I am trying to create a package for multi-gnome-terminal and have been having some difficulties. I use fakeroot and created the directory multi-gnome-terminal in /var/abs/local. I copied the gnome-terminal directory from /var/abs/extra/gnome/ into my /var/abs/local directory to use as a template for building my own package, but there are a couple of variables that I do not understand in relation to building my own PKGBUILD. Where would I find the variables for depends and make depends for a programme that I would want to make a PKGBUILD for. For example on multi-gnome-terminal home page it has references to what you need to compile
"To compile the sources you need at least
gnome-libs-1.0.59
gdk-pixbuf-0.7.0
gtk-libs 1.0.9"
would this be defined in makedepends?
I am including my PKGBUILD for multi-gnome-terminal

Any help with building PKGBUILD would be much appreciated.
thank you thank you very much.

Found out the mistake, you will probably kick yourself for it. You have a ) instead of a }. Those things that are required to compile should be put into the makedepends.

Thanks kritoke.
I changed the ) to a } and still received errors when using makepkg; see below for results.

When making packages for PKGBUILD is it best first to build the package on your own computer with ./configure -- and then use ldd or ldconfig to find the dependencies that are required to build the package for PKGBUILD.

Or namcap... knowing full well that namcap is only able to detect link-level dependencies.

Thanks Xentac.
I have tried namcap but I my problem is that I have to be able to get my PKGBUILD from
its' current status to multi-gnome-terminal-1.6.2-pkg.tar.gz, then I could use namcap to find dependencies that are needed so that I could add the correct dependencies in my PKGBUILD:
That being said have I come back to my original question which is, " should I build multi-gnome-terminal by doing ./configure --options ie. prefix and so on, then make and make install and finally running ldd on /usr/bin/multi-gnome-terminal so that I would have a complete list of depenendencies for "makedepends ()?". My problem is that I get this error when running makepkg -c:

Could someone please point out to me why and how to correct this error with tar decompression in makepkg.
thank you thank you very much.

hi nornn,
your location is wrong:
http://multignometerm.sourceforge.net/w … 6.2.tar.gz
this download.shtml stops at a webpage, downloads it and try to decompress an htmlfile.
http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sour … 6.2.tar.gz
will does a better job I think. :-)
bye neri
PS:
I think this is a gnome1.x app and won't work anymore. But try if you want, good luck

Thanks neri.
Your suggestion worked and you are correct about multi-gnome-terminal being a gnome 1.x application. I found that out when I got the checking for gnomeConf.sh and received make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...
and found out that I need libgnome from gnome 1.4 which is not available in pacman; so I am quitting with multi-gnome-terminal. I have learned quite a bit about makepkg and will continue with makepkg thanks to the support of those in the forum.
thank you thank you very much.
