Cannot be build because PKGBUILD is not using the right build process.

==> Starting prepare()...
/home/fred/appimage-git/PKGBUILD: line 34: ./build.sh: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().

Hi, I sadly didn't get it working via AUR, but found the corresponding patches here: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/1084#issuecomment-726358829 Maybe it helps others..

The "mulitple definition of fwriter_buffer" build error described below is caused by a change to GCC's default behavior in GCC 10.0, discussed over on the Gentoo wiki here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gcc_10_porting_notes/fno_common

In the case of this package, the build fails within compiling an external dependency, squashfs-tools. (The code appears to be pretty old, all things considered.) I am supplying a patch that fixes this build error; as I am not a master C programmer you should consider running this by someone else before you use it in production.

This patch is applied in the following directory relative to the top-level PKGBUILD: src/AppImageKit/build/mksquashfs-prefix/src/mksquashfs

The build is still broken due to CMake pulling in mksquashfs on each build but this patch will fix the build error.

Hi, I leave this package to be maintained by anyone who is interested. if you need the software, you can use an appimage from official releases.

killbotvii commented on 2020-07-10 03:04 (UTC)

Hopefully somebody else will take up maintaining this, it is a very useful tool.

killbotvii commented on 2020-07-01 18:54 (UTC)

The exact same output of errors as the two comments below me.

caliberspoon commented on 2020-06-19 19:32 (UTC)

Same here, fails to build. A bunch of multiple definition mksquashfs errors.

sfusco commented on 2020-05-27 17:59 (UTC)

I tried installing this today, and I got a build error when it got to mksquashfs

build error log here: https://pastebin.com/bGayHMKu

it's basically lots of this:

multiple definition of fwriter_buffer'; mksquashfs.o:(.bss+0x400c90): first defined here multiple definition ofbwriter_buffer'; mksquashfs.o:(.bss+0x400c98): first defined here

cmake config problems?

Upstream URL should be https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit

jpcima commented on 2019-11-03 15:53 (UTC)

It's not needed to have a patch anymore to fix the build, so I removed it.
