@chorlton Mate, you're an absolute Legend! Was way outta my paygrade & I was banging my head against the wall. I paid for $38 lifetime Vpn Unlimited subscription, 8yrs ago, & I wasn't ready to give up. Thanks again...

I was getting similar errors to @ace510 - although I realise they're just summary stats and my numbers were different. I amended the PKGBUILD file to send b2's output to a text log file and spotted that all the errors were related to boost_python. I only need the package to support vpn-unlimited-bin so amended line 79 from

  ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=gcc --with-icu --with-python=python3

to

  ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=gcc --with-icu --without-libraries=python

Rebuild and it failed on package_boost174-libs(). This also has python related code, trying to copy mpi.so which didn't now exist, so I simply commented that out:

# https://github.com/boostorg/mpi/issues/112
#  local site_packages
#  site_packages=$(python -c 'import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])')
#  install -d "$pkgdir$site_packages/boost174"
#  touch "$pkgdir$site_packages/boost174/__init__.py"
#  python -m compileall -o 0 -o 1 -o 2 "$pkgdir$site_packages/boost174"
#  cp fakeinstall/lib/boost-python*/mpi.so "$pkgdir$site_packages/boost174/mpi.so"

The package then built and installed. I was then able to install vpn-unlimited-bin which seems to be working fine.

If you've bailed on the package, let somebody take it, at least?...

even after ediiting the PKGBUILD as per @randomstuff1 i'm still getting errors isntalling Boost174

I was also trying to install VPN Unlimited client with this.

The link to the https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.74.0/source/boost_1_74_0.tar.bz2 in the package is dead, that's why the checksum fails, because the hosting is disabled and the installer is not checking the .tar.bz2 but the 404 page https://landing.jfrog.com/reactivate-server/boostorg

Since the maintainer has probably ditched this, you can install the boost174 by editing the PKGBUILD before installation:

yay -S --editmenu boost174

then when prompted to edit the file, choose (Y)es and edit the dead link to the official pakcage located at https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_74_0.html (you can see it has the required checksum and is the same file), so edit 

https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/$pkgver/source/$_srcname.tar.bz2 
to
https://archives.boost.io/release/$pkgver/source/$_srcname.tar.bz2

vpn-unlimited-bin, it's associated with...

simona commented on 2024-07-09 13:27 (UTC)

now build is ok. but I no longer remember what this library was used for.

ItachiSan commented on 2024-07-09 12:30 (UTC)

Hi, new maintainer here. Thanks for the input @FabioLolix, my terminal always lost that error. Now checking upstream for code that can fix the build.

Quick replay for one thing, this is broken by the update to v2.0.0 of python-numpy 

libs/python/src/numpy/dtype.cpp:101:83: error: ‘PyArray_Descr’ {aka ‘struct _PyArray_Descr’} has no member named ‘elsize’
