A clean chroot build is preferred when there are package dependencies during aur package installation. This article should allow us to perform one such clean chroot build using the guided aur package called clean chroot manager(ccm).

Install CCM

yay -S clean-chroot-manager

Setup base config for chroot

  • Run the sudo ccm64 c command to generate a default clean-chroot-manager.conf

  • Create a chroot path running mkdir ~/chroot

  • Edit this file and update the CHROOTPATH64="/home/karthick-k/chroot" to a valid path

nano ~/.config/clean-chroot-manager.conf

Build a new aur package from chroot

  • We could use any package source from aur. I’m using teams for linux in this case
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/teams-for-linux.git
  • Change directory to PKGBUILD folder of the aur package
$ cd teams-for-linux; ls -l

  • Build the package
sudo ccm64 s
  • List the package that are built
$ sudo ccm64 l

Install the package

sudo pacman -U teams-for-linux-1.0.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
