Ah thank you, it does work on my another machine. It looks like it's a problem in my own setup. Sorry for spamming.

It does, look in /etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh The problem is that file is not being sourced when you login. Are you using a shell other than bash perhaps? Is your bashrc not sourcing /etc/profile? This really shouldn't be the responsibility of fakeroot-tcp.

It seems like arch's po4a package (https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/po4a/) does not install the binary into PATH directory, causing this build to fail without any extra configs by the user (which defeats the whole purpose of the AUR).

Could PKGBUILD be updated to explicitly state usr/bin/vendor_perl/po4a location?

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.
