Build a LinHES Package¶

Setup¶

• Get the required development tools (gcc, make, fakeroot etc.):
  

  pacman -Sy base-devel
  

• Get the source packages using one of the following:
1. Use your development enviroment and follow the readme.
2. Don't use your development environment and only use git to pull linhes_pkgbuild
3. Visit http://linhes.org/repo/src_packages/
4. Visit http://linhes.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/linhes_pkgbuild/tree/abs
   Currently ABS is not setup for LinHES.

Example¶

• For example, using option 3, you can browse to find the package (lirc in this example) that you want and download and extract it and build it using:
  

  wget http://linhes.org/repo/src_packages/core-testing/lirc-0.8.3-3.src.tar.gz 
  tar xvfz lirc-0.8.3-3.src.tar.gz 
  cd lirc 
  makepkg
  

• This will build a binary package that you can then install using:
  

  pacman -U lirc-0.8.3-3.pkg.tar.gz
  

• Make changes to the package and then build and install it. Once you are satisfied with the package, you can submit the changes via the LinHES Bug Tracker.

Tips¶

• To find out what package a given file belongs to, you can use the command:
  

  pacman -Qo /path/to/the/file
