The maintainer of this "gromit-mpx-git" PKGBUILD has not logged in or updated any of his PKGBUILD's since 2022.

As others have already pointed out, this PKGBUILD 'gromit-mpx-git' has several errors than need to be corrected in the "cmake"

Maybe the maintainer of "gromit-mpx" , https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gromit-mpx, would like to adopt this "gromit-mpx-git" ? Would be better for consistency if the same person took care of both.

Currently, 2025-03-18 ,

$ pacman -Ql gromit-mpx-git

gromit-mpx-git /usr/bin/gromit-mpx
...
gromit-mpx-git /usr/etc/
gromit-mpx-git /usr/etc/gromit-mpx/
gromit-mpx-git /usr/etc/gromit-mpx/gromit-mpx.cfg
....
....
...

Notice that "/usr/etc/". That is a big mistake. No PKGBUILD uses or should use "/usr/etc". It should of course be "/etc/gromit/"

This is how the PKGBUILD "gromit-mpx" does it,

$ pacman -Ql gromit-mpx

gromit-mpx /etc/
gromit-mpx /etc/gromit-mpx/
gromit-mpx /etc/gromit-mpx/gromit-mpx.cfg
gromit-mpx /usr/
gromit-mpx /usr/bin/
gromit-mpx /usr/bin/gromit-mpx
....
````

In the PKGBUILD,

25 build() { 26 cmake -B build -S gromit-mpx \ 27 -G 'Unix Makefiles' \ 28 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING='None' \ 29 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH='/usr' \ 30 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR:PATH='/etc' \ 31 -Wno-dev 32 cmake --build build

```

Please explicitly specify the CMAKE Generator, 'Unix Makefiles', like so:

    cmake -G 'Unix Makefiles' -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

as the build as it is now fails if the system has another Generator set as the default.

yochananmarqos commented on 2020-12-11 23:57 (UTC)

You'll need to use the following build flag otherwise the config file ends up in /usr/etc/:

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR='/etc'

Please add git to makedepends, otherwise building in a clean chroot fails.

Behind a firewall etc. it would be great to add also https to git source in PKGBUILD. If someone is currently behind a firewall or the git port is blocked in general add https in PKGBUILD line 15 like: ... source=("git+https://github.com/bk138/gromit-mpx.git") ...

Thanks, that was good work.

I can confirm that E100's PKGBUILD works for me.

E100 commented on 2016-12-05 08:02 (UTC)

gromit-mpx 1.2 now requires cmake to build and libappindicator-gtk3 as a dependency. This is my first time making PKGBUILD, but after some searching I was able to make it build again. Here's my PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/aW58Gxpm
