Make not working during yay AUR installs anymore

mikebutash · 2023-05-07 20:14:54

Hi all, a while ago when using yay to install, anything AUR that requires make compilation fails. I never need to mess with makepkg.conf on arch or anything related to building, but now most all fail when pulling down or trying to update AUR things.

During yay installs I'll get this far and error out:

Switched to a new branch 'makepkg'
==> Starting pkgver()...
==> Sources are ready.
==> Making package: installed_thing
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> WARNING: Using existing $srcdir/ tree

Options:

I can still enter the dir and issue "make" to build things, but seems yay is feeding some bad flags. I can't for the life of me find anything related searching where they're coming from, and do not occur on my older arch laptop. Anything else using other compilation aside from make work fine.

Any pointers would be appreciated where to look here, this is both annoying and perplexing for far too long.

What's in your makepkg.conf? Specifically the MAKEFLAGS, but just post the whole thing.

Sure, here's the makepkg.conf, but I don't think I've ever looked at it until having to dig into this.

Then who else has root access on your system? Someone editted your /etc/makepkg.conf and put an entry in MAKEFLAGS that should be in CFLAGS. Get rid of '-march=native' (and / or move it to CFLAGS).

If you are not aware of how this got there, you should be suspicious.

MAKEFLAGS="-march=native -j16"

There's the problem -march=native is not a flag for make. If you didn't change it, who did? MAKEFLAGS is commented out entirely in the default file. https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-p … g.conf#L49

That is a fine question, it would only have been me, but I don't think or at least remember ever needing to edit that. This box is only about 6mo old, so even more weird, but might need to attribute this to some drunken troubleshooting at some point.

Well, that certainly worked removing it from the MAKEFLAGS, I very much appreciate your responses as that is certainly nothing I would have ever been able to pick out of there!

Please remember to mark your thread [SOLVED] (edit the title of your first post).

Trilby · 2023-05-07 22:40:49

If not drunken troubleshooting, do you recall running any scripts as root that you might have found online with stated goals of "optimizing" or improving performance? The most problematic versions of these tend to be marketed with acronyms like OMZ, LOLZ, LARBS, STFU (at least two of these are quite real, all four are equivalently silly).
