Manjaro Linux pacman/makepkg not working, throwing errors and failing to build

JadenCH · June 4, 2020

So I checked, g++ is installed in /usr/bin/g++ and gcc is installed in /usr/bin/gcc. I'm using kernel 5.6, and have linux56-headers installed. I also have installed base-devel installed. AUR and makepkg worked fine until now, and I have no idea what happened.

The error/code:

~ >>> pamac install openboard

Can you install the package manually? AUR helpers aren't always 100% trustworthy

Tried to manually makepkg it but it still fails.

Check if

make

also gives you the same error

Do you know a good package/thing to test it on?

Since it's a qt project, I did qmake and got the same error.

~/.../src/OpenBoard-1.5.4 >>> qmake ±[●●][master]

I did mean make, if you look inside the pkgbuild it runs qmake first - which produces the error - and then it calls make. Since qmake errors out make is never invoked but I read that sometimes qmake can throw errors like that that are actually spurious and can be ignored.

Ok, but what should I test make on then? Like do you know a program that is compiled/installed with make?

You can test make in the same folder, if qmake actually worked then there should be a makefile

Well here's the problem. I deleted it and redownloaded it from the AUR and now it only has the openboard.install file and the PKGBUILD file.

Ok so it actually turns out that what I was trying to qmake was the src folder created by running makepkg. It's what it makes before makepkg fails. There is no makefile, just .pro files.

Sorry to post so much shit. So I can't find anything that can be put together with make, but CMake also fails when trying to install drawpile from AUR.

I wouldn't expect cmake to work, there's a reason qmake exists honestly it could be a whole host of things that is causing your error, if I were you I'd ask on the AUR page if they know what's going on. Consider that Manjaro is not exactly the same as Arch and so it's possible that you have some incompatible default configuration or library somewhere. You can also try building it directly from github or asking for help in the issues section.

Avoid using pamac for the AUR. I have found it quite unreliable, it bugs out sometimes with normal updates. I personally recommend yay. It is a AUR help. Uses same commands as pacman, which does come with your system.

Start with making sure your system is up to date sudo pacman -Syu or yay -Syu

Using yay.

yay -S openboard

Using Git + makepkg

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/openboard.git
cd openboard && makepkg -si

Keep in mind that while Manjaro is based on Arch, Manjaro typically holds packages back for 2 weeks and sometimes longer.

The Arch User Repository targets Arch, as such dependencies can occasionally break for AUR packages on Manjaro.

There also seems to be a flatpak image available. You can install flatpak with sudo pacman -S flatpak. Then install from flathub.

OpenBoard does however build for me on Arch Currently.
