Re: [arch-general] PKGBUILD help
Yes been there but all that happens is i get a load of failed deps one of which it seems cannot be satisfied and all 32 bit stuff this is a 64 bit the PKGBUILD mentions 64 bit but goes for 32 bit the fails also complains about google-earth.install is missing so i dont know where to look next It installs 32-bit libraries because the google-earth binary is 32-bit. You can still run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit system. I've got a 64-bit system and it's installed and runs fine. The missing dependency is probably ld-lsb, which you have to get from the AUR and install prior to installing google-earth. If it is complaining about a missing google-earth.install, probably you downloaded just the PKGBUILD. Download and extract the full tarball and you'll have google-earth.install. I should point out that all of this information is available at: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR == John K Pate http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/s0930006/ -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

Seems to me like you'd like an aur tool like 'yaourt' -- then it'd be as simple as 'yaourt -S joe'. Their homepage has installation instructions you can copy and paste as well.

I am also still unable to get anywhere near that close with google earth just piles of complaints (all 32 but complaints but the system is 64 bit i have the .deb 64 bit down to no avail .

Either use `makepkg -i` to install automatically after building, or `pacman -U foo.pkg.tar.xz` to manually install the built package. pgpOGh6Oqpbiw.pgp Description: PGP signature

FWIW makepkg -i requires sudo. I don't set up sudo for my user. IMO there are good wikis about building packages, anyway, when I started I was thankful that somebody on the list explained me, how to build dummy packages. IMO using ABS is very pleasant. I used it for Qtractor from svn and btw. I excluded the checksum. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System - Ralf
