Not entirely sure why the AUR package is looking in bin.
Anyways, the solution is the first comment in the AUR comments

[ReperakDev]

I see what's going on here. 8ff0df7 removed the bin/ directory and the aur package wasn't updated.

Edit: why was that commit even merged? It kinda ruined a lot of things.

[pipka4]

So I just have to wait for the update?

[er888kh]

So I just have to wait for the update?

You can just change line 31 in PKGBUILD from:
install -D bin/activate-linux "$pkgdir/usr/bin/activate-linux"
to:
install -D activate-linux "$pkgdir/usr/bin/activate-linux"
(the bin/activate-linux part was changed to activate-linux)
I tried it and it worked fine

[Ruby-Dragon]

We can try to contact the maintainer of the AUR package

good workaround for it is to use good old make till it get fixed

It didn't work.
activate-linux-git PKGBUILD install -D activate-linux "$pkgdir/usr/bin/activate-linux"

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

@pipka4 they did not change aur (I think)

you can download PKGBUILD itself and edit it #82 (comment) but I was so lazy and used make

[MrGlockenspiel]

Yeah it hasn't been updated yet
For now I recommend just building from source

[Ruby-Dragon]

@MrGlockenspiel do we have a way of contacting the maintainer of the AUR package?

[MrGlockenspiel]

I can email them rq

[pipka4]

Can I use the make command?

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

Can I use the make command?

You literally an arch user. I can't help myself but say it. RTFM -- https://github.com/MrGlockenspiel/activate-linux#building and https://github.com/MrGlockenspiel/activate-linux#other

That's the way it is. I have been using Linux for two weeks. But still, the commands in the post from the developer didn't help me.

make install 2 ✘
make: *** No rule to build target "install". Stop.
~/downloads/activate-linux-git make 2 ✘
make: *** No targets set and no make file found. Stop.
~/downloads/activate-linux-git

[ReperakDev]

Obvious troll is obvious.

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

you first run make then make install....

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

you BUILD then INSTALL

not install. wtf...

---

I'm not saying newbie is bad but at least let me know you are new. You first run make to build the app then run make install to install

[xfnw]

you BUILD then INSTALL

you do not actually need to, the Makefile rule for install ensures the binary is already built, making it unnecessary to make before make install

@pipka4 was trying to run make on the aur package's repo, which did not work because it does not include a Makefile, instead of the actual source git repository

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

oh I did not notice it was aur lol

[Ruby-Dragon]

The aur still needs to be updated. We have no control over the package at the moment. I think its a bit too early to orphan it

[wuyudi]

paru -S activate-linux-git --fm=vim

then modify the PKGBUILD, remove the bin, as the comment in aur

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/activate-linux-git

then it will done.

[EsmailELBoBDev2]

Did you mean: yay -S activate-linux-git --editor nano --answeredit a?

You paru/vim users....

[MrGlockenspiel]

the package has been fixed so its all good now
