Add AUR git package #3
Conversation
Backticks are not evaluated when building on ArchLinux with gnu make 4.2.1. Use the shell macro instead to execute pkg-config. Signed-off-by: Justin Charette <charetjc@gmail.com>

Perfect @boxofrox , thanks! Closes #1
Is there any interest in tagged releases? I usually change stuff only when I need something new, so I saw no reason to do so, but if people are actually using this... :)
I'd say GNU make is expected, you're on your own with any other make .. but this doesn't break gnu make so I have no issue with the change :). |
Not at this time. I stumbled across this tool while browsing user scripts for the Awesome window manager, and started tinkering with it myself. I just have a habit of planning ahead, so if tagged releases commence, then there's an easy path to support them with a package file. Cheers |
Related to issue #1. I have no plans to add this on aur.archlinux.org, so anyone is welcome to be the AUR maintainer.
Since there are no tagged releases, I created an AUR package that builds/installs the latest code in the master branch. Unless the dependencies or
make installchanges, this package should require no maintenance.In the event @himdel starts tagging releases, a separate
PKGBUILDcan be created at that time to only install the latest release.I had issues with the backticks in the Makefile not evaluating, so there's a patch to switch over to the shell macro, though I'm not sure which version is considered more "portable".
ArchLinux install instructions:
makepkg -scfwhich will create the.pkg.tar.xzfile.sudo pacman -U <file.pkg.tar.xz>.
