I have a simple problem: how to install autofs…
I have found it is on AUR. So I do: yay -S autofs
Thirst error: lex is not found…
→ so I tried to install lex. Bad news, il’s now known as flex. Ok.
Second error: yacc is not found. I’m getting a bit angry…
→ so I tried to install yacc. Bad news, yacc is not found. I tried pacman -Ss yacc and installed byacc then python-ply without success. I’m getting very angry…
It’s for building software and packages, not something everyone does.
Also the AUR isn’t supported by Arch or Manjaro, and it’s up to the sys admin (probably you) to create and maintain the system you want.
It used to be a bit more obvious, base-devel has recently been changed from a group to a metapackage. With a group you can see which packages are members of the group.
