The issue here is that you have already performed a build previously:

fatal: destination path '/home/faugus/ARCHIMAGE/.local/share/junest' already exists and is not an empty directory.

being this an already existing environment, many files needed are already missing and deleted, for example

c/pacman.conf: No such file or directory

needed to made PacMan and YAY working

SOLUTION: create a new directory and run the script into it, or at least, remove all files and directories from /home/faugus/ARCHIMAGE except the script.

NOTE: set your file manager to show hidden files, since ".junest" and ".local" are hidden directories.

• I created a new script faugus-launcher-junest.sh
• Created a new folder /home/faugus/Desktop/newfolder/
• Put the script faugus-launcher-junest.sh into /home/faugus/Desktop/newfolder/
• Ran the script and I'm getting the same problem

Can you share the script here or copy/paste it?

OK, I've found the problem. This is an AUR package and you have not allowed the $BASICSTUFF environment variable, needed to install binutils, gzip and (now) debugedit.

In the meantime I've created the same script using default parameters and tried to compile the app by myself.

The only error I've found is about the icon. It is placed exactly in /usr/share/icons as faugus-launcher.png, not in subdirectories, so this would be the only manual change you should do.

I'll share my script here soon, you can compare yours with my "draft" at https://www.diffchecker.com/3Nn6ZRT3/ (yousr is on the left, mine is on the right).

@ivan-hc

I copied your script, put it in a new folder, ran it, same error:

This is a video about my workflow.

SPOILER: the AppImage is created but it miss a "gi" module, you can solve this by adding such module by listing the package that brings the related module in "$DEPENDENCES" (and maybe also "python")... or by including it in "$LIBSAVED" as a keyword (maybe just "gi"). You may invsticage about that by yourself.

I copied your script, put it in a new folder, ran it, same error

I think you miss some dependences on yous system, maybe imagemagic, tar or something... just read the commands executed in the script to be sure.

@ivan-hc magemagick wasn't installed.
I installed it but the same problem persists.
Once the Junest download reaches 100%, I get the errors.

[ivan-hc]

Is "tar" installed? It seems that the downloaded archive is not extracted.

[Faugus]

Yes.
