Hello,

I'm having the same problems as others here are - xampp won't build because proof always crashes. I want to add this package to my repo, so I spent some time digging into this further.

I understand (I think?) proot is used here to bind the /opt/lampp to the xampp package source dir in order to trick the .run file into "installing" inside that dir so all its files/folders can be taken and made into an Arch package.

I ran the proot bind command ahead of time and then tried to run the installer inside the proot environment, but it always errors and says it can't create the /opt/lampp folder. I am not sure why this is, but I get the error regardless of whether or not I perform the binding.

Is there any reason why this might be happening? Something to do with my setup, maybe, some settings I need to change? I'll keep poking around but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Just for information and for people who want a working xampp (but without using aur) here a working procedure until we have a fix on the pkgbuild : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZvswUKi6TdVK5SVnjrREAltvBq4bmiWG0EaElSD4F9I/edit?usp=sharing

It's strange. In the current PKGBUILD, inside the prepare() function, there is a line,

# Against proot error `proot info: pid XXXX: terminated with signal 11`
export PROOT_NO_SECCOMP=1

which does exactly that. Doing

export PROOT_NO_SECCOMP=1
proot -0 -b "${pkgdir}/opt/lampp:/opt/lampp" etc....

should be exactly the same as doing

PROOT_NO_SECCOMP=1 proot -0 -b "${pkgdir}/opt/lampp:/opt/lampp" etc....

as you suggest. However this package is in need of a fix. Right now nobody can install XAMPP from a PKGBUILD.

I was getting an sha1sum fail on proot install (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/proot/) and some directory issues. this PKGBUILD resolved:

https://gist.github.com/pm0u/afe618f7db3f17e5b5afce9e3e777d94

changes lines 4,16,20

Also, terminate with signal 11 from proot during build. Changing line 80 of the xampp PKGBUILD from

proot -0 -b "${pkgdir}/opt/lampp:/opt/lampp" "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-linux-x64-${pkgver}-0-installer.run" \

to

PROOT_NO_SECCOMP=1 proot -0 -b "${pkgdir}/opt/lampp:/opt/lampp" "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-linux-x64-${pkgver}-0-installer.run" \

fixed the issue for me.

I still get the hanging forever as others have described, though.

Hey, is there a solution for the infinite "Extracting package (this might take several minutes, don't give up!)..." problem?
