@taotieren Did you just take this package over and change it to completely different software?

Build fail, getting the error below. It appears the directory structure is a few levels deeper than expected.

 
'Cloning into 'candle'...
done.
==> Starting prepare()...
error: src/frmmain.cpp: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: candle-git-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
candle-git - exit status 4'

searching for frmmain.cpp from ~/.cache/yay find it:

$ find  -name frmmain.cpp
./candle-git/src/candle/src/candle/frmmain.cpp

Thanks, in the context of curiosity, it might or might not be related to having my builddir in makepkg.conf set to /tmp/makepkg (?).

Thanks @gkatev, still couldn't reproduce your error but $srcdir is indeed the better approach anyway, so I replaced relative paths with it. 👍

Thanks @nobodyinperson, it doesn't seem to work neither with yay nor with clone+makepkg, not sure why the discrepancy. But replacing ../"${pkgname%-git}.desktop" with "$srcdir/${pkgname%-git}.desktop" fixes it for me. (is $srcdir more portable?)

@gkatev, Sorry, I can't reproduce your error, neither on native x86_64 Manjaro, nor on Manjaro ARM, nor in an Arch Linux Docker container. Seems to be an issue with your build environment. Try makepkg in a freshly cloned repo.

Hi, I am receiving the following error when installing this package:

==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Starting package()...
install: cannot stat '../candle.desktop': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
