you need to download snapshot at the top right of page: Package Actions View PKGBUILD / View Changes Download snapshot Search wiki Flag package out-of-date

the extract that and use makepkg.

Ok, I decided to go with plain makepkg and got an error: ==> ERROR: install file (.install) does not exist or is not a regular file. I expected to find .install in Sources but isn't there... Have I done something wrong?

I have the same issue.

maybe it is because archlinux no longer supports 32bit amd maybe depends_i686 just gets converted to depends.

or maybe it is because , as I saw in archlinux forums somewhere, aur helpers get the dependencies from this webpage and see "Dependencies (8)" I remember arguing with a aur herper developer that said his program got the dependencies from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/[package] and not from PKGBUILD. he said that it was that way so that the aur helper could find all the dependencies and download them.

UPDATE: here is the issue I reported to one. https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru/issues/293

but maybe he was wrong and aur webpage gets the deps from PkgBuild file. but if it doesnt, then maybe it is better to remove them form here in aur page and keep them in pkgbuild file.

Hi all, I see comments that "AUR helpers are not supported...". Yes, I know how to install package from PKGBUILD, but at the same time I find usage of AUR helper (like, 'yay' in my case) very convenient. And this one is the only package that tries to install 32bit libraries on my 64bit system. This looks strange as no any other package from AUR (and I have many of them installed) required it before. So I assume something might be improved with this PKGBUILD. Just a wish, not a complaint.

Error loading 'https://freefilesync.org/download/FreeFileSync_11.12_Linux.tar.gz' Abort... source code loading error: freefilesync-bin

Help, please.

UPD It's OK. Sorry.

I forgot to mention that makepkg error was not the lib32 part but it just cant work with the snapshot downloaded from aur. but make build worked with no error.

but now that I try again makepkg works too. weird.

First line in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers:

"Warning: AUR helpers are not supported by Arch Linux. You should become familiar with the manual build process in order to be prepared to troubleshoot problems."

Obviously, because makepkg (which is used by make build) detects that the x86 dependencies are not necessary for your 64-bit machine and other tools (like the tools you tried) don't make this distinction.

So, either use a tool that correctly handles the architecture-specific dependencies, or investigate why the x86 packages can't be installed in your case. Maybe you have the same problem like cybertron (see aminvakil's comment from 2021-03-22 08:49 UTC)?

rezad commented on 2021-03-24 21:44 (UTC)

then why it fails to create this aur package? but make build can.?
