Install fails on Archlinux. #59

Closed fennecdjay closed 6 years ago

fennecdjay commented 7 years ago

I can't build from git either. Both complain about snudown/src/markdown.h, needed from snudown.

Clone https://github.com/samdroid-apps/snudown in src/something-for-reddit/src/snudow and checkout the branch something-for-reddit

Also the package needs to depend on python2-setuptools and gperf but doesn't, you'll need to install them before building.

Quick patch, in src/Makefile.am, change line 46 to point to your pkgdir instead of pointing to the system libdir (there's probably a better solution, but I am too lazy to find it):

install snudown.so /home/charles/tmp/something-for-reddit-git/pkg/something-for-reddit-git/usr/lib/snudown.so

Run makepkg -si Install should succeed, but then crashes on my machine:

^_^[Charles Milette@Humble Huckleberry ~/tmp/something-for-reddit-git/src/something-for-reddit]$ reddit-is-gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/reddit-is-gtk", line 12, in <module>
    import redditisgtk.main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'redditisgtk'

Launching the something-for-reddit binary works, however.

I've gone back to using the python based version. I'm planning to do a bugfix release of that codebase soon. Therefore, the snudown issues should no longer be there.

Could you check if this still causes issues on Arch @sylveon or @fennecdjay?

Cheers!

I hadn't test for a while, but it install flawlessly now, without the snudown problem.
