Have tried to build but am getting the same error as @wu2305 with mv: cannot stat libfreetype.so.* file. Have tried with the -r flag and without. With the -r flag, it contains bin/glnxa64/ but this directory is then empty. Is this likely a PKGBUILD issue or a mistake with the tar file?

Hi, I'm tackling the problem with the add-ons installation, where the installer can't write to /usr/local/MATLAB/R2022b. I think we should avoid manual chmods or chowns, as it would be easy to mess up with the permissions, so I created a matlab group with rwx permissions, which owns the tree starting at /usr/local/MATLAB/R2022b. The PKGBUILD sets up the correct permissions, so after installing MATLAB, you should just add yourself to that group, re-login and then you should be able to install add-ons. So far I'm able to start the installer, download the add-on archive, but when I get to Performing post-installation tasks. This may take a few minutes..., an error occurs, and the installer logs End - Unsuccessful Exception: java.lang.InterruptedException without further information.
If anyone wants to help me resolve this issue, here is the repo: https://github.com/Rubo3/matlab-aur/tree/addons.

Hi @wu2305, are you using the latest revision of the PKGBUILD? Are you running makepkg with or without the --repackage or -R flag? Do you have the /home/wu2305/repos/matlab/pkg/matlab/usr/local/MATLAB/R2022b/backup directory? If yes, does it contain the bin/glnxa64 directory? What are its contents?

I've tried the PKGBUILD and I met the errors following: mv: cannot stat '/home/wu2305/repos/matlab/pkg/matlab/usr/local/MATLAB/R2022b/bin/glnxa64/libfreetype.so.*': No such file or directory Have I missed some critical steps or some minor problems in PKGBUILD lead to this error? I'm looking forward to your reply

@bestfriend python-matlabengine needs MATLAB to work. If I run pacman -Rcns matlab, python-matlabengine is removed, too. I don't know why it didn't work for you. If you update to R2022b and still experience this issue, please let me know.

I updated the PKGBUILD to MATLAB R2022b. Sorry it took so long. Here are the main changes:
- The dependencies have been updated according to
namcap(thanks @sukanka), and are now managed via the matlab-meta meta package, now it's really easy to play around with them, as you don't have to rebuild the entire MATLAB package (thanks @bbaserdem). I still don't know the exact dependencies needed by MATLAB, as I don't use all its toolkits and whatnots. As always, please tell me if you find something. - The MATLAB installer now outputs its logs in
install.log, under the same directory of the PKGBUILD, so that you can check whether something went wrong even if it didn't fail (e.g. when you need a new license or installation key because the major version changed). - I moved
python-matlabengineto its own repo, which is built from upstream and works for the latest MATLAB versions. Currently it supports Python 3.9 and 3.10. If you have other needs, you can find the installation instructions here. Since the source files are still provided in your local MATLAB installation under$_instdir/extern/engines/python, building it and packaging it here was really just a convenience. I would like to know how many users of this PKGBUILD really need to spoof their Python version, so that we can reason about putting back that extra logic in the other PKGBUILD. - I also removed the Mesa workaround and the optional compilers, are they still needed?

Also should python-matlabengine be installed as a dependency of matlab? I noticed it was left on a previous install after pacman -Rcns matlab.

I omitted the libselinux and gconf dependencies and was able to install R2022a along with several toolboxes. Not sure if/when something will break. Arch Wiki says libselinux is for the help browser and livescripts. Help seems to work, but I don't use livescripts, so I'm not sure about that. Thanks for the package!

Hi @nisarg13, the PKGBUILD doesn't download the source files. It expects them to be in the same directory where you put the PKGBUILD. You can read the installation instructions here: https://github.com/Rubo3/matlab-aur
nisarg13 commented on 2022-08-29 17:30 (UTC)
Where do find the source files? it seems that the PKGBUILD was supposed to download them during installation, but it doesn't.
