8.48.1. Installation of Gperf

Create the PKGBUILD for the Gperf package with the following commands:

mkdir /sources/gperf
cd /sources/gperf
cat > PKGBUILD << "REALEOF"
# Maintainer: Linux From Scratch <lfs-dev@lists.linuxfromscratch.org>

pkgname="gperf"
pkgver="3.1"
pkgrel="1"
pkgdesc="Gperf generates a perfect hash function from a key set."
arch=('x86'
      'x86_64')

license=('GPLv3')
groups=('core')
depends=('gcc'
         'glibc'
         'rootfs')
makedepends=('bash'
             'binutils'
             'coreutils'
             'make')

build(){
  cd ${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --docdir=/usr/share/doc/gperf-${pkgver}
  make
}

check(){
  cd ${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  # The tests are known to fail if j>1
  make -j1 check
}

package(){
  cd ${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install
}

Prepare the build directory for the pacman user and build the package:

chown -R root:pacman .
chmod 2775 .
chmod 664 PKGBUILD
su pacman -c 'makepkg -L --nodeps'

Add the newly created package to the central package repository:

cp gperf-3.1-1-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz \
   /srv/pacman/repos/LFS/
repo-add /srv/pacman/repos/LFS/LFS.db.tar.xz \
         /srv/pacman/repos/LFS/gperf-3.1-1-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz

Update the local cache and install the Gperf package:

pacman -Syu
pacman -S gperf --overwrite \* -dd --noconfirm

Finally, copy the source files into the source repository and clean up the build directory:

mkdir /srv/pacman/source/LFS/gperf
cp PKGBUILD /srv/pacman/source/LFS/gperf
cd /sources
rm -rf gperf
