@musikolo Not at this moment but i will let you know if i do.
The only thing i can think of is that i do force Qt apps to go into wayland mode. Was that also the case for this machine? Because otherwise it just runs on xwayland and then i can imagine it would just work without.
Environment:
If you don't do that, theres quite a performance impact, and up until recently caused a lot of issues with nvidia cards; this is now fixed for the most part.

Hi @robindegen,
I finally managed to find a computer with Arch that doesn't have the
qt5-wayland
package and none of its dependencies. I installedbcompare
and it worked well. So, again, you must have something strange in your computer, asqt5-wayland
isn't a required dependency, at least, for everyone. If you have a chance to repeat this exercise in another computer, that would be nice to further validate.Regards.

Hi @shaurz,
You can build the last version of Beyond Compare v4 I packaged (
4.4.7.28397
) by doing this:Since you have a license for v4, you might be interested in looking at the upgrade policy at https://www.scootersoftware.com/kb/upgradepolicy .
I hope it helps!

@Musikolo
Sorry I missed your first message. I tried your 2nd comment.
B: No it does not work.
C: That works fine

At some point this package was upgraded to version 5, but I don't have the licence for this version.
Is there any way to get the old package for version 4?

@robindegen, I found
qt5-base
has qpa files. Please try to do the following:a) Remove
qt5-wayland
skipping all dependencies:b) Run
bcompare
in a terminal to see if it if works.c) Restore
qt5-wayland
:I was unable to reproduce your issue. Let's see if this shows something useful.
Regards.

@Musikolo When I tried to run it it just core dumped. I then started looking at the shell script itself; set up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH manually and ran BCompare. That then showed that Qt couldnt find a module for 'wayland'. On a hunch i checked if qt5-wayland was installed; it wasnt. Only qt6-wayland was on my system.
If i specifically uninstall qt5-wayland from my system (yay -R qt5-wayland):
If i install it again, the program runs again just fine
Manually running the application (just copy pasting out of the shell script):
Again, reinstalling qt5-wayland makes the program run fine also with that method.
Also note: I dont have kwayland-integration installed. I didn't even know about this package and have been running for a long time just fine without it. I installed it now, just to see if it brings me anything I was missing before.

@robindegen, I'm also on latest KDE wayland. I have
kwayland-integration
installed which depends onqt5-wayland
. However, if I delete it withpacman -Sdd qt5-wayland
, I can startbcompare
seamlessly.If you can share more details on what error you're getting, I could look into.
Thanks.

I'm on latest using KDE wayland. I had to manually install qt5-wayland for this to work. It kept crashing otherwise

Everything works fine now, thank you @Musikolo for keeping this package up to date!
