@isomo I get the same error. Doing what the error message says and adding -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to the CMake argument in the PKGBUILD does work for me.

The system CMake version is 4.0+. The old CMakeLists.txt in tag 1.11.4 uses:cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1.0). The latest package uses: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5). So when building, I get this error:

==> Starting build()...
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (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.

If you have error message:

Waiting for system tray to become available

Install gnome tray extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/

Upstream seems inactive, so I doubted my bug report will get any attention soon and looked for an alternative. I tried systray-x-git and it works in Plasma Wayland session, at least for current Thunderbird version 91.6.1, doing basically all I need (minimize to tray, restore window, show unread messages). Hope this helps other Plasma Wayland users.

@snack, it's worth checking upstream for that.

I just tried Birdtray in a Plasma Wayland session. I get a segfault with no other info dumped to the terminal. A fresh rebuild of Birdtray using yum didn't help. Is this expected? I know Birdtray doesn't have full Wayland support but AFAIK some basic support is there, so I didn't expect the segfault.

Here working with 91.x in a fully updated system. Try to reinstall it. If you are using yay or some other AUR helper, delete cache first.

Works here with TB 91.3.0-1. Try rebuilding Birdtray and if it still does not work then start it from command line with:

$ birdtray -l log.txt &

and check the content of log.txt for possible hints about the crash at startup.
