Dear List Members,
I've been trying to compile pacman for a while now but I can't figure
out how to properly set the libarchive path with the following setup:
- I'm working on a server where I don't have root access
- the $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH are a mess
- an old libarchive is in /usr/lib64/libarchive.so.2
- the current libarchive is in ~/.arch/usr/lib
- I'd like ./configure to pick up the new libarchive
I have tried almost all combinations of the environment variables (used
full paths, ~ for clarity):
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.arch/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LIBS=-L~/.arch/usr/lib
export LDFLAGS=-L~/.arch/usr/lib
export CFLAGS=-I~/.arch/usr/include
export CXXFLAGS=-I~/.arch/usr/include
echo > ChangeLog
echo > ABOUT-NLS
~/.arch/usr/bin/autoreconf --force -B~/.arch/usr/include
./configure
But it still fails with the message:
checking for archive_read_data in -larchive... no
configure: error: libarchive is needed to compile pacman!
I think I somehow need to prepend the personal library path to the paths
searched, but how?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Run ./configure and read its helpful output!
You need something like:
LIBARCHIVE_CFLAGS="-I/opt/libarchive-3.1/include"
LIBARCHIVE_LIBS="-L/opt/libarchive-3.1/lib/ -larchive" ./configure

Thank you for the suggestion, but the LIBARCHIVE_* variables do not seem
to make
a difference.
I might have some thinking error, but I can not find any reference to
LIBARCHIVE_ in
./configure --help or
find . -type f | xargs grep -l "LIBARCHIVE_"
pacman: 4.0.3
libarchive: 3.0.4
