The problem here for WSL is you need fakeroot-tcp to build fakeroot-tcp.  Chicken and egg scenario.

Solution is to download the pre-built binary, chmod 755, temporarily add it to your path, then you can install from AUR.  

https://github.com/Venomtek/fakeroot-wsl-bin

To build it yourself, either follow the instructions in the PKGBUILD or do this:


cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fakeroot/fakeroot_1.35.1.orig.tar.gz
tar xvf fakeroot_1.35.1.orig.tar.gz
cd fakeroot-1.35.1/
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/opt/fakeroot \
        --libdir=/opt/fakeroot/libs \
        --disable-static \
        --with-ipc=tcp
make
sudo make install
OLDPATH="$PATH"
export PATH="/opt/fakeroot/bin:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:$PATH"
rm /usr/bin/fakeroot
sudo cp /opt/fakeroot/bin/fakeroot /usr/sbin/
sudo chmod 755 /usr/sbin/fakeroot
whereis fakeroot
fakeroot --version


Now make sure it reports as version 1.35.1 and then you can makepkg -i the PKGBUILD after editing it.
You can also remove the /opt/fakeroot directory. 
I suggest you add /usr/bin/vendor_perl to your permanent path as suggested below.

Good luck!

Was getting same result as @firday13

Reinstalled po4a and appended /usr/bin/vendor_perl to $PATH got it working

Awebb commented on 2022-05-24 03:56 (UTC)

@firday13: po4a is a make dependency.

$ whereis po4a
po4a: /usr/bin/vendor_perl/po4a /usr/share/man/man7/po4a.7.gz /usr/share/man/man1/po4a.1p.gz

Your p04a is broken. Reinstall the package.

Failed to build after upgrading glibc to 2.33, with error: ‘_STAT_VER’ undeclared. Possibly related to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/69572

@sgorblex: +1 your patch works perfectly, hope maintainer @4679kun will update soon

dakyskye commented on 2020-12-02 11:58 (UTC)

@sgorblex I get /usr/sbin/fakeroot: line 1: kill: (10356) - No such process now. Any idea?
