AUR Install with Pamac fails on Manjaro

[Ragebone]

Hi, i was failing to install corefreq from the AUR in Pamac UI with the error-message.

target not found: corefreq

I got this message even when attempting to build all 3, 2 or only 1 of the needed packages and independent of the package itself. Until i suddenly didn't get this error anymore.

On a previous attempt on a different Manjaro Installation, i had this issue as well. Here, installing the client and with that all 3 as dependencies automatically, caused the same error. But manually installing the dkms, then the service, then the client, worked in that case. That did not work in this instance. I wasn't even able to edit the build-files. Trying that caused the same error and abort.

The only thing i did differently before it worked is i chose just the dkms package to build, then looked and clicked into the displayed build-file. and then it just build.

Any ideas whats going on here? I have none.

Hello

Adding @inglor in the loop for any help. To my knowledge the AUR packages target the vanilla ArchLinux.

dkms may have solved the issue because the kernel development dependencies are properly installed by dkms

Linux headers, gcc, make and glibc are the main prerequisites to build CoreFreq

pacman -Q linux-headers gcc make glibc

linux-headers 5.16.10.arch1-1
gcc 11.2.0-3
make 4.3-3
glibc 2.35-2

and dkms is pulling most of them but optionally the Headers

pacman -Si dkms

Repository      : extra
Name            : dkms
Version         : 3.0.3-1
Description     : Dynamic Kernel Modules System
Architecture    : any
URL             : https://github.com/dell/dkms
Licenses        : GPL2
Groups          : None
Provides        : None
Depends On      : coreutils  bash  gawk  sed  kmod  gcc  make  patch
Optional Deps   : linux-headers: build modules against the Arch kernel

I would bet the Manjaro Linux Headers were in trouble ?

It will be helpful if you post the link to the Manjaro's CoreFreq setup.

Correct. The only supported build of AUR packages is Building_in_a_clean_chroot. I think you might have better luck trying pamac's support channels (which I don't know).

Thanks @inglor for your answer.

@Ragebone : feel free however to request pamac team to join to this thread. Will provide any help to improve the Manjaro package of CoreFreq

I just tried it on my own WS and was unable to get it to build.

clicking on edit buildfiles results in this error.

Just choosing corefreq-dkms fails the same way, until it suddenly doesn't. And from there, it builds fine. I have no idea why.

I can say from experience that the missing kernel headers aren't the specific issue here. Even though they are missing and it doesn't manage to build the Module, pamac thinks everything was successful.

@Ragebone Hi

What are those MISSING coming from ? Files mentioned on Error lines are not part of my program. Why do they appear as some kind of dependencies!

What about installing CoreFreq the ArchLinux way ? You could just grab the CoreFreq PKGBUILD from AUR and do makepkg -si

EDIT: btw, have you notice that master version of CoreFreq is 1.89.4 Something is odd with Manjaro or out of sync.

[Ragebone]

I think those missing error messages are caused by the missing kernel headers. But i'm not sure what is responsible for the print.

Looking at the buildfile, they aren't a declared dependency. And about the version of the packages, there are two groups of packages. The installed non git labeled as 1.89.4-2 where as the -git packages are declared 1.88.1r2... . So i specifically picked the non git because of that.

@Ragebone have you read the wiki for DKMS here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support ?

Why don't you give up with that GUI installer ?

Just do a plain AUR install from a terminal and enjoy CoreFreq

@Ragebone : here some Manjaro Users are attempting CoreFreq with one of this shiny new Alder Lake Mobile processors: i9-12900H Could you ask them to join this issue for testings ? I need such hardware to mprove code.

Alder Lake done
