Currently needs lua 5.4 because 5.5 decided to have loop variables const (breaks in AB). Forgot also to add ninja to makedepends. Something is wrong with the pathes, you have to set ACKDIR=/usr.

Yes, good catch. the AB python-based build system generates ninja build files.

I also forgot to add the CP/M patch..

New version coming.

Though I personally would argue that meson, ninja should be part of base-devel nowadays..

Seems that ninja is needed in makedeps?

Now our old friend is there again, probably I have to set something in the new build system or fe is not built at all:

ack: Cannot find description for fe

which it searches in:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/data/INSTALL/ack-git/pkg/ack-git/usr/share/ack/descr/fe", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

which is the build location, ok.

It is installed here:

pacman -Ql ack-git | grep '/fe'
ack-git /usr/share/ack/descr/fe

Fixed, see also https://github.com/davidgiven/ack/issues/338

currentty the patch doesn't apply and I get an UNREACHABLE_CODE compilation error, must investiage..

andreas_baumann commented on 2024-06-28 06:37 (UTC)

make in build has to set the FINAL PREFIX=/usr, so that the installed compiler can find it's subcommands and data. Otherwise you just get this when invoking it:

ack: Cannot find description for fe

Here are my doings :-)

sh: line 1: /data/INSTALL/ack-git/src/ack-build/staging/bin/aslod: No such file or directory

Adding util/amisc+aslod-pkg to ack/plat/cpm/build-pkg.lua in installable helped, could be totally wrong.

Taking ack from git directly works, no clue really what goes wrong here.

/data/INSTALL/ack-git/src/ack-build/staging/bin/ack: /data/INSTALL/ack-git/src/ack-build/staging/lib/ack/linuxppc/top

Setting CFLAGS="" in make in build helps. Most likely something to do with too much optimization or fortfication.
