Installing AUR packages without arch specific programs (makepkg, pacman, yay, etc)
Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to install AUR packages without using arch specific programs such as makepkg and instead using something like make. Is this possible?
The Dependencies are: you'll have to build or install these first.
Code:
depends=('libmtp' 'fuse' 'gcc-libs')
And it builds with autoconf, so that is a depend also. Otherwise you are going to have to create a Makefile for make.
Code:
#make a temp build dir
mkdir ~/simp
#untar
tar -xf smtp.040.tar.gz -C ~/simp/
#change in to build dir
cd ~/simp/simple-mtpfs-0.4.0
#Set it up
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
#compile
make
If you did not get any compiler errors, for a missing depend, or ...
Code:
~/simp/simple-mtpfs-0.4.0/src/simple-mtpfs -h
usage: simple-mtpfs <source> mountpoint [options]
general options:
-o opt,[opt...] mount options
-h --help print help
-V --version print version
simple-mtpfs options:
-v --verbose verbose output, implies -f
-l --list-devices print available devices. Supports <source> option
--device select a device number to mount
-o enable-move enable the move operations
FUSE options:
-d -o debug enable debug output (implies -f)
-f foreground operation
-s disable multi-threaded operation
-o allow_other allow access to other users
-o allow_root allow access to root
-o auto_unmount auto unmount on process termination
-o nonempty allow mounts over non-empty file/dir
-o default_permissions enable permission checking by kernel
