../src/win.c:1555:34: error: assignment to ‘int’ from ‘void *’ makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]

Should build with following added to build():

CFLAGS+=' -Wno-error=int-conversion'

Consider testing/applying this patch: fa3b75d.patch

This needs the following depends as per namcap analysis and Arch package guidelines:

Thank you for maintaining it!

Ah alright I understand. I'll make the changes soon!

Sorry for the late reply: if both packages can be installed at the same time (i.e. picom is not deprecated and replaced by compfy, nor does compfy ship a compton symlink) but simply provide conflicting functions, it's not something we handle in a PKGBUILD: e.g. sddm and gdm can't run at the same time but their packages don't conflict with each other. It's up to the user to adjust their setup accordingly, so removing the conflicts and provides arrays is enough.

So I should just completely remove the conflicts and provides? I'm questioning it because compfy should fill the place of picom and also conflict with it.

Thanks a bunch :) For the conflicts/provides, simply not having the lines in the PKGBUILD should be enough?

Good News, I fixed the issue of installing to "/usr/local" thanks to your suggestion of "--prefix=/usr"

I also changed it as you suggested by adding a pkgver function and cloning via the release tag.

Hello Erus, I have had a go at fixing some of the things you mentioned. I am not sure how to fix the second and third issues you raised even after doing a fair bit of research. In terms of fixing the binary installation location I will push an update to the program that should fix it soon.

Hi,

Could you please update your PKGBUILD to follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Package_etiquette ?

A few things that jumped to my eyes is the PKGBUILD :

  • installs its binaries to /usr/local (probably missing something like "--prefix=/usr" or "--buildtype=release" as an argument to the meson setup?),
  • uses a provides and conflicts array but does not actually provide any conflicting binary with these packages: they can still be installed side-by-side even if they can't run at the same time for the same user session (same as conflicting network managers, for example),
  • the source should be updated to use an object hash as explained in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Package_sources or simply use the release tarball?
  • creates the $_gitfolder and $_gitname variables instead of simply using $pkgname.
