I have two computers both with Manjaro KDE Plasma. I can install Github Desktop on one but not the other. This is the error message I get on the machine that fails to install the package:

Failed to build github-desktop

I tried emptying the build directory but it did not help. Any suggestion what to do next?

Well, I just answered a similar question for one of my AUR packages moments ago, so I’ll just paste the same thing here:

Do a fresh clone of the repo. See the Arch wiki for more info.

Keep in mind, AUR helpers are not officially supported.

Thanks for the guidance. Long story short, I still face the same error.

These are the steps I’ve taken:

❯ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/github-desktop.git

❯ cd ./github-desktop

❯ makepkg -si

If I had not the same package installed on another computer, I would have said that there’s something wrong with it. But since it works on my other computer, I’m at lost why it fails here!?

Well, you have to do a

updpkgsums

https://man.archlinux.org/man/updpkgsums.8.en

inside the directory.

The checksums are correct as of the latest commit, however that is a good recommendation regardless.

I always run updpkgsums && makepkg -od first to update the checksums and extract the source files, the I’ll run makepkg -srif to build and install.

For anyone else who might be facing the same issue (including my future self):

First install updpkgsums:

sudo pacman -Syu pacman-contrib

Then:

updpkgsums && makepkg -od

And finally:

makepkg -srif
