefile.in but seems to remove it when run from makepkg.
The problem appears to be the removal command in build/buildconf2.mk .
