[Solved] guvcview

BlueRain · 2010-01-12 10:32:51

Hey everyone!

I'm new in Archlinux and first time posting here. I just had the chance to (or tried to) install guvcview but it gave me this error from AUR repositories.

$ makepkg -s
==> Making package: guvcview 1.2.1-1 i686 (Tue Jan 12 02:15:13 PST 2010)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
twolame package not found, searching for group...
error: 'twolame': not found in sync db
==> ERROR: Pacman failed to install missing dependencies.

According to here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16521, and the PKGBUILD, twolame are part of the AUR repositories. I proceeded to build it by clicking on the twolame under the dependencies and came back to enter makepkg -s but the above error spewed out again. Not quite sure what I am doing wrong or perhaps I must not be reading enough materials enough but either way, I ask your aid.

Thanks

If an AUR package depends on an AUR package you first have to install the dependecy.
Means download the PKGBUILD for twolame and makepkg for this first then makepkg for guvcview.

I understand. I tried to PKGBUILD from twolame first and then makepkg from guvcview but gave me the same error message.

I'm guessing I haven't enabled something for Pacman to check the system.

No, you also have to install the package you've build, sorry that I didn't mentioned it.
So after makepkg for twolame there'll be a file called twolame-<version>.pkg.tar.gz.
Install this package using:

pacman -U package-file

Then do the same for guvcview.

For more explanation see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg

Thanks! I will remember to do a bit more reading before asking next time.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.
Then there is an other thing you can remember if a problem you posted here is solved set the title of the thread to [solved]<oldtitle> means for this one [solved]guvcview.
It helps a lot to keep track of the problems.

Sure thing. I was hoping I could see a separate box that says [Solved] like in other Forum.

Thanks again.
