@cassava: What you have now is fine, really. The cleaning before and after is mainly to make sure makepkg -C works even if the build fails.

Confirm -3 builds fine. Only way I could build -2 was in a chroot (I use aurutils, but makepkg failed also)

Hey @johnramsden, thanks for the info. I've updated the PKGBUILD to leave out testing till I find out what the issue is. Could you tell me what the output of file /var/lib/pacman/sync/custom.db is?

@yochananmarqos: The local GOPATH variable is set in the build() function, is that sufficient? Or does it need to be in prepare()? With the settings as they are currently set, wouldn't everything be within the ${srcdir} and therefore a go clean is not necessary?

@cassava: Thanks. One thing you left out is using a local GOPATH and cleaning up afterward. If it's not set, it clutters the user's home directory. Sometimes ~/go/ cannot be removed without using sudo. If there are leftover files, makepkg -C fails because it can't remove them.

I'm getting the following errors when I try to build:

Thanks for the heads-up yochananmarqos! I've implemented most of your suggestions after cross-referencing the Go package guidelines. Main deviation is that I use -mod=vendor to prevent the need for downloading all the dependencies a second time.

yochananmarqos commented on 2020-08-31 18:37 (UTC)

Using a local Go cache and updated build for new Go package guidelines:

prepare() {
  export GOPATH="$srcdir/gopath"
  go clean -modcache
}

build() {
  cd "$pkgname-$pkgver"
  export CGO_CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS}"
  export CGO_CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
  export CGO_CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS}"
  export CGO_LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}"
  export GOFLAGS="-buildmode=pie -trimpath -ldflags=-linkmode=external -mod=readonly -modcacherw"
  go build -v -o "$pkgname"

  # Generate the completion files
  ./repoctl completion zsh > completion.zsh
  ./repoctl completion bash > completion.bash
  ./repoctl completion fish > completion.fish

  go clean -modcache
}

Hey guys, the newest version of repoctl should resolve the problems with Zstd. Sorry about that! (Will investigate it further to prevent such things causing issues in the future, as soon as I find the time. But for now, it should work.)

Also, thanks for the advice yochanmarqos, I'll see if I can implement this soon.

No need for both ln and mv when it can be done in one command:

prepare() {
  mkdir -p gopath/src/github.com/cassava
    ln -rTsf "$pkgname-$pkgver" \
        "gopath/src/github.com/cassava/$pkgname"
}

Please use the updated Go package guidelines.

Do not use the !strip option; in fact the binary needs to be stripped of the build path using the -trimpath flags:

build() {
  export GOPATH="$srcdir"
  cd "gopath/src/github.com/cassava/$pkgname/cmd/$pkgname"
    go build \
        -trimpath \
        -buildmode=pie \
        -ldflags "-extldflags \"${LDFLAGS}\"" \
        -v .

    cd "$srcdir/gopath/src/github.com/cassava/$pkgname/cmd/repols"
    go build \
        -trimpath \
        -buildmode=pie \
        -ldflags "-extldflags \"${LDFLAGS}\"" \
        -v .
}
