Arch Linux User Repository

For me the installation failed with the following message:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message):
  Could NOT find PkgConfig (missing: PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE)

It seems that 'pkg-config' is a dependency that is not included in the dependency list.

make[2]: [CMakeFiles/xz.dir/build.make:90: xz-prefix/src/xz-stamp/xz-download] Error 1 make[1]: [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:420: CMakeFiles/xz.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:141: all] Error 2 ==> ERROR: Se produjo un fallo en build(). Cancelando...

cmake is missing from the package dependencies, hence the build fails.

My internet connection was really messy the past days, but finally I got my hands on a more reliable connection. I was able to properly test and fix the build process. Also disabled the automatic activation of appimaged system service. Thanks to @ivanruvalcaba, @steadfasterX and the others that reported the issues and fixes.

By the way I disabled the tests that are run by the build and submitted a pull request to mainstream that fixes improper 'if' condition that always triggered the tests.

Please do not automagically start or enable user systemd services. Instead print a notice on installation. Archlinux users want to have control.

This did the trick for me:

I had the following error like EasyToRemember & jeancf already reported:

PKGBUILD: line 66: appimagetool.AppDir/AppRun: No such file or directory

The following change fixed it for me:

build() {
...
replaced this:

  appimagetool.AppDir/AppRun -n appimagetool.AppDir appimagetool
  appimagetool.AppDir/AppRun -n appimaged.AppDir appimaged

with:
  build/out/appimagetool.AppDir/AppRun -n build/out/appimagetool.AppDir appimagetool
  build/out/appimagetool.AppDir/AppRun -n build/out/appimaged.AppDir appimaged

  # --> this seems to be more correct for the second one but it has crashed with
  # "no space left on device" while i had plenty of them:
  # build/out/appimaged.AppDir/AppRun -n appimaged.AppDir appimaged

after this it goes further but had give me the next error about AppRun.c is missing which I fixed in

package() {
....
replaced:
  cp AppRun.c $pkgdir/usr/share/appimage/

with:

  cp src/AppRun.c $pkgdir/usr/share/appimage/

Then I was able to install but i havent tested yet if the result is working fine :P EDIT: Confirmed to work now :) at least I was able to run the Emteria OS installer fine

why does this start and enable the daemon for all users by default?

I can confirm nimbusflow's problem. Same here and sadly no idea why. I can only say that one of my CPU-cores was up at 100% load for all the time of the test that did fail (and it did fail because of a timeout).

Getting this when installing via pacaur and pamac. Any clues as to why? Thanks in advance!
