@SoftExpert Nice! Just installed it and it works beautifully without all the bloat kwin brings on non-plasma systems. Thanks!

SoftExpert commented on 2025-07-14 09:59 (UTC)

@Alanon: I modified the package to declare kwin as optional dependency.

I hope this solves the issue you were having.

@ravencrow: glad it worked out !

@SoftExpert

Thanks for the reply. I figured it out. Apparently it doesn't like Qt-6.10.0beta1-2. I downgraded to the stable version and everything works fine now.

@SoftExpert: If you would like to keep kwin listed, but not mandatory and not installed for no reason, removing it from "depends" and putting it in "optdepends" should work.

You could also remove the kwin dependency entirely? The people who need kwin already have it and any benefits it might bring. Those who don’t, likely use a different environment and can’t use kwin from inside it anyway?

The only exception might be LXQt/Cosmic which might support kwin outside of a plasma session, but even in those cases the users have already gone through the trouble of manually setting it all up with kwin.

@ravencrow: I just rebuilt the package on my system and it did not have any errors.

Perhaps some dependency is missing on yours or there is a misconfiguration.

Here is an extract from my build log:

@Alanon: how would that be expressed in terms of configuration ?

ravencrow commented on 2025-07-14 06:17 (UTC)

Having issues building all of a sudden. Can anyone help?

@SoftExpert, Since crystal-dock supports window compositors other than kwin, should kwin be a hard dependancy? I’m on labwc and have installed it without kwin and all non-kwin features seem to work? (Installing it with kwin gives no benefits for me on labwc at least)

As this is an otherwise small package, it might be prudent to edit the build script to treat kwin as a dependancy only for KDE sessions?

https://github.com/dangvd/crystal-dock/issues/87

All fixed.

FabioLolix commented on 2024-10-25 13:50 (UTC)

error: ‘border’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

Builds fine on my Legion 5 (AMD Ryzen 7/nVidia RTX3070), fails on my Minisforum V3 (tablet, full AMD), how very odd.

Have you cleared the cache?

Have you modified makepkg.conf or similar?

Does it build with devtools https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot extra-x86_64-build
