# TDE Arch Linux Building and Packaging

This directory contains all the required scripts to build TDE packages for Arch Linux.
Please acquaint yourself with the build scripts and the PKGBUILDs if you also intend to package the builds.

## Building

If building all the build packages, please run `./build_tde.sh all` which will invoke `makepkg` on all of the PKGBUILDs in the `packages` directory.

Refer to `./build_tde.sh -h` for other 
### Building a Single Package
If you have trouble building one of these packages,
please source the environment variables by issuing (from `packages` directory):
```
. ../environment

# Or:

source ../environment

# Run makgepkg after
```
Note that this is only needed for building individual packages as the `built_tde.sh` script sources `environment` automatically

## Packaging Information

When verifying that the packages or the PKGBUILDs are good for packaging for distribution, 
please familarize yourself with Arch Linux provided documentation.

## General Tips

### Keep Your System up to Date

You're using a rolling release distro, please ensure you run `# pacman -Syu` as needed.

### Errors With Java

Arch Linux uses OpenJDK as the provider for compiling Java programs and so should be installed on your system.
If needed, please [change the default java enviroment](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Java#Change_default_Java_environment) to comply with Java requirements.

### Reforming PKGBUILDs

If you feel like a PKGBUILD needs changes, please refer to the Arch Wiki for guidlines.
Also refer to the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/) for PKGBUILDs currently provided for references on how maintainers use them.

### Unbuildable Packages
Here lists the unbuildable packages at the moment. Please help make these packages buildable and submit any pull
requests to fix them. Each package has a Bug entry which includes the build log for reference.

Also refer to [TDE Module Quirks and Known Bugs](https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/How_to_Build_TDE_Core_Modules#Quirks_and_Known_Bugs) if a particular package is currently unbuildable.
