Unable to build package

tripox · 2010-12-05 22:14:51

For some reason I can't build my package.

cp: cannot create regular file `/home/tripox/aur/pkg/usr/bin/': No such file or directory

If I create the directories myself, they are gone when I run makepkg again.

However, it does compile the program.

I'm new to this but followed the article on the wiki.

Here's my PKGBUILD:

# Maintainer: Mathias R. Larsen <tripox@tripox.dk>

pkgname=xbattbar-acpi
pkgver=0.3.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A simple battery indicator bar"
arch=('any')
url="http://sharesource.org/project/xbattbar/"
license=('GPL2')
groups=()
depends=('libacpi')
makedepends=()
optdepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
source=(http://dl.sharesource.org/xbattbar/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('996a0e41a7256c575fb9be1caae21f9a')

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/xbattbar"
  make
}

package() {
  cd "$srcdir/xbattbar"
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}

Any ideas?

It'd be good to post the PKGBUILD you're working from.

I've posted it now.

Works fine here.

Your Makefile assumes that $pkgdir/usr/bin exists -- a poor assumption. You should be using install(1):

install:
  install -Dm755 xbattbar-acpi ${DESTDIR}/usr/bin/xbattbar
  install -Dm644 xbattbar-acpi.1.gz ${DESTDIR}/usr/share/man/man1/xbattbar-acpi.1.gz

Thank you very much!
It worked! But I needed to run it as root.

That implies that DESTDIR was never set and you installed the files directly to /usr/bin, without the $pkgdir prefix. Not sure where you went wrong... the Makefile below worked for me, as expected:

CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -O2 -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE
LDFLAGS = -lXext -lacpi

all:
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c -o xbattbar-acpi.o xbattbar-acpi.c
    $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o xbattbar-acpi xbattbar-acpi.o

clean:
    rm -rf xbattbar-acpi
    rm -rf xbattbar-acpi.o

install:
    install -Dm755 xbattbar-acpi $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin/xbattbar-acpi
    install -Dm644 xbattbar-acpi.1 $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/man/man1/xbattbar-acpi.1

uninstall:
    rm -rf $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin/xbattbar-acpi
    rm -rf $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/man/man1/xbattbar-acpi.1.gz

Just a heads up: if you're interested in making this more portable, there's a few other things you'll want to take care of in this Makefile.

Wow, that was a bit difficult.
The Wiki just confused me.

Thanks, falconindy.

Check it out now.
I think I finally made it.
