This is my first attempt at using a PKGBUILD file. What I'm attempting
to do is update urlview to version 16. I downloaded the original file:
"urlview_0.9.orig.tar.gz", and the diff file: "urlview_0.9-16.diff". I
have these in a separate dir I created: ~/abs/urlview". Then I copied
over the PKGBUILD script from "/var/abs/extra/network/urlview". Then I
edited the PKGBUILD file. I *think* I have it correct, but one thing
bothers me. In the first line of the "build()" function there is the
"$startdir" variable. My question is, where does build get "$startdir"?
In other words, what is the "$startdir"?
Here's the PKGBUILD file so far:
--------------------------------------------------------------
pkgname=urlview
pkgver=0.9
pkgrel=16
depends=('bash')
pkgdesc="A curses URL parser for text files"
source=(http://ftp.linux.pt/pub/mirrors/debian/pool/main/u/urlview/$pkgname\_$pkgver.orig.tar.gz\
$pkgname\_$pkgrel\-$pkgrel.diff.gz)
url="http://ftp.linux.pt/pub/mirrors/debian/pool/main/u/urlview/";
build() {
cd $startdir/$pkgname-$pkgver.orig
patch -Np1 -i ../urlview\_$pkgver\-$pkgrel.diff
./configure --prefix=/usr
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/etc/urlview $startdir/pkg/usr/man/man1
make || return 1
make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install
install -D -m755 url_handler.sh\
$startdir/pkg/etc/urlview/url_handler.sh
install -D -m644 sample.urlview\
$startdir/pkg/etc/urlview/system.urlview
ln -fs /etc/urlview/url_handler.sh\
$startdir/pkg/usr/bin/url_handler.sh
}
