I've implemented the path replacements suggested by @dviktor, see https://gitlab.com/dpeukert/pkgbuilds/-/merge_requests/14#note_1089447825 for more details.

As you can see I was able to fully evade /usr/local parts in file paths by simply changing strings in corresponding executables. I've tested it on one of my previous WAV recordings and things look fine!

Complete build tree is located here. To check my patches you can use the following steps.

  1. Patch original binary executable: bspatch ORIG.exec FIXED.exec ORIG-ARCH.patch
  2. Compare original and patched binaries with the following: cmp -l ORIG.exec FIXED.exec | gawk '{printf "%08X %02X %02X\n", $1-1, strtonum(0$2), strtonum(0$3)}'. It will give you bitewise comparison of what has been changed - you can then re-check by hand in, e. g., bless or okteta

It would be great if someone can test my changes; then we can push them here. This will allow to comply to the Arch packaging standards without need of tinkering with /usr/local and similar stuff

Also I've fixed .desktop file a bit: added proper categories. proj should be in dependency list as well - I've found link to this executable while digging through binary executables

@dpeukert, any thoughts about it?)

dpeukert commented on 2021-06-18 00:44 (UTC)

@dviktor: Huh, that looks interesting, I'll try looking into it over the weekend, thanks for letting me know.

What about patching binaries to replace hardcoded strings that point out to /usr/local stuff? I've tried this approach and it works quite well. We can only supply binary diffs instead of patched binaries so PKGBUILD will be small. There are only few strings that should be changed, for example, wxtoimg binary:

/usr/local/include
/usr/local/man
/usr/local/lib/proj.4
in /usr/local/etc/wxtoimg.cfg (or \\WXTOIMG.CFG

Before blindly committing to a new upstream, I'd like to verify that it's in fact the correct binary. I have not had time to do that yet, but should in the next week or so.

Refutationalist commented on 2019-06-27 12:41 (UTC)

The original wxtoimg disappeared, there's a new webpage, but it doesn't have the x86-64 other binary, so I recreated the package using the deb.
