Arch Linux User Repository

You can build the last version of Beyond Compare v4 I packaged (4.4.7.28397) by doing this:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/bcompare.git/
cd bcompare
git checkout dcf8794f1301c9213558b2583a956c04cf2a2135
makepkg -crs

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!

I've got a similar output of that guy in that thread, even without config folder and after recompile and reinstall of bcompare, but nothing useful.

Runtime error 216 at $000000001D20207F
  $000000001D20207F

If it works for everyone else it means it has to be something on my end, but I don't know how to debug a runtime error...

I'm getting an 32-bit binary installed on my 64-bit system:

/usr/lib/beyondcompare/bcmount32

Also, there are missing dependencies for some of these files:

File "/usr/lib/beyondcompare/BCompare" from package "bcompare" is missing dependency "lib7z.so"
File "/usr/lib/beyondcompare/BCompare" from package "bcompare" is missing dependency "libQt4Pas.so.5"
File "/usr/lib/beyondcompare/libQt4Pas.so.5" from package "bcompare" is missing dependency "libQtGui.so.4"
File "/usr/lib/beyondcompare/libQt4Pas.so.5" from package "bcompare" is missing dependency "libQtCore.so.4"
File "/usr/lib/beyondcompare/qt4/libQtGui.so.4" from package "bcompare" is missing dependency "libQtCore.so.4"

Also, the install script is raising an error (but ultimately succeeding):

==> Starting package_bcompare()...
install.sh: line 211: kde4-config: command not found
======================================
Please place the following in your .bashrc or .cshrc (etc.)
export PATH=/home/matt/.cache/yay/bcompare/src/install/bin:$PATH
======================================
Executable is /home/matt/.cache/yay/bcompare/src/install/bin/bcompare

@G4Zz0L1, I don't know reason why you're getting that error, but I found this link that could be useful.

I hope it helps.

This package started reporting error 216 when run (graphically or from the console) with no other output. Any idea how to debug it or why it happens?

Updated to version 4.4.1.26165.

Enjoy!
