Wmsmixer (my first PKGBUILD)

dedhart · 2006-10-18 14:46:25

Ok here is my PKGBUILD, please let me know if theres anything I need to change and if you like it perhaps it can go in the AUR.

  xmkmf --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
}

You're missing the url= field, and the # Contributor line at the top. Otherwise, you're good to go.

dedhart · 2006-10-18 15:12:43

edited, that better?

Snowman · 2006-10-18 19:16:47

imake should be a a makedepends. There's probably some missing depends. Did you ran namcap on the PKGBUILD and package?

dedhart · 2006-10-19 02:29:16

Thx, there are no dependancies listed and afaik the only dependancies are alsa support & I imagine alsa-utils, though it might possibly work w/old OSS drivers too (not sure) I'm not sure how makedepends works, but it makes sense since imake really isn't a dependancy. Never heard of namcap before but tried it and it gave me this:
PKGBUILD (wmsmixer) W: Missing Maintainer tag
PKGBUILD (wmsmixer) W: Missing CVS Id tag
Is there a how to for this?

Lone_Wolf · 2006-10-19 08:30:18

Those maintainer and cvs id settings seem to be only relevant for packages in official repos, not for aur.

aside from running namcap on the pkgbuild, also run it on the pkg.tar.gz file as this will find more run-time dependencies.

The wiki has some information on namcap , and offcourse there's always the man-page.

dedhart · 2006-10-19 09:56:17

Well thanks for the info, namcap doesn't give me anything but when I tried it, it did give me some errors about no rules for man pages, but eventualy I just got it to work, so I'm not sure if theres anything else I should add to the pkgbuild.

Also is there a trick to submitting a pkgbuild cause I keep getting this

Could not create directory /home/aur/unsupported/wmsmixer/wmsmixer.

Lone_Wolf · 2006-10-19 11:48:18

I submitted a new package yesterday without trouble and a new version for one of my exisiting packages just now without problems .

Try again, maybe it's a temporary glitch.

dedhart · 2006-10-19 15:48:13

Well I tried last night, this morning and just now, doesn't seem like a temporary glitch, created archive w/ xarchiver if it makes any difference.

Lone_Wolf · 2006-10-19 20:31:02

I just did a quick test with a fake PKGBUILD and could submit it without problems. (I've deleted it from aur so it doesn't hurt anyone).

something must be wrong with the file you created.

From AUR_User_Guidelines#Submitting_Packages_to_UNSUPPORTED

After logging in to the AUR web interface, a user can submit a tarball (tar.gz) of a directory containing build files for a package. The directory inside the tarball should contain a PKGBUILD, any .install files, patches, etc (ABSOLUTELY no binaries).

I use the pack command from within Krusader (a filemanager for KDE) to create such files, but xarchiver should have no problems doing the same.

Try again, and if it still doesn't work, just post the complete PKGBUILD here and i'll submit it for you and then orphan it so you can adopt it.

Something is wrong with this. xmkmf does not accept the parameter "--prefix=/usr", when I try to build that package with this, I get the following:

==> Starting build()...
usage:  /usr/bin/xmkmf [-a] [top_of_sources_pathname [current_directory]]

When I remove that parameter from the PKGBUILD, I get the following:

So what's missing here?

nadavvin · 2007-03-11 19:58:55

"So what's missing here?"

The problem is that the "prefix" here:
"make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install"

is not formal and standard for all the package.

There also DSESTDIR and many over options.

you need to look at the MAKEFILE which parameter to use.

If you can't find, you can post the Makefile here:
http://pastebin.archlinux.org/

and we try to find.

Actually, the problem here is that the source tarball doesn't contain the man page or a template to generate it. As it's a simple app, it's easier to directly compile/install without makefile than patching Makefile. Post a comment in AUR so the maintainer knows about that.
