Package now requires make dependency libsearpc

dreieck commented on 2024-04-17 14:43 (UTC)

I now get the following error:

==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> ERROR: pkgver in provides is not allowed to be empty.
==> ERROR: pkgver in provides is not allowed to be empty.

Turns out that _pkgver="${pkgver%%[a-z]*}" is empty, since pkgver() returns

dosemu2.2.0pre9.2.r44.g278d1c7dc

Maybe you need to add a sed -E 's|^dosemu[0-9]*\.||' to pkgver() to strip off the leading dosemu2..

Regards!

I now also think that the COMMAND.COM/ comcom32/ comcom64/ freecom etc. should be a dependency of dosemu2, not of fdpp:

When I launch dosemu without any command.com automatically found, it says

ERROR: Neither freecom nor comcom32 installation found.
Use DOSEMU2_EXTRAS_DIR env var to specify location of freedos
or DOSEMU2_COMCOM_DIR env var for alternative location of comcom32

And when I manually set DOSEMU2_COMCOM_DIR=/usr/share/comcom64 it fails with ERROR: comcom64 support not compiled in.

When I recompile dosemu2-git after having installed comcom64 this issue goes away (another, unrelated, issue pops up).

For me it clearly is a DOSEMU2 thing relevant here for the interpreter, not a fdpp thing.

Hm.?

Regards!

I fixed the mirrors. ftp.sun.ac.za is too slow for me so I set mirror.math.princeton.edu for most of them.

return 1 does not show the line number and that's what I need to diagnose errors. I could use ${LINENO} but that would turn a single line into a multi line statement, larger and less readable. echo "${}" is a single statement that does everything I want.

Do the dosemu2 install routines sometimes install stuff into $DESTDIR/usr/local/

I put those tests in at the beginning so I know if an option is wrong. No reason to take them out. I haven't seen a /usr/local error in a long time but it happened to you so it must be possible.

Regarding this issue:

Using
https://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/freeDOS/gnuish instead of
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/gnuish
solves it for gnu_diff23x.zip and gnu_fut312bx.zip, but gnu_tut111ax.zip then gives me a HTTP error 403.

https://ftp.sun.ac.za/ftp/pub/mirrors/freedos/gnuish seems to work.

↗ Here the upstream maintainer of thunk_gen, which is a dependency of fdpp, suggests that the comcom32-dependency should be moved from fdpp(-git) to dosemu2-git.

I forward this suggestion to you so you can check what is the correct way to go.

Regards!

This doesn't exist anymore: https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/gnuish

An alternative is: https://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/freeDOS/gnuish

That bash error …

Sorry, echo "${}", which is literally in the PKGBUILD, is invalid bash code. That needs to be adapted anyway -- if you want package() to exit cleanly with an error then use return n with n>0, and print an error message before.

For example, replace
test -d "${pkgdir}/usr/local" && echo "${}"
by

if [ -d "${pkgdir}/usr/local" ]; then
  error "\${pkgdir}/usr/local is present. Try rebuilding with 'makepkg -cC'. Aborting."
  return 22
fi

If you just wanted to print something and not to abort, you need to replace "${}" with some valid content.

That error is detecting that /usr/local is present.

More specifically, it is detecting that ${pkgdir}/usr/local/ is present.

By the way, why is this needed? Do the dosemu2 install routines sometimes install stuff into $DESTDIR/usr/local/, and it is not easy to handle it cleanly, so an abort and clean rebuild is the better way?

Try makepkg -scCfi.

Tried.
Have deleted complete content of $BUILDDIR/ and $SRCDEST/ and $PKGDEST/ before.
Worked.
Thanks :-).

That bash error is one of the few that shows the line number so I know right away where the error is from your post. That error is detecting that /usr/local is present. Try makepkg -scCfi.
