When i run makepkg configure outputs:

why is make trying to create directories?
if i just run "./configure && make" in a fresh src dir it doesnt do this....

I'm not entirely sure, I I think it's because of the "--prefix=/usr" line. Try using

    ./configure --prefix=$pkgdir/usr || return 1

and see if that works.

Still, with the chroot in place, I would have thought it would try to create $startdir/usr, not /usr.

The problem is a oddly written configure script. For some reason, it creates the dirs inside the configure script (lines 19703-19710) instead of the makefile.

I would suggest sed'ing the proper dirs instead of giving it a hardcoded fakeroot prefix:

  sed -i "s#mkdir -p \$prefix#install -dm755 $pkgdir\$prefix#" configure
  ./configure --prefix=/usr || return 1
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install || return 1

ah, that works. thx.

ive added:

make DESTDIR=${startdir}/pkg install || return 1

at the end of build(), somehow install tries to install to this path:

/bin/install -c -m 644 ./gepolabo-icon.png /home/metalfan/makepkg/gepolabo/pkg/home/metalfan/makepkg/gepolabo/pkg/usr/share/pixmaps/gepolabo/gepolabo-icon.png

i have no clue why.... any ideas?

That's a result of the hardcoded fakeroot prefix. When you specify the prefix as $pkgdir/usr instead of /usr, it will install to $pkgdir$pkgdir/usr instead of $pkgdir/usr. Just in case you missed it, I posted one solution above.

oops, i did....the sed fixes the problem. thx

looks like src/$pkgname-$pkgver is not deleted if make fails for some reasons....wouldnt that make sense to get a fresh start?

I think the main reason makepkg doesn't remove the dir automatically is to let you diagnose the error(s) first (e.g. config.log).

man makepkg or makepkg -h will help you out there - you're looking for the -c/--clean option.

If I'm understanding metalfan correctly, I think he's asking about failed builds.

He's asking why the src dir was not deleted, and I'm saying that if he wants that, he has to specify it on the command line.

tdy · 2009-01-16 00:02:38

But as far as I know, "-c" only affects successful builds. I believe he's essentially asking about a "-c" equivalent for failed builds (even though I don't see much of a point for one personally). Unless I'm missing something, the only way to remove the src dir after a failed build is to manually "rm -r" it.
