Arch Linux User Repository

@GrayJack, Thanks!

@archery, yeah, for some reason it wasn't working till yesterday, it started to work today, no idea why, but I'll remove the ugly hack asap

Thanks to report that to me

@archery, thanks for the report, on my end it didn't work with staticlib added

Can you tell me what repositories did you try, I tried the jfmt and littleserver till now and both failed

You don't need the "ugly hack". It is working fine with staticlib added. I commented out the patch command in the PKGBUILD and jpm build works fine with the static library.

@subsetpark, do you have your makepkg config set with 'staticlibs' enabled? Otherwise makepkg will remove the static lib file from the package

@subsetpark, this error is weird, does that project have repository so I can try reproduce?

jpm build, on a fresh install, doesn't work in a way that suggests an improper installation.

janet-cells [] ⊕ jpm build

cc: error: /sbin/../lib/libjanet.a: No such file or directory

It seems that under janet-lang 1.9.0-1, the libjanet.a file is not being correctly installed. It's present in the src/build directory before packaging, but doesn't get installed alongside libjanet.so.

Similarly, the jpm show-paths command produces potentially odd results:

binpath:    /sbin
modpath:    /usr/lib/janet
libpath:    /sbin/../lib
headerpath: /usr/include/janet
syspath:    /usr/lib/janet

Note that libpath looks a bit odd compared to the rest.

@GrayJack Thank you for the help, it fixed my setup! I ended up with: export JANET_PATH=~/.local/lib/janet

@lerouxrgd You get that cause you don't have write permission on /usr/lib/janet

If you run with as root or with sudo it will work, although it's recommended to set JANET_MODPATH environment variable for janet in a place you can write into, like ~/.local/lib/janet

$ jpm install joy
