Like @Witko I needed perl-uuid and perl-text-template in order to be able to run even vmware-cmd --help

aaronm-cloudtek commented on 2019-08-05 20:30 (UTC)

@Witko, I've been able to build and install the package, and run esxcli without those packages installed. Exactly what command are you trying to run that requires those? Sounds like they may need to be listed as optional dependencies.

Witko commented on 2019-07-30 08:35 (UTC)

Thanks for the package. Just installed it. To run it it requires 2 more dependencies: perl-uuid, perl-text-template. Maybe these could be added to PKGBUILD. Thanks!

It seems an even newer Perl has arrived in testing (5.30), I had to use a patch again:

I'm not sure this actually made it into master, I had to patch it manually given the instructions below.

To build the package successfully with the new Perl version, I had to use a patch like this:

@spaceback

Thanks for your input. Your resolution seems to working fine. I applied it successfully to multiple independent systems. The patch you supplied has been merged with the master branch.

Cheers, Paul Wilk paul.wilk@null.net

this patch makes it build correctly:

Package build failed because of:

rm: cannot remove '/tmp/vmware-vcli/pkg/vmware-vcli/usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/Data/Dumper.so': No such file or directory

Please change Perl's path to "$pkgdir"/usr/lib/perl5/5.26/core_perl
