I've been trying to build an APK package for Alpine using a Docker
container and the abuild tool. It gives the following error:

>>> hello: Building shared/hello 0.1.0-r0 (using abuild 3.8.0_rc4-r0) started Mon, 27 Sep 2021 13:44:06 +0000

OK: 280 MiB in 66 packages

My APKBUILD looks like:

pkgname="hello"
pkgver="0.1.0"
pkgrel="0"
pkgdesc="Hello World"
url="https://example.com"
arch="noarch"
license="COPYING"
source="../dst/hello"
depends=""

check() {
    :
}

package() {
    :
}

I have placed the APKBUILD file into it's own folder called "hello",
the "hello" shellscript is located in a separate folder called "dst".

What reason might this be happening?


Thanks,
Jeron Aldaron Lau

You need to copy the shell script to $pkgdir in the package function.  There is nothing being written to $pkgdir so the output is empty, which is what is causing your issue.

Try:

mkdir -p "$pkgdir"/usr/bin
cp "$srcdir"/hello "$pkgdir"/usr/bin/
