The directory containing all PKGBUILDs for BOX86

FAQ

1. How to use it?

Just download the PKGBUILD-<your-platform> (no need to download the whole repository), go to directory where you downloaded and type:

mv ./PKGBUILD-<your-platform> ./PKGBUILD
cd ..
makepkg -si

This will copy the PKGBUILD for your platform (where you type your platform name instead of <your-platform>), build it and install the PKGBUILD on 32-bit Archlinux ARM.

In the future, I might try to do an unified PKGBUILD for all platforms that will recognize your platform automatically.

2. What platforms are currently supported.

All specified in COMPILE.md.

3. Any advantages with that sollution?

This might give you some advantages like those:

  • automatic updates (with some AUR frontends like pamac-aur or yay);
  • easily uninstall with pacman -R when no needed (no need other scripts nor Makefile to do this);
  • your box86 installation is recognized as a package (where it wasn't when installing with make install).

Note: You can use makedeb (or) pkgbuild2spec to compile box86 to .deb or .rpm installer files.
