Alpino

I'm creating a PKGBUILD for alpino. To build alpino, it needs, among other things, /usr/lib/swipl-5.10.1/library/dialect/sicstus/swipl-lfr.pl from the swi-prolog package. However, to use such prolog files as they do in the Makefile, e.g:

swipl  /usr/lib/swipl-5.10.1/library/dialect/sicstus/swipl-lfr.pl <args>

the swipl-lfr.pl needs to be executable, which it isn't. Is there a way to achieve this in a PKGBUILD? i.e. how can I give executable rights to swipl-lfr.pl?

p.s. If the file is executable, alpino builds just fine.

My guess is that the easiest way is to file a bug report to get it made executable....

That has crossed my mind as well. To run a prolog file, by definition it has to be executable (makes sense so far). However, that means you can say the same for all the 1719 pl files included in swi-prolog? When taking a look at the rpm package provided by swi-prolog, none of these files are executable which leads me to think they're may be a better solution.

You could always chmod within the PKGBUILD. Hacky, and will fail if stuff gets moved around.

You should not be able to chmod a file on your system from within a PKGBUILD.
