Help building cuda-9.0 (again)

[Lolix]

@arkansawdave74

Yes, I built gcc6 too.

[user@ltp ~]$ pacman -Q gcc6
gcc6-multilib 6.5.0-1

It’s when I try to build cuda-9.0 and it insists on RE-building gcc6 that I get the issue.

cuda-9.0 explicity depends and gcc6 and gcc6-libs while you have gcc6-multilib installed

@arkansawdave74

when they say to build in a clean chroot, do they mean like to boot a USB installer and chroot into my install and build there?

There is a program that create a temporary chroot to build the pacakge

I am using buildpkg from manjaro-tools-pkg but I have been told yesterday that is deprecated in favour of chrootbuild (from manjaro-chrootbuild)

@arkansawdave74

I have no idea how to build from AUR without an AUR helper

Using git and makepkg/buildpkg (and create an AUR account for getting notifications) is enough for long terms AUR maintainance, might not be convenient for most

@arkansawdave74

removing the part where it builds gcc6

Yeah, you could remove it if you’re not going to build stuff I guess
