Can someone tell me what's wrong with my PKGBUILD ??

max-k · 2008-01-17 17:34:20

Hello, i have written a PKGBUILD for kodos, but there is a problem ... it doesn't works :-)

Here's the PKGBUILD :

# Contributor: max-k <max-k@post.com>
pkgname=kodos
pkgver=2.4.9
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="The Python Regular Expression Debugger"
arch=(any)
url="http://kodos.sourceforge.net/"
license=('GPL')
depends=('python' pyqt' 'sip')
source=(http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kodos/kodos-2.4.9.tar.gz)
md5sums=('d608c8b3484667d3a82ba6dfe29bb18d')

build() {
cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
python setup.py bdist
tar -xzvf ./dist/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.linux-i686.tar.gz ${startdir}/pkg
install -D -m 644 $startdir/kodos.desktop $startdir/pkg/usr/share/application$
}

I don't know what's wrong. Can someone help me ?

Another question, i have seen some packages who proposed to choose the sourceforge mirror to download the file from.
I don't know how to do this, does somenone have an idea ?

should be

depends=('python' 'pyqt' 'sip')

and please don't use mirrors in the source array (so dl.sourceforge.net should be used in this case)

[edit]
and this line is also wrong

  install -D -m 644 $startdir/kodos.desktop $startdir/pkg/usr/share/application$

not sure what you are trying to accomplish....i guess you have included a .desktop file yourself ???
in that case your line should be
install -Dm644 $startdir/src/kodos.desktop $startdir/pkg/usr/share/applications/kodos.desktop
and you should add kodos.desktop to the source array

If you take a closer look at the dependencies, you can slim them down to this: depends=('pyqt')
Also, don't use dl.sf.net or specific mirrors: source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)

thanks a lot
i'll correct it and upload my PKGBUILD

max-k · 2008-01-17 20:27:01

If i take a lokk at `install --help` the correct line seems to be :
install -D -m=644 ${startdir}/src/kodos.desktop ${startidr}/pkg/usr/share/applications/kodos.desktop
isn't it ?

Ok, here's my new PKGBUILD :

# Contributor: max-k <max-k@post.com>
pkgname=kodos
pkgver=2.4.9
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="The Python Regular Expression Debugger"
arch=(any)
url="http://kodos.sourceforge.net/"
license=('GPL')
depends=('pyqt')
source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/${pkgname}/${pkgname}-${pk$
md5sums=('d608c8b3484667d3a82ba6dfe29bb18d')

build() {
cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
python setup.py bdist
tar -xzvf ./dist/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.linux-i686.tar.gz ${startdir}/pkg
install -m 644 ${startdir}/src/kodos.desktop ${startidr}/pkg/usr/share/applications/kodos.desktop
}

it doesn't work because tar cannot create ${startdir}/pkg directory
I don't know how can i do.
`python setup.py bdist` create all that is needed by yaourt or abs to install the package but not in the correct directory and it "targzip" it
It creates it in ${startdir}/src/build and i need to copy it ("untargziped") in ${startdir}/pkg.

I don't understand why you say that : in the help of install, they tell us to use -D -m 644 or -D --mode=644

The problem isn't in this line, this line works.
I've made an other PKGBUILD which works well with the same line inside.

Short command flags can be concatenated (usually) - in this case, -D -m 644 is the same as -Dm644.

Okay, let me try to explain it to you. You ask what to write in that line, I gave you already a working line in the first post. Second, in your line there is a spelling error. Third what is wrong in that line is that it tries to install a file which does not exist. You do need to create a .desktop file first before you can install it.
I suggest you read about that here

Further it seems you have not much of an idea what you are doing in the PKGBUILD. I hardly doubt you have looked in setup.py. You really need to examine these custom scripts when you use them.

Anyways, this works for me (you may want to clean it up a bit )

pkgname=kodos
pkgver=2.4.9
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="The Python Regular Expression Debugger"
arch=(any)
url="http://kodos.sourceforge.net/"
license=('GPL')
depends=('pyqt')
source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/kodos/kodos-2.4.9.tar.gz)
md5sums=('d608c8b3484667d3a82ba6dfe29bb18d')

build() {
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/{bin,share}
  cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
    python setup.py build
   cd build
   cp -rf lib $startdir/pkg/usr/share/kodos/
   install -Dm755 scripts-2.5/kodos.py $startdir/pkg/usr/share/kodos/kodos.py
   ln -s /usr/share/kodos/kodos.py $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/kodos
#      install -D644 ${startdir}/src/kodos.desktop ${startdir}/pkg/usr/share/applications/kodos.desktop
      }

I'll going to sleep now because it's 2:28am here.
Have a good night.

I'm sorry, it was not my intention for you to feel stupid. Guess I was a bit tired.
I'm glad your problem is now solved!

It's ok, no problem.

I've tried your solution and mine but any of them works when i publish my package to AUR.

Yours :

build() {
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/{bin,share}
cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
python setup.py build
cd build
cp -rf lib $startdir/pkg/usr/share/kodos/
install -Dm755 scripts-2.5/kodos.py $startdir/pkg/usr/share/kodos/kodos.py
ln -s /usr/share/kodos/kodos.py $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/kodos
install -D644 ${startdir}/kodos.desktop ${startdir}/pkg/usr/share/applications/kodos.desktop
}

Result :

running build_scripts
creating build/scripts-2.5
copying and adjusting kodos.py -> build/scripts-2.5
changing mode of build/scripts-2.5/kodos.py from 644 to 755
install: option invalide -- 6 -----> (oh ! this remind me something ;-))
Pour en savoir davantage, faites: « install --help ».
==> ERREUR: La compilation a échoué.
Abandon...
Error: Makepkg was unable to build kodos package.

Mine :

build() {
cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
python setup.py bdist
cd dist
tar -xzvf ./${pkgname}-${pkgver}.linux-i686.tar.gz
cp -rf usr ${startdir}/pkg/
install -D -m 644 ${startdir}/kodos.desktop ${startdir}/pkg/usr/share/applications/kodos.desktop
}

Result :

==> Continue installing 'kodos'? [Y/n]
==> [v]iew package contents [c]heck package with namcap
==> ----------------------------------------------
==>y

did you use a clean directory to try my PKGBUILD ? (I just copied it in a directory and ran makepkg and it builds cleanly for me)

max-k · 2008-01-19 00:33:46

i have uploaded a package to AUR (with the PKGBUILD and the .desktop file) and i have tried to install it from with yaourt package manager.

pressh's PKGBUILD works fine for me.

Edit: Also, when pasting errors, please use LANG="C" makepkg, etc
