Hello, I'm trying to use the 'makehapkg' script to build Haskell packages, as suggested by Magnus Therning, but I'm having some issues with it. Though it works fine for packages without dependencies other than ghc, like haskell-xdg-basedir (not currently in habs), it fails to install extra dependencies prior to building, e.g.:

$./makeahpkg haskell-data-accessor [...] ==> Making package: haskell-data-accessor 0.2.2.2-1 (Wed Jul 25 12:14:10 UTC 2012) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Installing missing dependencies... sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root? ==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies. ==> ERROR: Build failed, check /home/bexie/my-habs/x86_64-chroot/build/build

As I don't have any kind of experience with chroots I'm quite at a loss here. Am I doing something wrong?

First run `./makeahpkg -h` to familiarise yourself with its options. Then make sure you have `sudo` and `devtools` installed (those are the only required packages I can remember off the top of my head).

I already had 'sudo' and 'devtools' installed and read the output of './makehapkg -h', but that really didn't help in this case.

Then I don't know what the problem is exactly. What does the build log file say? (/home/bexie/my-habs/x86_64-chroot/build/build) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
