It builds fine for me, but I am getting this error on runtime

activate-linux: error while loading shared libraries: libconfig.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I do have libconfig installed from the extra repository

The .desktop file breaks kbuildsycoca6:

> XDG_MENU_PREFIX=arch- kbuildsycoca6
kbuildsycoca6 running...
kf.config.core: KConfigIni: In file /usr/share/applications/activate-linux.desktop, line 5: Invalid escape sequence: «\"»
kf.config.core: KConfigIni: In file /usr/share/applications/activate-linux.desktop, line 5: Invalid escape sequence: «\"»

Can you remove the \ please?

This package fails to build, because xorg-xrandr is missing as dependency (dunno if it should be make or regular dep):

Package xrandr was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xrandr.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'xrandr', required by 'virtual:world', not found
  CC     activate_linux.c

Also there are another few points:

Please add libconfig to makedepends.

The package is missing libxfixes and libxinerama as makedep or dependencies, I'm not sure. They are at least needed for successful building in a clean chroot.

Sorry for not being active for a couple a weeks, I've been busy with exams. I fixed package() and added git and pkgconf to make depends. Thank you to everyone who commented, it should build fine now.

  1. remove bin/ in package()
    before: install -D bin/activate-linux "$pkgdir/usr/bin/activate-linux"
    after: install -D activate-linux "$pkgdir/usr/bin/activate-linux"
  2. add git and pkgconfig in makedepends
    before: makedepends=('make' 'clang')
    after: makedepends=('make' 'clang' 'git' 'pkgconf')

remove bin/ from install to make it work with new versions

matan-h commented on 2022-05-17 13:42 (UTC)

building no longer create bin folder (install: cannot stat '/bin/activate-linux': No such file or directory ). I fix it by changing the last line package() to: install -D activate-linux "$pkgdir/usr/bin/activate-linux"

just activate-linux instead of bin/activate-linux

and additional error : one line before last: the -Dm644 missing white-space: it need to be -Dm 644.
