I downloaded the source codes using web.archive.org and uploaded everything to github: https://github.com/Energoblock/lcdtest

The source code archive is located here: https://github.com/Energoblock/lcdtest/releases/download/1.18/lcdtest-1.18.tar.gz

I also changed PKGBUILD:

# Maintainer: Mike Sampson <mike@sambodata.com>
# Contributor: Andrej Gelenberg <andrej.gelenberg@udo.edu>
pkgname="lcdtest"
pkgver=1.18
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="A utility to display LCD monitor test patterns."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')

depends=('sdl_image' 'sdl_ttf' 'ttf-liberation')
makedepends=('scons')

build() {
    cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/
    scons
}

package() {
    cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/
    install -d -m0755 ${pkgdir}/usr/bin
    install -m0755 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/src/${pkgname} ${pkgdir}/usr/bin
    install -d -m0755 ${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man1
    install -m0644 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/man/${pkgname}.1 ${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man1
}

I checked everything, it compiles and works perfectly. The hash match the original file.

Maybe use web.archive.org?

Regards and thanks for maintaining!

install: cannot stat '/home/user/.cache/yay/lcdtest/src/lcdtest-1.18/build/lcdtest': No such file or directory

Can someone help?

The patch is not needed anymore and is causing following issue:

$ lcdtest
fatal error: can't open font
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Made it work when using ttf-liberation-ib from infinality-bundle-fonts: https://gist.github.com/vith/36b9e1290a2a694b861352a1d8e2e774

must be replaced build() package() { cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/ patch -p1 <$srcdir/patch scons install -d -m0755 ${pkgdir}/usr/bin install -m0755 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/build/${pkgname} ${pkgdir}/usr/bin install -d -m0755 ${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man1 install -m0644 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/man/${pkgname}.1 ${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man1 }

ZeroBit commented on 2013-04-15 13:28 (UTC)

To make it work in line 745 of the lcdtest.c should be following (right path to font): const char font_path [] = "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf";
