made a gdevelop-git PKGBUILD for arch/manjaro linux users

Misc (Admin Only) Development

It fetches the latest master build straight from github and makes a package out of it, which it installs. I altered victor’s script to do that. :slight_smile:

here is the pkgbuild:

[code]# Maintainer: Victor Levasseur victorlevasseur52@gmail.com

Altered by Todor Imreorov for github blurymind@gmail.com

pkgname=gdevelop-git
pkgver=master
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc=“GDevelop is a full featured, open source game development software, allowing to create HTML5 and native games without needing any knowledge in a specific programming language. All the game logic is made thanks to an intuitive and powerful event based system.”
arch=(‘i686’ ‘x86_64’)
url=“http://www.compilgames.net”
license=(‘GPL’ ‘MIT’ ‘zlib/png’)

install=‘GD.install’
makedepends=(‘rsync’ ‘cmake’ ‘git’ ‘curl’)
depends=(‘gcc’ ‘wxgtk’ ‘openal’ ‘p7zip’ ‘glew’ ‘libsndfile’ ‘systemd’ ‘libjpeg-turbo’ ‘desktop-file-utils’ ‘gtk-update-icon-cache’)
#changelog=‘PKGBUILD.changelog’
source=(‘git+https://github.com/4ian/GD.git’)
md5sums=(SKIP)

pkgver() {
cd “$srcdir/GD”
ver=$(git describe --abbrev=0 | sed -e ‘s/[^.0-9]//g’)
count=$(git rev-list --count HEAD)
commit=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)
echo $ver.r$count.$commit
}

build() {
cd “$srcdir”/GD
cd Binaries
rm -rf .build
mkdir .build
cd .build
cmake …/…

#Build the whole project
make -j4
}

package() {
cd “$srcdir”/GD
cd Binaries/.build
make install DESTDIR="$pkgdir"
#Remove sfml installed libs
rm -rf “$pkgdir”/usr/local
}
[/code]

and here is the GD.install file:

[code]post_install() {
update-mime-database usr/share/mime
update-desktop-database
gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f usr/share/icons/hicolor
}

post_upgrade() {
update-mime-database usr/share/mime
update-desktop-database
gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f usr/share/icons/hicolor
}

post_remove() {
update-mime-database usr/share/mime
update-desktop-database
gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f usr/share/icons/hicolor
}
[/code]

Please give it a test, see if there are any mistakes. It works alright for me.

changed the build script slightly - to make a package with a better name. This one needs to be tested though. Also where at github is the release text file log? Maybe we can hook that into the PKGBUILD.changelog file

Here is a build script for AUR:

aur.archlinux.org/packages/gdevelop-git/

Had to shorten the description slightly in order to get it approved. :unamused:

If you are on Arch or manjaro or other arch based distro, type this in terminal

yaourt gdevelop-git

And it should get listed there. Cheers! :mrgreen:

Btw it needs testing, did I mention. I am waiting on victor and 4ian to commit fixes to some of my bug reports before building a new git version with the script again.

I need to reupload the script, it got deleted in the transition to a new AUR system.

I made a few updates to it

Cool :smiley: Thanks for maintaining the script :slight_smile:
