Problem Building package (pentium4)

Hello. I am trying to build this > https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/efl-git

Changed i686 to pentium4 in the PKGBUILD and have an updated makepkg.conf.

I get:

error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
:: package efl-git-1.22.99.62220.g00851ea53b-1-pentium4 does not have a valid architecture
:: package efl-git-debug-1.22.99.62220.g00851ea53b-1-pentium4 does not have a valid architecture

Even using i686 everywhere doens't make a difference and i am stuck.

Any ideas??

Re: Problem Building package (pentium4)

I get:

/usr/share/makepkg/buildenv/buildflags.sh: line 28: build_options: readonly variable
/usr/share/makepkg/buildenv/compiler.sh: line 30: build_options: readonly variable
/usr/share/makepkg/buildenv/makeflags.sh: line 28: build_options: readonly variable

then and endless loop in

/usr/share/makepkg/lint_pkgbuild/arch_specific.sh: line 73: exists_function_variable: command not found

bash 5.0.007-1.0

bash-5.0.003-1.2

Same. I don't get that.

Without being able to reproduce it, I can think of /etc/makepkg.conf which should contain:

CARCH="pentium4"

I have CARCH set to pentium4.

Ok found what is causing it. If Architecture is set to Auto in pacman.conf it throws the message. if i set it to pentium4 it installs. pacman bug maybe???

BTW one thing that also broke is the mirrors. the $arch part in the url doesn't work with pentium4 and it doesn't download the db. there is no pentium4 directory on the servers. if you set it to i686 it works.

Re: Problem Building package (pentium4)

Most of the mirrors I've looked at now ship the pentium4 arch folder as well as the i686 folder.  What's the top entry in your mirrorlist, of interest?

Works now. No idea what was going on yesterday.
