@xircon, why do you think so?

Just compiled the package without any issue in a clean chroot - chawan-git-r3375.ca8ecd7e-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

What error do you have?

xircon commented on 2025-03-15 13:46 (UTC)

Can you remove the nim dependency, it will not compile with that version (nim>=2.0.0), needs nim-git.

Thanks for suggestions! Enjoy

OK, I found the solution. The correct LIBEXECDIR should be passed to the nim compiler when building. Simply change the line in build() to:

make LIBEXECDIR=/usr/lib/${pkgname%-git}

@Nebulosa Would you mind applying the change when you get a chance?

I encountered cha: Can't load about:chawan (CGI file not found) after installation.

This seems caused by CHA_LIBEXEC_DIR not assigning to the right path (/usr/lib/chawan) according to the repo's doc.

Thanks. zlib dependency seems to not be needed.

Tried on chawan-git-r2201.a766983b-1 - success.
