aur pacman build maxima-jupyter-git on archlinux / 5.0.7-1-MANJARO

[ng0177]

pacman builds maxima-git w/o problems; however maxima-jupyter-git fails, see attached log - any ideas as to what might go wrong here? http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/maxima-jupyter-git Thanks!

It needs to be updated for some recent changes in Maxima-Jupyter. If I can fix #55 with a revamped install then I'll update the AUR package with that.

Just to give my own two cents on it, there's obviously the issue with the $pkdir on some parts. But, even after editing to fix that, there are errors building the package:

All that needs to be be done is fix the file tree so that the files from src are installed. (But, more directories can be added if need be. )

There probably needs to be a change in the way the package compiles—though how to do that is beyond me.

After changing the PKGBUILD to look like this:

I could install the package just fine. However, running the package, I get

To be honest, lisp programming is outside of the stuff I know. So yeah... I have no idea what is going on.

[robert-dodier]

I don't know anything about Archlinux, so, just looking at the log messages posted above, I see a couple of things. One is that the final message is No such file or directory: 'binary/maxima-5.43.0/maxima-local': 'binary/maxima-5.43.0/maxima-local', which indicates that the attempt to build a Maxima executable (named maxima-local) has failed (and somebody, I'm not sure who, was trying to execute it).

The other thing I see is that farther up it says install: cannot stat 'src/config.lisp': No such file or directory which means that install is looking for src/config.lisp which doesn't exist. Now src/config.lisp doesn't exist in the Maxima Git repo (neither does src/config.lisp.in, so I guess it's not auto-generated), so unless src/config.lisp is generated by some means, that can't work.

I don't know enough about the installation process to know what's going on with those two items. For what it's worth, according to the log messages which were posted, there wasn't a Lisp error. Hope this helps.
