cannot build packages

Galdona · 2006-07-21 18:00:54

I am trying to "makepkg" xbindkeys with the --disable-fork option, but I am getting the error below. It happens even with the original PKGBUILD from abs.

checking for strtol... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
sed: -e expression #1, char 295: unknown option to `s'
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing default-1 commands
make: *** No targets.  Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

# Maintainer: damir <damir>

pkgname=xbindkeys
pkgver=1.7.2
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="xbindkeys allows you to launch shell commands with your keyboard or your mouse under X Window"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
url="http://hocwp.free.fr/xbindkeys"
depends=('libx11' 'guile' 'tk')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-fork 
  make || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

What to do?

Works here.
Do you have sed installed? If not, install it.
If it still fails, post all the output that makepkg gives you.

EDIT: Make sure you have write access in the directory where you run makepkg. Only root can write in /var/abs, so you'll need to copy the PKGBUILD someplace where you have write permissions.

Galdona · 2006-07-22 18:16:48

yes, sed is installed. and I do compile only in my user home folder.

Actually, I think this is another of the many cases of failed pkg building due to some upgrade quirks. I have been unable to compile several other packages as well. On another PC with an arch install that hasnt been updated in about a month, packages compile fine.

do you have any recommendations of a "general fix" for these upgrade issues? I have been looking at many of the threads here, but havent solved it.

Snowman · 2006-07-22 19:40:30

Reinstall the kernel-headers package. It solved building problem for other users.
Make sure all the packages are up-to-date, i.e. use pacman -Syu

If it doesn't fix it, post the complete output of makepkg.

Galdona · 2006-07-23 03:56:26

im sorry its a late reply.

I reinstalled sed and kernel-headers, and even did a reboot, but its still the same. here is the output:

xbindkeys: I don't know why you get the sed error. The rest of the makepkg output is the same as I get.

dates: Install perlxml. It's probably a missing makedepends.
