hello everyone,
i’am an arch beginner. i used to work with debian and its package management before.
now i’ve got the problem to install an epson printer driver for my ET-4750.
befor you say anything: i know! printers a living species to bother our lives and helps only, when they decide to do so.
but i want to know, how i can installing the package epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2.
i’ve tried with ‘sudo pacman -S epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2’. but pacman says it can’t find such package.
then i followed a description to build a package:
‘git clone ht://aur.archlinux.org/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2.git’
‘cd epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2’
‘makepkg -si’
and here i’ve got the error: pathto/PKGBUILD: Line 21: patch: command not found (occure an error in prepare())
why is that? i don’t understand why this is not working. what i need to do? and why i can’t install it with ‘sudo pacman -S epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2’?
i remember, in debian i need a package before i was able to do such things thats called “build-essential”. is there something like that in arch? miss i something?
i’am happy for any help! thanks!
