archlinux: wrong path for shared files

[bits-fritz]

refuses to start without manual intervention. After building the package from the aur (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/timeit-git/) timeit refuses to start. Everything is installed in /usr/local/ but shared files are searched in /usr/share/ instead of /usr/local/share. Softlinking /usr/local/share/timeit at /usr/share/ fixes the issue.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/timeit-git/ and building in arch is not maintained by me. A report to their bug tracker might be appropriate.

That said I will try to help you build it: If you build and install the latest version from https://github.com/Hoglet/TimeIT does the problem persist?

[bits-fritz]

Yes, exactly the same issue. Everything is installed in /usr/local/ but strace complains about some files missing in /usr/share/timeit. Example: openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/timeit/icon.svg", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden) Tell me what You need to proceed.

P.S.: once upon a time export LANG=C made shell answering english - looong time ago. :-((

[Hoglet]

I can not see anything wrong in the sources and making and install on centos in /usr/local is working.

When I get time I will install an arch linux in virtualbox and see if I can figure out what has gone wrong.

I am reproducing the fault in Devuan.

If problem persists in the aur then maybe @tuxflo is able to help. If there still is a problem with building from github source then either reopen this or make a new issue.

Hi! I haven't used TimeIT for a while now but I'm trying to fix the build. For some reason I'm unable to debug the PKGBUILD because CMake is missing libgmock. Was this added recently? Do you know which arch package provides the necessary files? I thought it was gtest but it isn't.

[bits-fritz]

For what it is worth: makepkg builds fine with the recent PKGBUILD. Installing the application and starting also fine. To get the recent pkgver I had to add

pkgver() {
  cd "${srcdir}/timeit"
  git describe --tag | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}

The regex is c&p ;o))

[Hoglet]

I have changed to google-test for unit testing. Unit test are also in their own binary.

libgmock is not installed in my environment as far as I can tell.

PKGBUILD is something I do not know anything about.
