JWM Kit Linux Files

Building Your own Arch package

Hyperbola specific Instructions and build files can be found here.

Target Systems is Arch and . . .

• Manjaro
• EndeavourOS
• Many other Arch based Distros
• NOT for Hyperbola. See the top of this page.

General Info

• Version : 20240327 (March 27, 2024)
• All architecture (32bit/64bit)
• Clean up : The .zst (or .lz) package is the only file you need to keep after the build is complete. It is safe to delete the remaining files and directories created in the build directory.
• If you wish to build again, It is good to "clean" your build directory
• You can keep the file .tar.gz to prevent repeat downloads on addition builds
• If you wish to build 2 times in the same day you will need to delete or move the previous built package from the build directory.

Build Dependencies

Building a package from a PKGBUILD requires base-devel. If the build process fails you may need to install the packages. install with a graphical package manager or with the folllowing command as root (or with sudo/doas/etc)

pacman -Sy base-devel

Instructions

• Place the file PKGBUILD in a clean directory
• Run the build command from that directory (commands below)
• You will find the package in your build directory. Usually with a .pkg.tar.lz (or pkg.tar.zst) extention

Build Command:

makepkg PKGBUILD

Build and install command:

makepkg -i PKGBUILD

No Internet Build Option

• Same as above but with the .tar.gz source file in the build folder.

Required to build:

• A running Arch system or derivative (a virtual machine is fine)
• base-devel package installed (see "Build Dependencies" above)
• A working internet connection is recommended
