Description:

When trying to makepkg gnuplot 4.4 using latest PKGBUILD, the build fails, because make tries to create /usr/share/texmf, instead of $pkgdir/usr/share/texmf-dist/...

As far as I understand, the variable TEXMFLOCAL in package() is not being recognized. It seems the right one is "texdir", so the correction to PKGBUILD, which worked for me is:

./configure --with-texdir=/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/gnuplot
make texdir=$pkgdir/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/gnuplot

I haven't checked wxgtk terminal or lisp/emacs stuff, though...

Additional info:
* package version(s)
gnuplot 4.4.0
* config and/or log files etc.
PKGBUILD
   PKGBUILD (2.2 KiB)
This task depends upon

Confirmed. In german forum someone successfully build gnuplot with using DESTDIR=$pkgdir in the install step.

IMHO non-texlive-packages should not use /usr/share/texmf-dist, but /usr/share/texmf, but this is discussable.

I'll try the DESTDIR option.

As far as texmf-dist vs texmf goes, I have no personal preference... The reason why I used the former, is only because GP 4.2 used it. I also did some scouting of Debian -unstable/-testing package DB, and they seem to have no TeX-related stuff in their GP debs, although I can be wrong here.

No, DESTDIR=$pkdgir doesn't work. I would like to know what PKGBUILD those guys in german forum used.

It's true that the build completes cleanly, but instead of creating $pkdgir/bin, etc. we now have $pkgdir/$pkgir/bin, etc. BUT the correct $pkgdir/usr/share/texmf/.../gnuplot!

With 4.4.2:
TEXMFLOCAL=$pkgdir/usr/share/texmf-dist still fails with
/bin/mkdir -p "/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/gnuplot"
/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/gnuplot': Permission denied

However, texdir=$pkgdir/usr/share/texmf-dist does work and creates $pkgdir/usr/share/texmf-dist/*.

BTW, in the stock package, there are no LaTeX-related files.
Also, I think that Stefan was right with /usr/share/texmf, because this is the place where other applications, like asymptote, write their stuff. So it should be texdir=$pkgdir/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/gnuplot
