For me this failed to build with the following output:

I tried the suggested patches with the latest 4.5.0.2006 but it crashed Launching Session with console output; " stack smashing detected : terminated". Any updated workarounds any of you can share?

thanks @krozmok, worked fine with focal-- wondering what do those @@ mean?

I was struggling with makepkg -si

What I did to solve this is to update the download link from bionic to focal

Since my last comment about pcoip-client, there are pcoip-client and pcoip-client-clipboard packages in the AUR. AWS works with these packages, no need to install the package from github.

"I can't get the latest release of Workspaces to run at all on my machine, hence the delay in updating the package."

In my experience the client runs and even gets to "Launching Workspace" but then fails with "Unable to Connect".

The tip from @nagyesz worked for me (thanks @nagyesz) .

However, after running the PKGBUILD from https://github.com/ppira/pcoip-client/ and getting a 404 I realised I needed to edit the PKGBUILD's 'pkgver' variable with the latest version number of the pcoip client (22.09.2 at the time of this writing) and replace the first sha256sum with 'SKIP' :-/

After this the pcoip-client built and installed successfully.

You can find the latest version number at https://docs.teradici.com/find/product/hp-anyware

Thanks for the essential tips @hicklemon. And of course to @stilvoid for maintaining this vital package !

Ah, great info thank you nagyesz and DooDleWilk. I'll investigate soon.

"I can't get the latest release of Workspaces to run at all on my machine, hence the delay in updating the package."

After installing https://github.com/ppira/pcoip-client/, it works for me. Maybe this information helps clarifying what is missing.
