A repository of some custom PKGBUILDs for Arch Linux.
I prefer to build packages inside a chroot. This is not necessary for most PKGBUILDs that just produce a binary but I would recommend doing so for any package that builds a kernel module. Especially when building a new package or trying out modifications this can be helpful to avoid polluting the host with packages.
- Install devtools:
pacman -S devtools - Create a chroot, we'll name it
root:mkdir $HOME/chroot mkarchchroot $HOME/chroot/root base-devel - Update the chroot before any build:
arch-nspawn $HOME/chroot/root pacman -Syu - Build a package:
cd <dir with PKGBUILD>; makechrootpkg -c -r $HOME/chroot
Though the PKGBUILD files are licensed according to the LICENSE file, some
files included or the package being built might use a different license. Please
refer to the license entry in the PKGBUILD.
