Problems (#1) - packaging for arch linux (#1) - Message List

1. The old #! debacle...I changed the makefile to explicitly call awk (in the repository, I'll probably release 0.5.02 this weekend).
2. I'm not sure what to do here. Either you should patch the Makefile (cwiid/common/include/lib.mak) to remove ldconfig, or I should provide a way to turn it off. I'll see if I can find a precedent in another package, and post what I find here.

Thanks for packaging CWiid for another distro! Please post something to the wiki when it's been officially added to ArchLinux.

Ok with the new version (0.5.02) the packaging things is going better; but i have another error:

ln -sf libwiimote.so.0 /home/valdar/projects/archlinux/packages/undefined/cwiid/pkg/usr/lib/libwiimote.so #ldconfig make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/valdar/projects/archlinux/packages/undefined/cwiid/src/cwiid-0.5.02/wiimote' make install -C wmgui make[1]: Entering directory `/home/valdar/projects/archlinux/packages/undefined/cwiid/src/cwiid-0.5.02/wmgui' make[1]: *** No rule to make target /home/valdar/projects/archlinux/packages/undefined/cwiid/pkg/usr/bin', needed by install'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/valdar/projects/archlinux/packages/undefined/cwiid/src/cwiid-0.5.02/wmgui' make: *** [wmgui] Error 2

this is the commands executed by the package tool:

cd $startdir/src/cwiid-$pkgver

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-ldconfig make make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install

it seems that it can't create $startdir/pkg/usr/bin eaven if it is able to create $startdir/pkg/usr/lib $startdir/pkg/usr/include and $startdir/pkg/usr/etc.

Valdar.

Another problem here concerning config files directory: if i use --sysconfdir=/etc during the make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr/ install it try to copy the config files in /etc/cwiid and obviously it can't. If i use --sysconfdir=$startdir/pkg/etc it copy the files in the right place during the packaging but, once installed from the maked package, wmimput can't finde the default config file because he search it in $startdir/pkg/etc.

Any ideas? I hope you understand my bad explanation of the problem.

Thank you and sorry for bothering you. Valdar.

Hi evryone! I'm back! :P

I'm try to re-package the dev branch for arch linux and i noticed that there is new stuff arround like the python module:

Where does it must be installed?

This is my install command (under the system that make packages for archlinux):

make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr sysconfdir=$startdir/pkg/etc install

and this is the error:

make install -C python
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/valdar/projects/archlinux/packages/unsupported/lib/cwiid-svn-dev/src/dev-build/python'
python setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_ext
running install_lib
copying build/lib.linux-i686-2.5/cwiid.so -> /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages
error: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/cwiid.so: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/valdar/projects/archlinux/packages/unsupported/lib/cwiid-svn-dev/src/dev-build/python'
make: *** [python] Error 2

any advices?

It seems that the python installer doesn't recognize the prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr option...

If i change the line number 15 in the python/Makfile.ini from:

python setup.py install $(SET_ROOT_DIR)

to

python setup.py install --root=/home/valdar/projects/archlinux/packages/unsupported/lib/cwiid-svn-dev/pkg

then it worked.

There is a way for doing this through configure or make options??
