@auriculaire please report it to the developer

Hello. The latest update does not resolve the issue described above: the buttons are still crosses in a rectangle under KDE Plasma 6. But under Xfce, the interface is perfect. Thank you (Merci).

Hello. On KDE Plasma 6, the buttons in the Cantata application have become like check marks or boxes with crosses through them... Is there a solution to this problem?

FabioLolix commented on 2025-10-15 21:26 (UTC)

Avoided the error. Was able to replicate with devtools while with makepkg on my outdated system worked fine; so I guess is due to Qt6 update

Fails to build for me. Not sure why.

@scrouthtv no, I prefer to share sources and having a single copy of them (common source dest)

cd "$srcdir/" is pointless to add since is already done by default

Consider using the packaged source instead of git source, as it drastically reduces download size (down to 4,6M from >12M):
