I had a conflict with the "filesystem" package with the current PKGBUILD as it is not using /usr prefix (-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr)

Why not just copy the capstone's PKGBUILD from extra ?, it provides capstone and python-capstone, with a few changes it could be adapted to provide capstone-git and python-capstone-git.

I tested a bit with this, it's mostly a copy from extra

I updated this for 6.0.0Alpha4 since I needed it for a dependency while extra is holding at 5.0.6. I think this AUR package will not be needed again once 6.0.0 is released and extra updates to that.

I can't reproduce this error. It builds fine with commit 74136cab65230a3e198745db1c1dbdcdea1daca5 for me.

$ makepkg

Hi, I'm getting this bewildering error:

  GEN     capstone.pc
  LINK    libcapstone.so.5
  AR      libcapstone.a
ar: creating /tmp/makepkg/libcapstone.a
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/makepkg/capstone-git/src/capstone-git/cstool'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target '../libcapstone.a', needed by 'cstool'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/makepkg/capstone-git/src/capstone-git/cstool'
make: *** [Makefile:408: all] Error 2

The include directory fix in capstone.pc is no longer needed as of https://github.com/aquynh/capstone/commit/02e33f8b92366a168701d69d763685fc8b43dc8e

removing the "sed" line in the PKGBUILD fixes the package

test.py was renamed to test_basic.py (it's usually commented out in check() anyway, no biggie) https://github.com/aquynh/capstone/commit/ce3f0d093548f2a04b9d5a021c983a53492ae740#diff-5e35ef2f4151cd9e3a99b76910e67ba6

roblabla commented on 2017-03-17 18:16 (UTC)

This currently doesn't compile. It fails when linking cstool with : /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcapstone I believe the problem comes from the fact that cstool doesn't behave properly when BUILDDIR is set. In the main makefile[0], we can see that the library is built in BUILDDIR. However, the cstool makefile[1] looks for the library in the ../ folder. This is a bug in upstream's makefiles.

If you mean /bin/sh: line 2: ./tests/test.static: No such file or directory FAILED I think it's safe to ignore. The tests simply do not exist, and thus are failing. If it bothers you, notify upstream.

dummys commented on 2016-01-26 09:03 (UTC)

Hello l0gic, You are right it seems to be a yaourt fail :( With makepkg it works. Test is still not working.

l0gic commented on 2016-01-22 19:57 (UTC)

I could not reproduce your error, and suspect it's caused by yaourt. Please try building it manually with makepkg. There was another issue with the tests, though.
