Arch Linux User Repository

The line putting Ninja as the default build generator is kinda annoying. You should either add Ninja as a make depends or remove it as the default. Otherwise some users try to install and they get a failing package without knowing why.

@Raimar

Thx, didn't realize. I updated it and fixed the build commands

It would be great to generalize the script by using

cmake --build .

and

cmake --install . --prefix "$pkgdir/usr"

This makes it possible to define a different prefered build tool like Ninja by using the environment variable CMAKE_GENERATOR=Ninja, which builds usually faster.

Current revision can't build on latest build toolchain and is out of date. The following PKGBUILD works for me:

You have to build EP_mnmlstc_core as root, as long as EP_mnmlstc_core devs will fix it. You can edit PKGBUILD file and add sudo. I removed sudo because its violates AUR rules. I will fix that as soon as itpossible.

@steinbuch

It looks like MNMLSTC/core requires root permissions to install to the default location. Not sure what the "correct" fix is, but the mongocxx documentation states:

If you are using the default MNMLSTC polyfill and are installing to a directory requiring root permissions, you should install the polyfill with sudo before running make so you don’t have to run all of make with sudo

Modifying the build() section of the PKGBUILD to the following builds and installs properly, however it seems to ignore DESTDIR and installs the EP_mnmlstc files directly to /usr/include/bsoncxx/v_noabi/bsoncxx/third_party instead of into the built package. This means that pacman will not be able to track / manage these files. Removing the sudo make EP_mnmlstc_core line and just running the entire make command as root also installs the files directly instead of in the package, so I'm not sure if this is a result of something being broken or just how the AUR package has always installed.

build() {
    cd "$pkgname-$pkgver/build"
    echo $pkgdir
    DESTDIR=$pkgdir cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
    DESTDIR=$pkgdir sudo make EP_mnmlstc_core -j$(grep -c proc /proc/cpuinfo)
    DESTDIR=$pkgdir make -j$(grep -c proc /proc/cpuinfo)
}

There must be some kind of permissions issue (I'm not building as root):

hello,

• DONT build as root
• also makepkg uses MAKEFLAGS, so no need to override -j make option:

build {

cd "$pkgname-$pkgver"

mkdir -p build && cd build

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..

make

package {

cd "$pkgname-$pkgver/build"

make install DESTDIR="$pkgdir"

Packages should not install to /usr/local
