the below command on Manjaro 21.7 and Manjaro 20.2 is failing.
sudo pacman -S make
Welcome.
How is the command failing? Is your system up to date?
Please post the exact error message.
Did you try installing with a full upgrade:
$ sudo pacman -Syu make
Hi @kavinsivak, and welcome!
Try pamac. I just did, and it was there. It’s in the core repositories:
$ pamac search make
[...]
make [Installed] 4.3-3 core
GNU make utility to maintain groups of programs
So it should be easily installable using:
pamac install make
Hope this helps!
Edit:
Just found out that make is part of the base-devel group:
$ pamac list -g base-devel -q
autoconf
automake
binutils
bison
fakeroot
file
findutils
flex
gawk
gcc
gettext
grep
groff
gzip
libtool
m4
make
pacman
patch
pkgconf
sed
sudo
texinfo
which
And since base-devel is in the AUR:
$ pamac search base-devel
[...]
base-devel-meta 2021.08.07-1 AUR
Metapackage for all the base-devel group.
It can be quite easily installed with:
pamac build base-devel-meta
Hope even more this helps!
Will make no difference. It uses the same mirrors pacman does, with the exception of AUR integration.
what? No it isnt …its a package group - everything in the repos.
pacman -Sg base-devel
https://archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/base-devel/
And as with all groups … you can just install it
sudo pacman -Syu base-devel
But OP just wanted make and should be able to simply install that.
If not … then there is something wrong, such as their mirrors are not sorted or they have not updated/synced, etc.
