Just tried mandelbulber with no luck, I dont think it is checking the AUR repo

if your using 005-extraapps64.xzm yaourt is in this 006-devx+extra64.xzm file, if your just using the default installation and not 005-extraapps64.xzm...then this one 006-devx64.xzm

also if u're using the default xfce desktop install:

Code: Select all

pacman -S --force devx64-xfce30

this is an updated makexzm script...the one in the system/repo doesn't have the updated yaourt tweak.

one last thing...line #34 in /etc/yaourtrc should be changed from:

Code: Select all

#EXPORT=0

to:

Code: Select all

EXPORT=2

i know it's a lotta steps lol...but if it's working right, i'll put these fixes in the next upload.

[ncmprhnsbl]

just said nearly the same thing..^^

[stifiling]

ncmprhnsbl,

not sure if you saw my last message, think i was editing it while u were replying..but did you try directly with yaourt:

Code: Select all

yaourt -S mandelbulber

and see something like this:

Code: Select all

==> Exporting mandelbulber to /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ directory
'/tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/PKGDEST.Mw8/mandelbulber-1.21-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' -> '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/mandelbulber-1.21-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz'

[freestyler]

Sweet, I'll check it out.

[freestyler]

how do I install the makexzm package? Ive never used arch before.

[ncmprhnsbl]

okay, i win the dickhead award
i didn't uncomment # line 34 , didnt quite notice the whole rc commented
so yes, makexzm script(+devx) works perfectly for AUR, output as expected.

@freestyler, you mean the tar.gz? extract it to/usr/bin overwrite existing

[freestyler]

Yeah thats what I ended up doing, I thought it was an arch package at first.
"makexzm mandelbulber" didnt work but "yaourtrc mandelbulber" did

[stifiling]

ncmprhnsbl,

hey i overlook stuff all the time as we can see lol...shoot i thought the system was stable and ready to go.
So what do you think of that makexzm script? Is it ok? see some areas that needs improvement?


freestyler,

there's another script that goes along w/makexzm...it's called arch2xzm....install makexzm first w/pacman and that will install both scripts:

Code: Select all

pacman -Sy

if you haven't done that yet then:

Code: Select all

pacman -S --force makexzm

(the --force is only there to overwrite the file if it's already there, it's not normally used)

then replace the file /usr/bin/makexzm...with the one in the tar.gz...

[freestyler]

arch2xzm is not working. getting error:

Code: Select all

Extracting:

cp: cannot stat '/root/tmp/*': no such file or directory
creating mandelbulber.xzm

I then created /root/tmp directory and tried again and all it did was delete the folder

[stifiling]

wth....i totally haven't seen that one...

what exactly are you getting when you do:

Code: Select all

makexzm mandelbulber

[freestyler]

Code: Select all

root@sensei:~# makexzm mandelbulber
mkdir: cannot create directory '/mnt/home': File exists

edit: Im now getting that message with pcmanfm, which worked fine before

ok, somewhere along the line a symbolic link was created. I deleted the symoblic link /mnt/home and now it works.

no xzm is being created

[stifiling]

i have to fix that broken symlink thing...but the xzm's should create to /mnt/home/modulename.xzm

that's why it failed when /mnt/home was a broken symlink...because the location /mnt/home, is where the 'work' gets done at. /mnt/home is suppose to be a symlink to your 'changes' partition. and if you aren't using a changes folder or file....then the script will make /mnt/home first and do the work there.

[freestyler]

hehehe I was looking in the cache folder. Yup they are there in /mnt/home. Happy days
