You can build the last version of Beyond Compare v4 I packaged (4.4.7.28397) by doing this:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/bcompare.git/
cd bcompare
git checkout dcf8794f1301c9213558b2583a956c04cf2a2135
makepkg -crs

Since you have a license for v4, you might be interested in looking at the upgrade policy at https://www.scootersoftware.com/kb/upgradepolicy .

I hope it helps!

@vith: Thank you. That was the problem.

vith commented on 2016-03-22 09:35 (UTC)

@Salzi: in pacman 5: "the ability to build a single package in a PKGBUILD has been removed" Sounds like your AUR helper isn't up to date.

Salzi commented on 2016-03-22 07:35 (UTC)

Can not update to the new version. Get the error: makepkg: invalid option '--pkg' ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build bcompare. I installed only bcompare without an optional package.

Updated to version 4.1.5-21031. Enjoy!

Updated to version 4.1.4-20978. Enjoy!

@vith: You should have kde4-config if you want to use bcompare-kde package. In that case, you should have kdelibs available, as shown in the next command: [musikolo@MyPC ~]$ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/kde4-config /usr/bin/kde4-config is owned by kdelibs 4.14.15-1 If you aren't interested in KDE at all, please just ignore the error altogether because the install.sh script it's assuming the file existence when checking KDE version. It seems to be a small bug, but nothing be worried about. Please, let me know if anything else is needed. Thanks for you feedback.

Seems to work fine but I saw this weird message when installing with `pacaur -S bcompare`. Is that expected? ==> Starting package_bcompare()... install.sh: line 184: kde4-config: command not found ====================================== Please place the following in your .bashrc or .cshrc (etc.) export PATH=/tmp/pacaurtmp-vith/bcompare/src/install/bin:$PATH ====================================== Executable is /tmp/pacaurtmp-vith/bcompare/src/install/bin/bcompare

Updated to 4.1.2.20720: - bcompare-gnome renamed as bcompare-nautilus - bcompare-xfce renamed as bcompare-thunar - added bcompare-nautilus and bcompare-mate packages - yaourt issues should be gone (not tested though) Enjoy!

@Musikolo, @blueyed, Please change Line 48 to cd "bcompare-${pkgver}" to enable yaourt style installation. sha256sum for 4.1.2.20720 32-bit: bdf5f3c32782c60516554fcbfa34f84f3e46ea0757bda2f1a4cd8670fb748864 64-bit: 7e820508f5fbc9fe97e2f1b5e7fe020cd213399f011c9808e78a3d9eafb4913f Thank you.

"bcompare-gnome" fails to install with "pacaur -S bcompare-gnome". This is likely true for all extra packages (see similar reports for yaourt): ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... bcompare-4.1.1.20615.x86_64.tar.gz ... Passed ==> Extracting sources... -> Extracting bcompare-4.1.1.20615.x86_64.tar.gz with bsdtar ==> Starting prepare()... /tmp/pacaurtmp-daniel/bcompare/PKGBUILD: line 48: cd: bcompare-gnome-4.1.1.20615: No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
