Kalker AUR package not compiling

Nico792 · 2024-01-17 10:51:42

Hi, I'm relatively new to Arch and this is the first time an AUR package didn't compile off drop, so I'm a bit unsure on what to do.

For clarity up front, my system is completely up to date (checked as I'm writing this) and the AUR package is on the latest commit on main (also checked as I'm writing this).

Let met start by just putting the compilation error out here (from makepkg):

I'm not fully sure if it's relevant, but this is the PKGBUILD:

# Maintainer : Daniel Chesters <archlinux@coin-coin.xyz>
# Contributor : Daniel Chesters <archlinux@coin-coin.xyz>

pkgname=kalker
pkgver=2.0.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A calculator program that supports user-defined variables, functions, derivation, and integration."

	cd "$pkgname-$pkgver"
	cargo build --release
}

	cd "$pkgname-$pkgver"
	install -Dm755 "target/release/$pkgname" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/$pkgname"

}

# vim:set ts=2 sw=2 et:

I took a look at the AUR page as well, it seems someone else has the same problem, I checked and it seems they are erroring in the same file and on the same line of code. Unfortunately, no one has replied to them yet. Replies from before this (version 2.0.3) do seem to have compiled.

I also looked at the PKGBUILD which seemed to just run

 cargo build --release

to compile. I tried the same, but it led to the same error.

Reading the error message didn't help me much. I see that there are some warnings, I doubt those matter much, I think the compilation is erroring because a test failed, but I'm not sure, and even if I was I wouldn't know how to resolve that.

My question then is, is there a way I can get this compiled, and if not, how would I revert back version 2.0.3 (which does seem to have compiled). And on top of that, what is a good general procedure to follow so I can fix these issues myself in the future?

Thank you in advance!

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues.

From the output I gues the "build" fails in the check phase. You can run makepkg with the --no-check option to skip checks.

Stefan Husmann · 2024-01-17 13:47:06

Scratch that. File the bug upstream or use the kalker-bin-package from AUR.

I can reproduce the error in a clean chroot, and someone else left a comment in the AUR page with the same error. Seems like an upstream bug.

Alright so it's not just me, thanks for the help!
