@ -10,6 +10,26 @@ works for me. It always builds in a CHROOT, and it lets the user check the
|
|||
PKGBUILD (by default) prior to building. There is no automatic dependency

management. That must be done in the config. An example config is provided.

# Things to know before using the helper
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes if a package prompts a user to select between alternate package
|
||||
dependencies, makechrootpkg will fail to select one by default (it will
|
||||
constantly output "y" to stdin when a selection requires an integer). This means
|
||||
you will need to check the logs as it is building a package to make sure this
|
||||
kind of soft-lock doesn't happen. Use `tail -f LOG_FILE.log` for example. If
|
||||
such a soft-lock happens, Ctrl-C the helper, and explicitly set a dependency in
|
||||
the TOML config file in a "other\_deps" array for the package like so:
|
||||
|
||||
[[entry]]
|
||||
name = "sway-git"
|
||||
aur_deps = [
|
||||
"wlroots-git",
|
||||
"swaybg-git"
|
||||
]
|
||||
other_deps = [
|
||||
"mesa"

]
