Can't use makepkg to build packages

[muzz666]

Fakeroot is not working.
Shows this error:

fakeroot, while creating message channels: Function not implemented
This may be due to a lack of SYSV IPC support.
fakeroot: error while starting the `faked' daemon.

@muzz666 setupTermuxArch.sh now creates system information. Run setupTermuxArch.sh --sysinfo and post this information along with your input and complete output. If you think a screenshot will help us in resolving, include it in your post.

@muzz666, many of android devices have disabled SYSV IPC support. So only custom kernel with SYSV IPC.

Or force disable fakeroot in makepkg scripts

Use useradd username. Then cp -r arch/root/ arch/username. Finally su - username and similar to login as user, not the root account of your Arch Linux in Termux installation.

I'm having this issue - is there any solutions / workarounds ?

@xeffyr can you send an example of successfully using makepkg?

Or force disable fakeroot in makepkg scripts

Accessing libandroid-shmem support is now possibly in TermuxArch, use setupTermuxArch.sh r for quick system refresh; libandroid-shmem support is added with this a250672 commit. The current version of TermuxArch also sets locales from Android on the fly for Arch Linux in Termux PRoot to be in the language you wish!

Variable substitution in TermuxArch resolves sudo. Variable assignment PROOTSTMNTU="${PROOTSTMNT//--link2symlink }" drops --link2symlink from the user login proot statement. The option is necessary for root user to function properly. This change modifies the proot statement for user login with this a0db0f1 commit.

$ startarch l user
[user11:30~]$ sudo whoami

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

[sudo] password for root:
root
[user11:30~]$ whoami
user

setupTermuxArch.sh c addauser user creates a user account. As Arch Linux in Termux PRoot root user, use visudo to grant user permission to use sudo.
