Arch Linux User Repository

After installing the package do not forget to add your user to the gnunet group, with

sudo usermod -aG gnunet "$(whoami)"

If later you want to remove your user from the group, launch:

sudo gpasswd --delete "$(whoami)" gnunet

For information on how to use GNUnet plaese refer to the GNUnet article in the ArchWiki.

@lash

See PKGBUILD § makedepends:

Note: The group base-devel is assumed to be already installed when building with makepkg. Members of this group should not be included in makedepends array.

recommend adding automake to explicit deps

Sorry for the delay -- yes, it works now, thank you!

@frankspace

The problem should be solved now.

@frankspace

Apparently that error is due to different versions of libtool between who packaged the GNUnet tarball upstream and who uses Arch.

Previously it was easily solvable by launching autoreconf -i, however with this release that will not work, due to a missing file necessary for launching autoreconf -i (the file was restored after the package was released, so version 0.16.1 will not have the same problem).

Solutions:

1. Install gnunet-git and stick to it (if you do it now it is almost identical to this version)
2. Or: Try to compile and install this package while you have gnunet-git installed (you will be asked to remove gnunet-git at the end of the process and you will have to say Yes)

I am getting a compilation error that looks a lot like what @franz encountered. I am building it in a clean chroot without use of any AUR helpers. Compilation fails with the following:

I tried putting the autoreconf -i line back in, but that just caused compilation to barf immediately with the following:

I'm running Artix rather than Arch, but I can't imagine that should make any meaningful difference. So I'm stumped.
