Hi there!
First of all, I have to say that this is my first post in this fórum 
Regarding my question, I have created a new program for Haiku, a native Chip-8 emulator (https://github.com/cnelmortimer/Pin8). Hence, I want to include it in the official package list as a recipe for Haikuporter. I have cloned both Haikuporter and HaikuPorts to do some testing but I am not even able to build existing recipes 
This is the error I get:
In fact, I saw the same type of error with the recipe I created for my program, Pin8, and I decided to try with any existing one such as “BeVexed”. I just wanted to publicly share the program in a convenient way for users, i.e., in the package list, but I am not able to do it
Thank you in advance for your help. I apologize if this question sounds “stupid” but even though I have used BeOS, Zeta and Haiku for years, I have no experience with HaikuPorter…
Kind regards.
PS: I do not even know if you are interested in including it. If you are not, feel free to let me know that. I just wanted to develop an App that I had not seen before in Haiku with C++ and get into the BeOS/Haiku API… Thus, this is my first Haiku program in C++ and it might not be as good / well-written as you want.
Make sure the haiku_devel package is installed:
pkgman install haiku_devel
If that’s ok, check carefully that you have created an haikuports.conf for haikuporter and configured it with the right architectures.
Hi @PulkoMandy,
Thank you for your answer! The package haiku_devel is installed and the haikuports.conf exists. However, I had forgotten to define my architecture in that configuration file and, after doing so, I have been able to run the recipe for BeVexed. Thus, I have advanced some steps thank to your help. Unfortunately, my recipe is still not working (in a different way, though):
That message is shown in a kind of loop until I just cancel the procedure. Besides, it is important to mention that I had to remove this “build requirement” before getting to that point: “cmd: mimeset”. Haikuporter said that build requires “mimeset” could not be resolved but that tool is already in my system.
By the way, “haiku_devel” is the set of sources and libraries conforming the Haiku API (for -lbe, -ltracker…), isn’t it?
Thank you very much for your time and help. Kind regards.
Uppercase letters are not allowed in recipe names. Try renaming it to pin8 instead.
For cmd:mimeset, we probably forgot to declare it in the haiku package.
And yes, haiku_devel is all the headers for the Haiku API. The libraries are in the main haiku package, but there are symlinks in haiku_devel to allow linking to them.
Hi again @PulkoMandy,
Renaming it to lowercase worked (it was my fault as it is commented in the guidelines for recipes ). However, the procedure is still failing:
Kind regards.
You have to define the SOURCE_DIR variable in your recipe.
Check, what’s the name of the top-level folder in your tar.gz, and add it like:
SOURCE_DIR=“name_of_the_top_level_folder_in_the_original_archive”
So haikuporter knows, where it should search for the sources.
You should add it after “CHECKSUM_SHA256”.
Hi @extrowerk
It worked! Thank you very much, @PulkoMandy and @extrowerk for your help. As the HPKG file can be build and installed, it should be posible for me to do these final steps: https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/wiki/DevelopmentModel
Kind regards.
Hi again,
I have already created the pull request, but Travis CI failed… This is the error shown in the Travis CI log:
I am really sorry for causing so many problems
Kind regards.
I commented on your PR.
You’ve closed it unfortunately already… 
Besides what I commented there, there are whitespaces at the line end in the “make” line and “addAppDeskbarSymlink” line. ETA: and a tab before BUILD()
Also, in the SUMMARY, its only “Haiku”, not “Haiku OS”. I’d even not mention “Haiku” at all. All software in HaikuDepot is for Haiku
Oh, and welcome! 
Hi @humdinger,
I thibk I have done what you required and the Travis CI gave me Green light!
Kind regards.
