Question

I have tried to do the Offline Installation as described in the ArchLinux wiki, but it did not worked out as i have mentioned in the thread https://stackoverflow.com/posts/comments/12588344. Hence i have planned to compile the pacman in a machine which has internet connection and then download the packages using the compiled pacman binary and then transfer it to offline ArchLinux Machine.

While i tried to compile the pacman in Ubuntu-11.10 machine i got the following errors

$ make # after ./autogen.sh && ./configure
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman'

I have cloned the source from git://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git and tried compiling with the commit e6f72c61a098b52ea29e54b8eb4739a2ff81e6b0 and its parents(until commit ae25167bcd592186749b79ea31b10fb78ed9fb2d) with no success.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Solved as explained in the mailing list http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2012-March/015341.html

Used the git commit e6f72c61a098b52ea29e54b8eb4739a2ff81e6b0in

repo git://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git

1) $ git clean -xfd; ./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \

--enable-git-version --enable-debug --without-gpgme

2) cd lib/libalpm

3) In the Makefile replace line

LIBS = -lssl -larchive -lm

with LIBS = -lssl -larchive -lm -lcrypto

4) cd ../../ && make
