Some news about the author of this project.

He seems to be completely moving all his stuff to github.

Recently created repo, https://github.com/aligrudi/fbpad_mkfn

This PKGBUILD, fbpad-mkfn-git, has still not updated the sources.

source=("$pkgname::git+git://repo.or.cz/fbpad_mkfn.git")

I compiled this program without using this PKGBUILD.

Used:

git clone https://repo.or.cz/fbpad_mkfn.git

No special "patches", sed "this" or sed "that", or "edits" were made. Just follow the instructions in the README.

Make ran without problems. After that edit and use the script "gen.sh" to choose the fonts you like.

This PKGBUILD has a wrong URL:

url="http://repo.or.cz/fbpad_mkfn.git"
url="http://litcave.rudi.ir/"

instead of

url="https://repo.or.cz/fbpad_mkfn.git"
url="https://litcave.rudi.ir/"

It has obsolete:

provides=('ft2tf' 'fbpad-mkfn')
conflicts=('fbpad-mkfn')

As there is no "fbpad-mkfn" anymore. The developer also states this, https://litcave.rudi.ir/ :

... fbpad_mkfn program (or its predecessor ft2tf)...
... Jan 2016: I have uploaded fbpad_mkfn, a replacement for ft2tfdd...

So "ft2tf" shouldnt be there also.

And it currently fails to build with Starting build()... cc -c -O2 -Wall mkfn.c cc -c -O2 -Wall isdw.c cc -c -O2 -Wall pkg-config --cflags freetype2 mkfn_ft.c cc -o mkfn_ft mkfn_ft.o mkfn.o isdw.o pkg-config --libs freetype2 cc -c -O2 -Wall -DSTB_TRUETYPE_IMPLEMENTATION mkfn_stb.c cc -o mkfn_stb mkfn_stb.o mkfn.o isdw.o -lm ==> Entering fakeroot environment... ==> Starting package()... install: cannot stat 'mkfn': No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().

Hello, could you update homepage to https?

Valryne: BTW, the old `ft2tf' executable still works.

Valryne: I adjusted `gen.sh' to use the new `fbpad-mkfn' executable.

Currently does not provide a ft2tf executable. However, this is essential when using it as a drop in replacement for the old ft2tf program when building fbpad-git. Need to add install line in PKGBUILD analog to the one for fbpad-mkfn executable: package() { ... install -Dm755 mkfn $pkgdir/usr/bin/fbpad-mkfn install -Dm755 mkfn $pkgdir/usr/bin/ft2tf ... }
