I am running ubuntu 12.04 64 bit.
I need "makepkg", I have tried to run:
sudo apt-get -f install pacman,
but it had not installed makepkg.
In which package can I find it?
Wha!! Ubuntus package manager is dpkg and apt-get: pacman is the Arch package manager, and Makepkg is a Slackware tool.
I hate to answer a question with a question, but i think you may be attempting to do something, and taking the wrong road. Mind telling us what your trying to accomplish by installing pacman and makepkg?
I am trying to install friBID, a program for handling "Bank ID" in Sweden.
I shall build the application with the script fribid.SlackBuild,
the script ends with /sbin/makepkg.
What are you still stuffing around with making the package for. You aren't running Slackware, so you don't need to use the slackbuild. You need the .deb files which are automatically installed when you follow the instructions we've given you above.
Hey bdaulsa, i'm getting the impression i've offended you. Please don't be, i try to write my posts straight to the point so i don't fill them up with irrelevant details. This approach can some times come off as aggressive, but i assure you, it's not of any sought, i'm just trying to help. Sorry if you took offense.
