AUR confusion

I'm trying to install bin32-wine on an x86_64 box.

I go to AUR, download the tarballs, run makepkg,and then pacman -U package_name.tar.gz.  I do this for all of the dependencies, and then finally, bin32-wine.

Everything appears to install just fine, but when I attempt to run wine, it cannot be found.  After doing an updatedb and locate wine, the only references I can find to it are in the directories I extracted the tarballs to.

When I started this I assumed these were only build directories and that pacman would actually install the binaries into their expected locations, is this not the case? What is going on?

Re: AUR confusion

You shouldn't have to individually install all the dependencies. Pacman should take care of that.

Have you tried a more automated approach to using AUR? Try using either packer or yaourt to install things from AUR.

Re: AUR confusion

Looks like your bin32-wine package wasn't build correctly. Are there any files in your bin32-wine*.pkg.tar.gz package?

You can always use gaming repo, more here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=711297

You could have done either `tree pkg` or `pacman -Qo bin32-wine` to check what the package brings to your system instead.

BTW, bin32-wine is flagged out of date, so there's a chance it does not build correctly even it used to. General rule is don't build out-of-date packages, unless you know well enough what you're doing.

Re: AUR confusion

I was not aware of yaourt, which greatly simplifies things, and the gaming repo does exactly what I was trying to do with arch.

Thank you both.
