Seafile-Client Build fails

Support AUR

Since several version I can not update the seafile-client. I receive the following error:

    Preparing...

Anything I can do to fix that?

Thanks

Install the base-devel package group, which contains patch and other build tools.

sudo pacman -S base-devel --needed

On a closer look, it looks like the PKGBUILD mentions a patch file you don’t have.

I just built it on my machine. try cleaning the pamac cache folder:
sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/pamac-build-ralph/seafile-client and try again.

Thanks for your help… but it did not resolve my problem.

base-devel is already installed.
And after deleting the cache folder --> same issue

Have you tried to manually build this?

Hi merlock,

that fixed the issue. Manually building worked without problems. I’m curious if the next update will work with pamac again…

Thanks a lot
