https://bbs.archlinux.org – No offense, but that's horrible.Let's have some Arch-like simplicity here:Depend on gvim, because that's the official package. Put some explanatory comments in the PKGBUILD about vim-inteprete, advising users of that package to edit the vim-slimv PKGBUILD as required. tomk https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=1822 2012-05-14T15:51:11Z (HowTos)

AUR - add application.desktop 34 weeks 5 days ago

Your install command is failing - the error message tells you exactly what's wrong, and the solution is in the slic3r PKGBUILD that you used for inspiration.I would, however, suggest a thorough examination of the install man page, as there is a better way to do it.

No offense, but yawn. Nothing new here, if you had bothered to search you would have found numerous similar threads to which you could have contributed, instead of starting a pompous first-person rant.You want to influence Arch's development? Don't whine, contribute.

Try csound-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=48830 but see the comments - problems again.You can see how to deal with git in the PKGBUILD.Another way is to instal binary package from an unofficial user repository.

Aur is known to have trouble with split pacakges, and it looks like you have not followed exactly the workaround splittest example pkgbuild that works.compare your pkgbase , pkgname and true && pkgname lines with those in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sp/s … t/PKGBUILD .
