[REQUEST] lxappearance

purete · 2008-03-29 12:29:15

Hello!

Can someone please make a lxappearance (http://lxde.sourceforge.net/) PKGBUILD, because I my PKGBUILD fails at the 'make install' step. Lxappearance is a better alternative to gtk-chtheme.

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

Maybe you should post your current PKGBUILD and we can help you to correct and improve it.

...hmmm - I just made my first PKGBUILD - and by a chance it's lxappearance.
It works on my system (I installed from the PKGBUILD using pacman without a problem) but I would be grateful if somebody more experienced would check it and made needed corrections. Anyway - here it goes:

#LXappearance
#tami (tamibzyk.at.gmail.com)
pkgname=lxappearance
pkgver=0.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="LXAppearance is a new GTK+ theme switcher able to change GTK+ themes, icon themes, and fonts used by applications"
url="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/lxde/"
arch=('i686')
license=('GPL')

source=(http://downloads.sourceforge.net/lxde/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('f2214617af03a8b8fa577dcb068426b6')

build() {
        cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
   ./configure --prefix=/usr
   make || return 1
   make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install

}

EDIT: Cleaned-up PKGBUILD according to Snowman's advices below - unfortunately DESTDIR line did not work, so, I kept my old line which is working).

For license, use:
license=('GPL')

For make install line, try to use:
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
If that doesn't work, change it back to what you currently have.

You can also remove the unused fields to get a cleaner PKGBUILD. Also, the description could be more descriptive.

@Snowman: Thank you very much. I will make the necessary changes ASAP. Then I will edit the PKGBUILD above, so perhaps it will be more usable for others. Thank you once again for your time.

The best would be to submit the PKGBUILD to AUR.

what dir is lxappearnce looking at themes and icons? Everything works great except I have double themes in the available list. In /usr/share/themes everything looks fine.
