GCC and Make should not be dependencies see the arch wiki:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System - "Note: Before complaining about missing (make) dependencies, remember that the base group is assumed to be installed on all Arch Linux systems. The group "base-devel" is assumed to be installed when building with makepkg. See #Install tools." Also Make install should be fixed as stated by dlin : i.e in the package section replace make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install with make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" PREFIX=$pkgdir VARPREFIX=$pkgdir install If you don't want to support this please do not put your self as the maintainer(if you didn't have ownership I could take it and make the changes and then orphan it again). Thank you.

Is this line solve the build problem? (I don't know how to test, but this could package without error) make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" PREFIX=$pkgdir VARPREFIX=$pkgdir install

Looks like it did not work without root Access cause Pearl modules Needs to be registered. If you didn't like this, please provide a PKGBUILD which works. Thx

hmm, tested with pacman and yaourt... should recheck this...

It's still not working for me... I think there are a couple Makefile variables not getting set correctly. Look on line of the tarball's Makefile ("install -d..."); that's the line that's still failing.

Megachip commented on 2012-09-18 00:26 (UTC)

fixed

This has to be installed with root or it fails, which I refuse to do. It seems like it's wanting to install it directly (!) without installing to the makepkg temporary directory. This needs fixing. It's essentially broken.
