Re: Getting everyone started with Pakfire

I am using Arch Linux.

I already do some building of my bacula client package on my laptop so 
it has the normal build tools installed.

To get autogen.sh to run I had to install intltool

To get configure to run I had to additionally install.

asciidoc, python-py-cpuinfo, python-pykerberos, python-systemd, 
python-tornado and libsolv

After that configure ran without any problems, as did make.

Although make check is in brackets I gave it a go but got 1 pass and 26 
fails. The only pass was for test.py
I ran the make check a second time and then two passed - test.py and 
progressbar.py
Further running of make check didn't change anything.

make install went fine and after that I can run pakfire-builder --help 
and get the help screen.

Regards,
Adolf.

We should also use the time to find any issues that might occur on other distributions than Debian which is what I have been using.
