Howdy,
I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this: I have a .deb package for a program that I installed in Ubuntu. Now I want to install it in Arch but can't find anywhere for a way to install it. I've tried with deb2targz and successfully extracted the contents... But after that I haven't got a clue as to what I have to do. I tried manually compiling it with make and make install, but no success. I found this post:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55148
But the aur package the post is referring to doesn't exist anymore. So I'm stumped.
Help, please.

What package is it ? Source ? Link ?

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15566
That was the link, but the package isn't there anymore. I could really use a tool or a good tutorial on how to install a .deb in Arch. I tried looking for that same package in the AUR, and I found it but it was a demo version AND it was for 32bit. The deb I have is not a demo AND is for 64 bits.

I think flamelab asked what's the name of the package you want to install.

The program is CrossOver Pro, but I have the .deb package for the 64 bit version that works fine on my Ubuntu. It's not the demo that I found on AUR, it's the full edition that the codeweavers people gave out some time ago. That's why I want to install it, but haven't found a way to create the pkg.tar.gz that Arch Linux needs to install it. All I could do is use deb2targz to turn it into a tar.gz file, but when I try to do make and make install to compile it from that file I get squat, so I'm stumped, hehehehe

I don't think you need to compile it, usually .deb is an already compiled package.
You can try to manually do what the build() does - it should be very easy: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cross … o/PKGBUILD
Next, run what's in http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cross … er.install
Or you can adapt that PKGBUILD for the .deb you have.

Just use http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14187
Bump the version / update the md5sum as needed.

@ magyckleo
Read 'man makepkg' and http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Creating_Packages to learn how to do that if you got lost.

For Crossover Pro I always use the sh installer and install it in my home directory.
