Made this buildable again, thank you.

the Makefile has changed, and the build command should now be

make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" PREFIX="/usr" SYSCONFDIR="/etc" install

Unable to build -

cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/etc/systemd/system/rtpmidid.service': Permission denied
make: *** [Makefile:150: install-rtpmidid] Error 1

Edit: Nope this doesn't work. But the point is, the executable needs to be in /usr/bin and not /bin. Not sure what the easiest way to do this would be, maybe run text substitution on the Makefile? Or just manually copy everything?

To reflect some recent changes in the build process, the PKGBUILD should now do something like

build() {
  cd "$pkgname"
  make CMAKE_EXTRA_ARGS='-DENABLE_PCH=OFF' build
}

package() {
  cd "$pkgname"
  make CMAKE_EXTRA_ARGS='-DENABLE_PCH=OFF' PREFIX="$pkgdir/usr" install
}

I got this package to work on 64-bit Manjaro on Raspberry Pi by modifying the 'arch' field. The only hitch is that there is not currently an Arch pandoc package available for 64-bit ARM. The way I got around it was by installing pandoc in a Conda environment and running makepkg from there. Other than that, there are no problems running rtpimidid on 64-bit ARM, although it's not technically supported. Could this still be added to the PKGBUILD, or it too messy without the proper pandoc package?

Hey, just a heads up, looks like this depends on pandoc to build. Thanks for the package!

I believe this package is broken in the sense that it requires a username that doesn't exist. Packages should create the users they need, or document it as such, right? I think upstream is only doing debian, so i assume on the deb side they are doing a useradd and we should do so on our side, or document it as such ideally

it is the rtpmidid service that needs added for this package to not fail at startup and i needed to look at the .service file and diagnose that was why (systemd's error for this isn't amazing unfortunately)

Hi,

if you can't build this even from git without AUR, then yes, please file the bug.

Regards, Alex

Hi there, thanks for this package.

I do get a build failure.

Should I file a bug upstream?

This is an upstream error. If there is something that can be done at our side, I'll update the package.
