I'm having an issue installing with 'yay -S basex':

install: cannot stat 'img/logo_256.png': No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package(). Aborting... -> error making: basex-exit status 4 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required: basex - exit status 4

Update: a BaseX team member has passed along some additional, possibly helpful info. Here is their message:

"I don't know who manages the AUR packaging process in the Arch sphere of communities, but an update to the PKGBUILD process maybe needs to happen. It looks like there's an extract and install logo step[1] that needs a small syntax change:

from: jar -xf basex/BaseX.jar img/logo_256.png to: jar -xf basex/BaseX.jar img/logo_large-0.png

Maybe there was a change in how BaseX bundles up those PNGs for the JAR back in the past."

This package needs java-environment added to the makedepends array. The java-runtime from the depends array is not enough to build as it does not provide the jar command.

@drrossum Thanks for pointing this. No, I am using fish.

Are you using csh? Because the profile.d/basex.sh should add the BASEX_HOME/bin to your PATH variable on a sh compatible shell.

Adding symlinks to the executable scripts of basex might be useful :) sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/basex/bin/* /usr/bin/

@maxf: hmmm... I have installed all 'java-runtime" stuff (jre8-openjdk-headless, jre8-openjdk, jdk8-openjdk) but I had no set default Java environment. So I used this: 'archlinux-java fix' and after that I installed BaseX from AUR package sucessfull without any problems :D Thanks!

maxf commented on 2016-05-12 11:25 (UTC)

@Admat81: You're missing 'java-runtime', which is missing as a dependency in this package. Install a JRE (for example jdk8-openjdk since you'll probably also want javac) to fix this.

When I try install it, I have ERROR: /tmp/yaourt-tmp-user/aur-basex/./PKGBUILD: line 39: jar: command not found A failure occurred in package(). Makepkg was unable to build basex. I'm new and I don't know, how to install it correctly :(
