Forget it. It installs without any file conflicts all right. It did not due to the AUR helper and some ancient aur database.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I can't reproduce this issue. I rebuilt the latest version (6.5.0-4) in a clean chroot, and was able to install all packages without file conflicts. Can you show the detailed pacman output?
"gcc6" and "gcc6-libs" have conflicting files. As mentioned in former comments they can be installed using pacman's --overwrite flag:
pacman -S --overwrite /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/6.4.1/libstdc++.a,/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/6.4.1/libstdc++.la gcc6 gcc6-libs
But, "libstdc++.a" file is not the same in both packages. Which "libstdc++.a" file should we keep? "gcc6"'s or "gcc6-libs"'?
No worries. gcc
can be a pain to build, so I always build the versions of gcc I maintain in a clean chroot.
I'll look into some of the makedepends
, I don't recall needing all of them when I maintained the package before it went to community. But my memory might be flawed...
Building in a clean chroot did it, thank you @valandil! I had tried installing gcc6 both with yay
and manually with makepkg
but both failed.
Here are the steps that worked for me:
Install devtools
from the official repos (for the multilib-build
command).
Install libart-lgpl
from the AUR.
Download this PKGBUILD and run the mutilib-build
command mentioned below from the directory where the PKGBUILD is located. If you used an AUR-helper, you find your libarg-lgpl
package in the cache folder of the helper (for yay
that is ~/.cache/yay/libart-lgpl/...
.
Now install the build packages using pacman -U gcc6-...pkg.tar.zst
I highly recommend building this package in a clean chroot. This avoids the use of a AUR helper, which sometimes uses /tmp
as the stating directory, which often gets filled completely by gcc's build process.
It also provides a clean environment, which minimizes interactions between your current environment and gcc's build process.
Hi,
I was able to build the package in a clean chroot. I suggest you try that as well. Here's the command I used:
multilib-build -- -I /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libart-lgpl-2.3.21-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
Hey there. Build failed for me. Here a makepkg log. It this a problem on my side or does the PKGBUILD need a fix?
