since alsa-scarlett-gui is now provided in the extra packages of pacman, I'll stop maintaining the git version of this package. I advise people to switch to the official repository version

@luckdragon no, this is a -git package so as long as it still builds, it doesn't become "out of date". When you makepkg it should generate the proper version string.

I think this is out of date? https://github.com/geoffreybennett/alsa-scarlett-gui/releases/tag/0.3.3

latest tag is 0.3.3 also there's a debian build now

@fenugrec I was a bit in doubt both on how to patch things in a robust way and on how to generate the shasum for the extra file.

Replaced the patch file with your suggested sed command, thanks for the suggestions.

@akura nice, that was fast.

I still think sed -i 's/-Werror//' src/Makefile would be more robust (if i.e. upstream doesn't immediately addresses the problem but makes unrelated changes that would break our .patch). No big deal though, this is probably fine and definitely an improvement.

I would suggest makepkg --geninteg : I think it's good practice to have shasum entries even for local patches that don't come from "outside".

I've included a patch removing -Werror, seems to build here. Let me know if it works for you.

@Ralf_Mardorf

currently, CFLAGS contain -Werror in src/Makefile . I filed a ticket upstream about this https://github.com/geoffreybennett/alsa-scarlett-gui/issues/50

In the meantime, you can simply modify src/Makefile and compile normally.

@akura, maybe a simple sed line in prepare() could be a temporary workaround ?

Hi, it fails to build.

I've added PREFIX to the build command, that should fix the .desktop file.

Please add this line to the end of the package() function

sed -i -e "s|/usr/local/bin/|/usr/bin/|" "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/vu.b4.alsa-scarlett-gui.desktop"

Without this the mixer will not launch from the .desktop file
