error compressing pkg while building mythtv-0.16

hcman · 2004-10-21 10:12:04

I have been trying to build mythtv using the PKGBUILD from here:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … ght=mythtv
(made by Net@Worm).

It builds fine but at the final stage I get:

==> Compressing man pages...
==> Stripping debugging symbols from libraries...
==> Stripping symbols from binaries...
==> Generating .PKGINFO file...
==> Generating .FILELIST file...
tar: *: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
==> Compressing package...
tar: *: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
==> Finished making: mythtv  (Thu Oct 21 10:43:54 CEST 2004

The package then installs but there is no filelist and <pacman -Ql> gives no information. What's going on here?

PS The PKGBUILD:

pkgname=mythtv
pkgver=0.16
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="MythTV is a homebrew PVR project that I've been working on in my spare time. It's been under h
eavy development for two years, and is now quite useable and featureful."
url="http://www.mythtv.org"
license=""
depends=('freetype2' 'lame' 'qt' 'mysql')
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
source=($pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=()

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

package builds here with same error ...

thinking that package description is wrong ...

pkgdesc="MythTV is a homebrew PVR project "

might be better ....

HTH

try pacman -Qi mythtv

the "cannot stat" error basically implies that there are no files to compress - that means that somehow the "make install" failed... or there was a failure before that.... try running those commands by hand, one at a time, and see if anything fails

my guess is that all your files might be installing directlyto your system and not into the pkg/ directory. if you had been using fakeroot to build this package it would give you a better idea on what is going on. building as user with fakeroot would through all sorts of errors if the build tried to install directly to your system.

hcman · 2004-10-21 17:44:12

Yes exactly what happened Sarah31. I don't have the time to look into it any further right now though so it'll have to wait.

Mythtv works installed from source so it's just a matter of getting the PKGBUILD right to use it as an arch pkg.

to fix this, look in the Makefile - the $prefix variable you specified is not used... it is most likely DESTDIR or PREFIX... check it then you can fix the pkgbuild

sarah31 · 2004-10-21 21:26:38

try changing " make $prefix=$startdir/usr/pkg .... install " to " make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install "
to make sure it end out in /usr/local just add --prefix=/usr/local to the configure line (note that is usually the default for most source)

Mr Green · 2004-10-22 12:48:28

changed PKGBUILD... (sarah31)

still get

first off.... you need to add some --enable flags to the ./configure call (alot of it defaults to no... check ./configure --help

i would enable ogg vorbis too and add that as in the "depends" array...

i'm atempting to build this now, when i finish it I will post my findings.... out of curiosity, qmake is part of what package? I want to add that in the makedepends array....

phrakture · 2004-10-22 14:27:53

you want this: and scratch what i said about the --enable flags... they're commented out in the configure file... my fault
