Pantheon DE

Postby oyedac » Tue Apr 05, 2016 9:04 am

Hello everybody,
I should say that im a pretty new arch user and this is my first entry on a forum.
I followed the guide on the archlinux arm website to install arch linux on my sd card to work with my Asus c100.
I then read and followed some arch wiki pages and other internet pages and finally got kde and lxde.
I want to have Pantheon as well.

I have couple questions and I'm just writing them all here. You can just help me with any of them, I'd be grateful.

I searched the internet and followed the arch wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pantheon
I downloaded most of the packages that are listed there, for some of them are not available in the AUR.
Q1- In the internet it says that there's a website (http://pkgbuild.com/~alucryd/) that you can just add some lines to pacman.conf and use this website to install pantheon. I added When I did this pacman gave and error that says something like no database can be found, "pantheon.db" not available


Q2- Do sources need to be written specifically for architectures? I thought what matters for the architecture is the compilation which is done by makepkg? I extracted the tar.gz files that I got from AUR, then cd into them and run makepkg -s. I did this for yaourt and everything worked fine. When I did this for a package about pantheon (cerbere-bzr) I got the following error from makepkg something like: cerbere-bzr is not available for archtitecture=armv7


Q3- Do you think I can compile the packages myself for my computer using Distcc? I don't know how to use distcc. I would love to have a step by step guide or even a prerequisite checklist, it would be very helpful. BTW It took me 20 seconds to build yaourt on the chromebook. If building pantheon would take much more, I have two i7 pcs.

So as you would understand I want to get Pantheon DE on my device.
Thank you.

#1: likely that repo, if it exists, will not have ARMv7 binaries, as Arch Linux proper does not have ARM support.
#2: You have to have the appropriate the architectures array in the PKGBUILD, or use makepkg -A. If you insist on yaourt, follow the instructions.
#3: We have an existing guide.

I tried to do what said here
https://archlinuxarm.org/wiki/Distributed_Compiling
https://archlinuxarm.org/wiki/Distcc_Cross-Compiling

How can i know that it works? I don't see any difference on neither machine(master or client)

I didn't get any error like in this forum case
viewtopic.php?f=59&t=9354&p=48923&hilit=distcc#p48923

I did on the master
makepkg -sAr
and lines scrolled no error. Is this how it is supposed to be?
