Tx16wx-bin checksums failing

Support AUR
1

Good morning, I am trying to install the TX16WX sampler on Manjaro Linux from the AUR using octopi . I am getting the following error :

=> Making package: tx16wx-bin 3.7.0r7685.1421-1 (Fri 27 Mar 2026 08:02:21 GMT)

→ error making: tx16wx-bin-exit status 1

tx16wx-bin - exit status 1
PAKtC

As an aside, the program’s author was a little irate when I posted on the KVR forum asking for support; he is claiming that he does not authorise the AUR version and is breaching the license

Many thanks

Why not instead install tx16wx-bin with pamac?

pamac build tx16wx-bin

Haha ok, that’s what’s in the code…

Error: Failed to build tx16wx-bin

You could take a gamble:

pamac build tx16wx-bin --skip-checksum

Or:

pamac build tx16wx-bin --download-only

cd ~/.cache/pamac/tx16wx-bin

makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD

build and install:

makepkg -si

Hello Ben . Thank you for your prompt reply ! Both the --skip-checksum and --download-only give me

Build packages from AUR and install them with their dependencies

If no package name is given, use the PKGBUILD file in the current directory
The build directory will be the parent directory, --builddir option will be ignored
and --no-clone option will be enforced

pamac build [options] [package(s)]

options:
–builddir : build directory, if no directory is given the one
specified in pamac.conf file is used
–keep, -k : keep built packages in cache after installation
–no-keep : do not keep built packages in cache after installation
–dry-run, -d : only print what would be done but do not run the
transaction
–no-clone : do not clone build files from AUR, only use local files
–no-confirm : bypass any and all confirmation messages

When I try to cd ~/.cache/pamac/tx16wx-bin

I get

bash: cd: /home/alastair/.cache/pamac/tx16wx-bin: No such file or directory

When I try to cd in single steps, I only get as far as .cache

many thanks

Alastair

Pkgbuild is a recipe, and that is a bad recipe, since it points to some redirection url instead of a real file. It might or might not work. Try to download the source manually and then create a custom pkgbuild as advised above (unfortunately seems cache is empty, so you will have to figure it out yourself.

P.s. it seems the .deb is there if you put the whole url in a browser

If the sha256sum is edited in AUR PKGBUILD to:

package passes validation and should build successfully

Thank you for your contribution. I will have a look at this soon

Good afternoon. I am marking this as solved. I am probably going to buy tal sampler:

The author of TX16w apparently does not want to have his software repackaged . Thank you to all of the contributors. I am now able to install packages from the AUR using the terminal :slight_smile:

There are many other samplers available from Manjaro repositories and AUR
