Arch Linux User Repository

Building packages from AUR requires base-devel, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository

base-devel depends among others on autoconf, automake and make.

- Support for 32 bits. (works perfectly)

I've installed it alongside imagescan-plugin-networkscan, sane, sane-airscan and imagescan and it now works

Yeah, scanner still doesn't works

Extract the .tar.gz and use 'makepkg' command to build the .zst package and install

It doesn't work anymore, can't recognize scanner Tried to install it again, but pacam can't find this package anymore. Seems that the snapshot doesn't has binaries too

It seems, that the PKGBUILD depends on autoreconf, but it's not in the dependencies?

When installing, it throws an error (sorry in german): /home/XXXX/.cache/yay/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/PKGBUILD: Zeile 30: autoreconf: Kommando nicht gefunden. ==> FEHLER: Ein Fehler geschah in prepare(). Breche ab... -> error making: epson-inkjet-printer-escpr

It doesn't work on my system, don't recognize the printer.

@jorgicio, the link is not stable, the first part change for each new release. We cannot guess the URL, we need to go through the epson website and find the new link.

Just an observation:

In the source URL, to avoid to rechange the version every time the package updates, first replace the simple quotes for double quotes and replace the package name and version for its appropiate variables. Example:

"https://download3.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/03/00/12/50/95/322b8d6b915ab85add33d41f04ba5130866aadbe/${pkgname}-${pkgver}-1lsb3.2.tar.gz"

Also you can add some other variables and replace them when needed.

Updated, thanks philzin and thinus.
