./configure: No such file or directory

Hello,

I am attempting to build the pitivi-git package : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pitivi-git/

However the process stops with the message : ./configure: No such file or directory

Can anyone offer some assistance?

Re: ./configure: No such file or directory

configure has been removed the PKGBUILD has to be altered to use meson.

pkgver() {
  cd $_gitname
  git describe | sed -E 's/^v//;s/([^-]*-g)/r\1/;s/-/./g;s/\.rc/rc/'
}

prepare() {
  mkdir -p build
}

build() {
  cd  build
  meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release ../$_gitname
  ninja
}

package() {
  cd  build
  DESTDIR="$pkgdir" ninja install
}

It still will not build but I suspect that is due to recent changes in cairo as packaged by arch.
Edit:
changed arch from 'any' to 'x86_64'

I'm awe-inspired: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … 944a60c7c0

See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pitivi/c … 53cdad8522 -- for several years now they used meson, but for a while the configure script was a transition convenience which... simply ran meson, then wrote a Makefile which ran ninja.

So the genius AUR maintainer switched from ./autogen to ./configure, modified an install(1) path to use the meson directory, and did not add meson to the makedepends...

Re: ./configure: No such file or directory

@Eschwartz off the original topic but on the topic of strange AUR commits see https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … 3f37e9f0ab with the disappearing checksum
which I ran into while working on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1785793

Re: ./configure: No such file or directory

I'm not even sure how this is possible. -_-
