Help with PKGBUILD - Buddi

fukawi2 · 2008-12-31 08:12:01

I need to replace the line:

JAVA=`which java`

with

JAVA=/opt/java/jre/bin/java

In the file "buddi" (it's a shell script) but the sed line doesn't appear to be working?

Any help would be great

pkgname=Buddi
pkgver=3.2.2.5
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Personal finance and budgeting program, aimed at those who have little or no financial background."
arch=( i686 x86_64 )
url="http://buddi.thecave.homeunix.org/en/"
license=('GPL')
depends=('jre')
install=
source=(http://transact.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/buddi/$pkgname-$pkgver.tgz)
md5sums=('946aed15ae20244bd4339bdaa61604ad')

build() {
  echo "$srcdir/$pkgname"
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname"

  mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/bin/" || exit 1
  sed -i 's/JAVA=\`which java\`/JAVA=\/opt\/java\/jre\/bin\/java/g' buddi
  cp buddi "$pkgdir/usr/bin/"
  cp Buddi.jar "$pkgdir/usr/bin/"
}

You actually want to use "${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java"

sed -i "s#JAVA=\`which java\`#JAVA=\${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java#" buddi

Thanks Allan

Where does ${JAVA_HOME} come from? The sed line worked, and the line is replaced properly, but I get this when I try to run buddi:

$ buddi
I cannot find your Java executable. Please set the JAVA variable in this script.

Which comes from this in the bash script:

# Check if Java is installed.
if [ ! -x ${JAVA} ]; then
    echo "I cannot find your Java executable.  Please set the JAVA variable in this script."
    exit 1
fi

All java runtimes (jre, openjdk6, ...) should set this varaible in their boot up script in /etc/profile.d/<packgae>.sh

Edit: also your papckage should probably depend on java-runtime instead of jre.

Thanks again Allan - I'll give that a try

What's the general rule of thumb on this? If something runs under jre/openjdk6 but not java-gcj-compat, should it still depend on java-runtime?

Up until now, I've just been using jre since pacman seems to grab java-gcj-compat first.
