Emerillon, librest & ethos PKGBUILDs

Berseker · 2010-01-07 09:43:54

Hi to all

Some time ago, I wanted to try this OpenMap reader ( http://www.novopia.com/emerillon/ ) and as this program wasn't in the AUR and anyone talked about it in the BBS, I tried to make the PKGBUILD myself ^^

here are my results, I had to build also 2 dependencies that weren't on the AUR too..

I posted this to ask your help, because I probably missed some deps (or make-deps), so please help me test these PKGBUILDs so we can put this on the AUR!

(please be kind with me, as these are my first 3 PKGBUILDS from scratch)

I used the -git of emerellion since, as the website explains, there is no stable version released yet (even if on the site, you can find a .tar.bz2 contaning a 0.1.0 development version)

Generally I've discovered that when creating a PKGBUILD from a git package their dependencies also have to be version control systems PKGBUILDs. If they are not, there may be problems compiling new versions in the future (new feature added, requires newest library...).

From the quick look I did, I noticed that 'emerillon-git' has 'ethos' 'librest' 'gnome-common' as makedepends. makedepends are libraries and programs necessary to build the program. I could be wrong without looking further but I'd bet that 'gnome-common' is necessary for the program to run, and 'ethos' as well. Not sure about 'librest' but it help me if there was a pkgdesc .

Overall the PKGBUILDs look good. Nice work.

Btw, there is a librest-git in the AUR though it is marked "Out of Date".

Well when I was trying to compile emerillon, I can assure you that I had to install ethos and librest packages in order to compile it succesfully; about gnome-common, I've opened a thread similar to this one on the Italian Arch Forum Board, and an user indicated that during the building, the following message appeared to him

You need to install gnome-common from the GNOME CVS

, altough the gnome-common in extra was enough to allow the build.

About the librest-git on AUR, I tried to use it at first, but I wasn't able to build it correctly (I don't remember why, sorry ) so I tried the "stable" version instead.

ps I've updated the librest PKGBUILD with a description

I can assume that no-one was curious to try this open map viewer! Anyway, I think I'm going to put these on AUR, so that if someone finds some other issues they can use the AUR comments

I'm getting an error, I'd like to use your package. But it depends on rest-0.6 and i have librest 0.7 installed?

Any advice?
