how to make makepkg recognise edje outside pacman?

I installed e17 via the easy_e17.sh script so I do I have edje installed.

I tried to install emotion from AUR, but the pkgbuild requires edje-cvs. I tried editing it to just 'edje' and counted on makepkg being able to recognise the already installed files even though it hasn't gone through pacman. Simply deleting the dependency from the pkgbuild ends with it not being able to find the evas package.

Is there a way I can edit the pkgbuild to recognise the e_17 install already there? Or alternatively a relatively easy way to make pacman recognise the e17 installation?

Re: how to make makepkg recognise edje outside pacman?

The depends line in a PKGBUILD tells makepkg the packages required, not the applications required. If your e17 setup was not installed by pacman, there is no way makepkg can recognise it.

In this kind of mix-n-match case, deleting the dep from the PKGBUILD is probably the best way to go, as long as you accommodate other deps which would have been pulled in by edje-cvs.
