I witnessed it happening again a few minutes ago.

Yes, some time ago I implemented a workaround and the issue seems to be occurring less than usual or may be even stopped occurring but I did experience the workaround not working once and the relevant issue trackers are still open which means the core issue hasn't been properly dealt with yet.

So, just to be on the safe side, compile command can be changed to meson compile -C build || meson compile -C build so that if this bug does occur somewhere, the package will still build successfully.

@mazharhussain: I've updated the dependencies, however I can't reproduce the Meson issue you mentioned.

Hi, I am the developer of Daikhan. I have two suggestions.

  1. Depend on gst-plugin-gtk4 instead of gst-plugins-rs.

    Daikhan does not require any other plugins from that package and gst-plugin-gtk4 builds faster and is even available pre-built in the chaotic AUR.

  2. Change meson compile -C build command to meson compile -C build || meson compile -C build.

    Due to a bug in meson, meson compile -C build command can fail on the first ever try if both Vala and Blueprint are involved. meson compile -C build || meson compile -C build works around that bug.
