you compile and install it using the original method to use PKGBUILD’s from the AUR:
you download the PKGBUILD
you run the command on it: updpkgsums
(because the checksums in the PKGBUILD are not current)
then you build and install the thing with
makepkg -i

Perhaps this is also possible with pamac or another AUR helper.
But I don’t know how.

makepkg will do the job

i have the same issue but i dont undertand what to do?

6

… but did I not literally just describe what to do?

perhaps look up the Arch wiki on makepkg and how to use it?

You can get the PKGBUILD from here:

AUR (en) - qt5-webkit

top right → Package Actions

it’s one of the reasons why the AUR is said to be not supported in Manjaro
because you may have to actually have some insight and knowledge … to effectively use it

Please see:

i just clicked and i see the pckbuild but i dont know how to download it ?

can i copy and make a file using kate?

im reading sorry for the dumb question its my fisrt time using an arch based distro

11

Well, keep reading. The answer is there. :wink:

12

Download Snapshot - the PKGBUILD is in that archive
as well as the patches that are also needed

How did I figure that out?
I tried - and looked …

or just copy paste the text you see when you open the “View PKGBUILD” link

13

RTFW (Read the Friendly Wiki), that’s what it’s there for :wink:

@chesterbelle

Follow the Prerequisites section and…

sudo pacman -Syu --needed base-devel git

Follow the Acquire build files section and…

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/qt5-webkit.git

Then change directory to where the PKGBUILD is and run makepkg to build and install it:

cd qt5-webkit
updpkgsums
makepkg -srcif

Mark qt5-webkit as a dependency:

sudo pacman -D --asdeps qt5-webkit

Then follow the same instructions to build and install genymotion except don’t mark it as a dependency.
