@Scimmia -- whoops! I am the maintainer of brewtarget-git, when I first ran into the issue brewtarget hadn't been updated. When I had more time to go through it and figure it out I posted that message without checking if it had been updated in the meantime...

bcb, this is brewtarget, not brewtarget-git, you posted this 9 hours after boost-libs was added to makedepends here.

bcb commented on 2026-04-02 09:04 (UTC)

A heads-up: as of 1.9.0, the Arch boost package no longer depends on boost-libs - https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/boost/-/commit/da6a96ad895cf1949b0831e3d18dadb040f39539

To get the brewtarget-git package to build, I had to add boost-libs to makedepends as otherwise meson fails to successfully find boost. It's not needed in depends (I tested running it on a machine without boost-libs, and also checked with ldd). I guess this is due to patching out backtrace and stacktrace_backtrace from the build which would require it at runtime. There may be a better way to tell meson to only look for the headers; I admittedly didn't look too hard as I am not too worried about the extra make dependency.

Seems like 4.0.10 is out and it fixes some segfaults at startup (see https://github.com/Brewtarget/brewtarget/issues/809 - says macOS, but seems to be affecting Linux as well) — worth upgrading.

Hello, brewtarget became unusable after update. At first startup asks me if I want to add new ingredients. When I select yes, program ends with ERROR : ASSERT: "false" in file../brewtarget/src/utils/TypeLookup.cpp, line 89 [utils/TypeLookup.cpp:89] There are more previous errors there,I can provide them later if needed, but seem to be related to the same file. If I select no, program starts, but it crashes with Segmentation fault after I do som action, for example go to another recipe.

If you have already updated to 4.0 prior to 4.0.3, please read the release notes for 4.0.3! https://github.com/Brewtarget/brewtarget/releases/tag/v4.0.3

There is no 3.0.10. Once it's released, of course the patch wouldn't be needed, as it's a backport. AFAIK, -DNO_MESSING_WITH_FLAGS=ON makes the release build option moot, but we need to switch to meson anyway. Patching around their Debian-specific requirements isn't as simple with meson, though.

A few comments: The patch is no longer required for 3.0.10. Commenting out line 706 in ObjectStore.ccp doesn't fix the problem, but does let the program run. Probably should add -DDO_RELEASE_BUILD=ON in the cmake command in PKGBUILD.

Scimmia commented on 2023-05-01 23:47 (UTC)

I haven't updated this to 3.0.8 yet because I can't get it to run successfully, it's aborting in ObjectStore.cpp at runtime. If someone else tracks it down, let me know, otherwise it'll be on hold until I can figure out why.

Upstream bug. They almost completely rewrote CMakeLists.txt, the desktop and the icon are now being installed to <prefix>/share/${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}. Of course, nothing looks at /usr/share/brewtarget/ for a desktop file and icon. I'll open a ticket upstream when I get some time to put it together unless someone beats me to it.
