dradio: No such file or directory

chochem · 2009-02-25 14:47:39

This is kind of embarrading but I tried to use one of the PKGBUILDs I have submitted myself and found that it aborted. Adding insult to injury, I'm unable to figure out why. I have tried going through the steps manually and have found out that the problem appears to be with the Makefile.

Here's the PKGBUILD:

# Contributor: chochem <chochem@gmail.com>
pkgname=dradio
pkgver=2.3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An ncurses interface to netradio from DR (Denmarks Radio)"
arch=(i686)
url="http://thrysoee.dk/dradio/"
license=('GPL')
depends=('expat' 'ncurses' 'mplayer' 'tidyhtml' 'curl' 'libxslt')
makedepends=('gcc' 'sed' 'make' 'coreutils')
source=(http://thrysoee.dk/dradio/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz)
md5sums=('2fc06b40c81173d9df1787672e04365c')

build() {
  cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver
  sed -i s,ncursesw/menu.h,menu.h,g config.h.in configure configure.ac src/dradio.h
  ./configure --prefix=${pkgdir}/usr
  make || return 1
  make install
}

and what it results in - just the final bit of the makepkg build process (same as by running make manually):

make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mads/linux/build/dradio/src/dradio-2.3'
Making all in src
/bin/sh: line 17: cd: src: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mads/linux/build/dradio/src/dradio-2.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...

The directory '/home/mads/linux/build/dradio/src/dradio-2.3' does contain a 'src' directory so I don't get it. As it is make that craps out I figured that the 'line 17' refered to was line 17 of the Makefile (correct me if I'm wrong - this is not my sort of thing). Line 16 and 17 of that reads:

srcdir = .
top_srcdir = .

If I change either, I just get other errors....

Any suggestions? I have this unpleasant feeling that I'm missing something basic... Besides I got it working before when I submitted it - this is a fresh Arch install....

Builds fine here. Make sure you have all packages belonging to the base-devel group installed (pacman -S base-devel). Also, don't list base-devel packages as makedepends; people building packages are required to have them installed beforehand.

Thanks for the suggestion (and for testing) but the pacman command only reinstalled the packages and the result's the same as before.

Builds fine here, too, (x86_64). But even more strange, for me line 17 is the empty line //before// the two lines you mentioned above. "srcdir = ." is in line 18.

edit: I talk abot the Makefile under $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver/src

Suggestion: delete $srcdir and try again.

Thanks for replying.

Okay - I guess I was referring to the $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver one. I take it the $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver/src is the original which is then 'customised' by configure into the $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver local copy? Or something?

Actually I managed to build it without errors by running make as root on a whim and subsequently 'sudo makepkg --asroot'. Apparently it is an issue with make not specific to this script. Simply I cannot run make as my normal user (well I can run it as in 'type make and it will run'-permission but not as in 'use it to build anything') and since I apparently hadn't used any other PKGBUILDs on this install, I hadn't come across it before.

It's somebthing noobie, I fear... Have I forgotten to add myself to some group or other? Groups give me:

wheel uucp hal video audio optical storage power users gcal

The groups are okay, I suspect fakeroot to be the culprit.

chochem · 2009-02-28 21:07:05

Okay - I tried reinstalling, checking the file permissions and reading the man page of fakeroot but I'm none the wiser... The man page mentions a number of what seems to be environment variables (LD_PRELOAD and FAKEROOTKEY) though doesn't explain them very well. can you give me a hint?
