Help starting with AUR

Hi

I have installed  Arch64 7.2 and want to use the OGRE 3d libraries. It is available in   AUR. How can I compile and install this package and its dependencies as easy as posible? Any recomendable tools? I was hoping there was support for AUR in pacman, but there is not or?

Re: Help starting with AUR

You can use aurbuild or qpkg to install packages from AUR. However, you still need to install that one package manually. AUR User Guidelines should help you succeed in this task.

Install yaourt (compatible with arch64) from this repos:

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://www.archlinux.fr/os/i686

and run

yaourt -S ogre

Re: Help starting with AUR

Thanks for pointers. But I can not yet install yaourt because I lack the versionpkg. Where can I get versionpkg?

Re: Help starting with AUR

Sorry I do not understand this. I get this message:

# pacman -S yaourt
error: cannot resolve dependencies for "yaourt":
       "versionpkg" is not in the package set

I have these active lines in /etc/pacman.conf:

[current]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/current

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/extra

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/community

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://www.archlinux.fr/os/i686

Is not [community] enabled?

Did yoyu sync the mirrors first? pacman -Sy.
