Arch Linux

teke, it's in the AUR, you have to build it yourself.

Impossible de compiler sur Raspberry Pi. package-query n'est pas disponible.

That flag out of date was a cliking error. Sorry.

I think the Wiki page means a AUR package should not have base-devel in `makedepends`.

yaourt is a little bit special since it can be used to build AUR packages, which will require `base-devel` and I guess @excalibur1234's argument is that a package that is used to build AUR package should make sure `base-devel` is installed so that users will not have any trouble compiling AUR packages.

However, since being able to install AUR package is not it's only function, ,e.g. I use it mainly to download AUR package (-G) and build locally or simply as a wrapper of pacman that doesn't require typing sudo etc, I think `base-devel` should at most be a optdepends.

@MilanKnizek: sorry, but this is no reason. it is a warning.

having base-devel as dependency of yaourt would exactly do this: ensure this group is installed before complaining about failed builds.

The referenced Wiki says it clearly:

Warning: Packages in the AUR assume the base-devel group is installed, and AUR packages will not list members of this group as dependencies even if the package cannot be built without them. Please ensure this group is installed before complaining about failed builds.

is there a reason why base-devel is no dependency?

yaourt does NOT work well without base-devel.
base-devel is a prerequisite of the AUR: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR#Prerequisites

@oriba: Read the comments further below.

can build and install yaourt, but errmsg appears, when using it:

"package-query: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

ps with 'cxoffice' I meant this https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/crossover/ ^^;
