The 487.patch no longer is needed as it is fixed (included) in upstream since late september 2023.

Simply removing / commenting-out line 36 (git apply "${srcdir}"/487.patch) solves the build issue.

PKGBUILD should be updated accordingly and remove the patching.

Fails to build: error: patch failed: external/misc/CMakeLists.txt:32 error: external/misc/CMakeLists.txt: patch does not apply

Current version will not compile on Manjaro23. 487.patch fails to apply. Works if you comment out the patch:

prepare() { #patch --directory="$_pkgname" --forward --strip=1 --input="${srcdir}/gpsd-version.patch" cd "$_pkgname" #git apply "${srcdir}"/487.patch }

https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf/pull/487

Could this be added as a patch?

The patch is trying to patch against an old dwgpsd.c version.

As the patch only is affecting an API compatibility check, it can (as of now) be removed from PKGBUILD - then the buildprocess runs through without problems.

For this comment out from PKGBUILD

  # prepare() {
  #    patch --directory="$_pkgname" --forward --strip=1 --input="${srcdir}/gpsd-version.patch"
  # }

Does not build since today:

@alexf91, I currently (085ff29eb985) get this error when building this package.

install: cannot stat '../direwolf.service': No such file or directory

Given you already do cd to the srcdir and the local sources are put there you don't need the prefixed ../ -- at least as far as I can tell.

I successfully tested that gpsd nor hamlib are actually needed to compile the package and use if you don't need any GPS and PPT functionality (ie. you are willing to rely on VOX with all those downsides of it). Therefore both gpsd and hamlib should be moved to optdepends.

patch for the latest version with gpsd fix

1) Please add "aarch64" architecture. I can confirm that it builds and runs fine on this architecture

2) There is a problem because of new gps-libraries. dwgpsd.c must be modified from
GPSD_API_MAJOR_VERSION > 12 to GPSD_API_MAJOR_VERSION > 15. I can confirm that direwolf is working without issues with newer gps libraries.
