[Solved] Packettracer install; .tar.gz not found
I wanted to install packettracer like the Wiki suggest it.
I cloned the AUR
Now i wanted to build it via
makepgk PKGBUILD But here i get the following error:
==> ERROR: Packet Tracer 7.2.1 for Linux 64 bit.tar.gz was not found in the build directory and is not a URL. Note: i also tried to execute the other files in the directory (linguist, packettracer, packettracer.sh, pt.install) but they all do nothing or give an error (do you need those errors?).
Now how do i get the .tar.gz file?

Okay. I'm an idiot. Found the .tar.gz download at the OFFICIAL page. Just needed to scroll down... yeah..

Re: [Solved] Packettracer install; .tar.gz not found
Well i did that. (After installing the .tar.gz) but now it still shows the same error. (Even though the downloaded tarball is in the same directory (i even named it bit.tar.gz)

Why did you name it bit.tar.gz? What is the contents of the directory now?

Okay now i just went ahead and edited the PKGBUILD file and changed
source=('packettracer' 'linguist' 'packettracer.sh' 'local://Packet Tracer 7.2.1 for Linux 64 bit.tar.gz') to:
source=('packettracer' 'linguist' 'packettracer.sh' 'bit.tar.gz')Note: my tar file was named bit.tar.gz. So just include there your tarball. Also it creates all of that in this directory not real /opt/...

That is how makepkg works. You need to install the built package.
