Hi everyone. I want to add to my ports the balena-etcher application, well I added via deb package, but I want to build it froms source, for that I'm following the AUR package for guide. The problem is that I'm running in a lot of error, building as root or as normal user with fakeroot. Without the error log and Pkgfile you use, it's hard to tell what's wrong :)
Anyone can guide me if it's possible to build the package from source or is better to stick with the .deb package?
It's possible, but packages using npm/electron can be a PITA, in my experience. BTW, there is a tarball with the built etcher in the releases, why not just repackage that? Could be easier, imho. I use the appimage, couldn't be bothered to package it :) Pedja
