Installing AMC on Arch Linux
Added by Ben French about 9 years ago
I am attempting to install AMC on arch linux. The package builds are no longer available, thus I am compiling from source.
I have installed the prerequsites but I am recieving this error.
fatal error: ppm.h: No such file or directory
I have installed libnetpbm
I assume I need to change the make.conf file to point at Arch linux's netpbm directory?
How can I do this?
thanks in advance

This package was created by Thomas Legrand : see RE: Installing AMC on Arch Linux and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/auto-multiple-choice/.
I'm afraid I don't know how ArchLinux packaging works…

Hello,
I've managed to install amc on archlinux with the help of Alexis, see this topic in french...
https://project.auto-multiple-choice.net/boards/4/topics/7362?r=7365#message-7365
I am now in holidays but when I go home I will try installing amc from scratch and maybe update the aur repository because I've totally forgotten to do it last time !

Thanks Benoit, I'll be waiting. I've been trying to install it from the scratch meanwhile but still could not succeed. I'll keep on trying :)
Thanks again

Hey guys
Sorry but my archlinux pc is broke. So I can't update the repository.
I think I can pull the AUR repository and update directly the current repository.
I know in the archlinux wiki you can find a good page to understand how to create or update a current AUR project.

Hello,
If you can wait 2-3 days, I will work on that and I will update the aur repository (I've never do that but I'm sure archwiki will help me as always !)
Greetings,

Hi,
any news about the AUR package update ?
Is It possible to just paste the PKGBUILD file somewhere (pastebin, gitlab, github, or something else).
I really need to install it.
Thanks
RE: Installing AMC on Arch Linux - Added by Benoit Landrieu about 6 years ago
Hi,
package in aur are up-to-date !

RE: Installing AMC on Arch Linux - Added by Giovanni Giuffrida about 6 years ago
Thanks Benoit... I was able to install it finally!
I'm getting now a Latex error, when I compile my exam in Italian latex format, I need to figure out, but it seems something related to the Italian vowels.
Thanks again

Benoit, thank you very much for this update.
Cheers
RE: Installing AMC on Arch Linux - Added by Aser Ty about 6 years ago
It works but perl-gtk3 should be added as a dependency otherwise it won't start.
Thanks again
RE: Installing AMC on Arch Linux - Added by Benoit Landrieu about 6 years ago
I add perl-gtk3 as dependency.

When reinstalling AMC with yaourt, I got this error message : "missing target : gtk3-perl" (see the opposite order of "gtk3" and "perl" when compared to the package name that is mentioned just above).
Any advice to solve this issue ?

Hello,
Pierre this problem is now solved. I didn't check the name of the package (gtk2-perl and perl-gtk3 !), first time I maintained a package on aur.

Hello,
AMC (1.4.0 rc 1 installed via yaourt) doesn't work anymore since the updgrade of opencv in version 4.0.
Someone experimenting the same problem ?

I will look at this issue and post here if I found a solution.

RE: Installing AMC on Arch Linux - Added by c b almost 6 years ago
Good news but when I try to compile a new bareme.tex, pdflatex complains that ic can't find the file "automultiplechoice.sty" which disappeared since this update :(
Am I missing something ?
RE: Installing AMC on Arch Linux - Added by c b almost 6 years ago
Ok, I went further (workaround by manually copying the file found in an archive in my latex tree).
Now, just after pdflatex compiled my bareme.tex I got the message "Can't locate object method "clear_mep" via package "AMC::DataModule::layout" at /usr/lib/AMC/perl/AMC-meptex.pl line 194.
"
RE: Installing AMC on Arch Linux - Added by Benoit Landrieu almost 6 years ago
ok I have to fix this story of sty...
for the perl error, I will search the error because I have not tested to compile a file with amc...
RE: Installing AMC on Arch Linux - Added by Benoit Landrieu almost 6 years ago
the package is now in community https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/auto-multiple-choice/
RE: Installing AMC on Arch Linux - Added by thibault dupont almost 6 years ago
Hi,
Just to let you know that the package "extra/perl-clone" is not in the dependancy and cause a no compilation during the "update document".

RE: Installing AMC on Arch Linux - Added by c b almost 6 years ago
First I would like to thank you for all this work (and the good news to see an AMC package in community)
So I reinstalled AMC using this package 1.4 from community.
I still get this error :
"Can't locate object method "clear_mep" via package "AMC::DataModule::layout" at /usr/lib/AMC/perl/AMC-meptex.pl line 194."
when I calculate the layouts (after updating the documents without problem).
Maybe it's a problem linked to perl (since I had to try lots of manual CPAN installations with perl modules).
Thanks again for your help :)
RE: Installing AMC on Arch Linux - Added by Alexis Bienvenüe almost 6 years ago
Can you try the following command to see which file is actually loaded as AMC::DataModule::layout
?
perl -MAMC::DataModule::layout -e'print $_ . " => " . $INC{$_} . "\n" for grep { /^AMC/ } keys %INC'
If you have multiple perl
installations, pick up the same as the one at the first line of AMC-gui.pl
.
