Hi
I used "How to install LCOV on Windows (in MSYS2)[^]"
to install Lcov.
I proceed the steps and I got to "Build and install the package".
I copied the content of PKGBUILD in this url PKGBUILD - aur.git - AUR Package Repositories[^] and paste it into a file and named it as "PKGBUILD". then I put this file into lcov directroy.
when I used makepkg csi in MSYS2, it gave me this :
==> ERROR: PKGBUILD contains CRLF characters and cannot be sourced.
==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting...

what should I do to fix it?

Try using a different editor (it's complaining about the line endings).
