@dreieck Thanks for mentioning. Your suggestions have been integrated into version 0.62-3

You currently use git to download sources; in that case git must be added to the makedepends array.

Regards!

Your commit does not coincide with the official tag to download.

Please remove _commit=bd9aec9 (or update it), and change
source=("$pkgname::git+$url.git#commit=$_commit")
to
source=("$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::https://github.com/jvde-github/AIS-catcher/archive/refs/tags/v${pkgver}.tar.gz").

This also solves this issue about the minimum CMake version: Seems that your commit ID references an older commit than the latest official release.

Regards!

Ahoj,

namcap shows me errors about missing dependencies: 

ais-catcher E: Dependency postgresql-libs detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libpq.so.5'] needed in files ['usr/bin/AIS-catcher'])
ais-catcher E: Dependency libsdrplay detected and not included (libraries ['usr/lib/libsdrplay_api.so.3'] needed in files ['usr/bin/AIS-catcher'])

Regards!

Thanks @dreieck. The easier solution was to add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5.

Ahoj,

this issue has been fixed upstream can be fixed in the release version (before upstream crafts a new release) by applying this patch from upstream.

Ahoj,

add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to the cmake options to workaround a breaking change in cmake version 4 that upstream has not adapted to yet: 

==> Starting build()...
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
  to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
  to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.

  Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.
