Arch Linux User Repository

New version was released. From now on, Vulkan support is enabled by default (please remember to install related optional Vulkan drivers for your GPU), ROCm support was removed and CUDA build process was improved, but still experimental. If you do not want to build it with CUDA support, it is possible to edit PKGBUILD before building (check inside notes).

@LFdev thanks for the tip! I went ahead and installed dsnote-git instead, seems to be working fine :)

@murchu27 It seems that current cmake version (v.4.0.2-1) has deprecated compatibility with CMake < 3.5, which is required for some files that are build with dsnote. For now, I think you have these options only:

1. Downgrade cmake (I do not know which is the minimum version that supports lower than 3.5, perhaps latest 3.x);
2. Edit the CMakeLists.txt in src folder manually for the projects that show this error message and change the minimum version required to 3.5 (the error message shows the project name and line that needs to be changed, like CMakeLists.txt:1 for qhotkey);
3. The git version seems to be working fine now, at least with FULL_BUILD=false;
4. Use the Flatpak version;
5. Wait for the next release (mkiol has already tagged a beta of v4.8.0 but the release may take a while, there is no ETA).

Getting build errors, although not sure exactly how much logs to include. Here's the snippets towards the end. This happens even when I set FULL_BUILD=false. Any ideas what I need to do here?

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
  to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
  to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.

  Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

@skhilko This package is built with Python support (-DWITH_PY=ON), so you just need make sure "Use Python Libraries" is enabled in Settings > Advanced with the default location and then install FasterWhisper before running dsnote. One option is to install python-faster-whisper from the AUR, and if you also need CUDA support you will need other packages (I have not tested this who), more info can be found in FasterWhisper repo.

@LFdev, how can FasterWhisper engine be installed? Thank you!

@Arctirus Please see my previous message about build error tips. The build with CUDA support worked fine here earlier today, after a full update and a reboot. Some source is downloaded from others projects upstream during build, so it may be a temporary glitch. If it still fails after clearing the build cache and trying to build again, please post the full log, or at least the part with the actual error, in an online pastebin and share the link to it here.

@LFdev Thank you for answering so quickly! I checked my CUDA installation and saw that I somehow installed the CUDA-package from AUR.

I removed the AUR package and installed the Arch package cuda/extra. After that I deleted the build cache in yay and rebuilt. Everything works now, cuda12.0 from AUR caused the problems - no idea when and why I installed it.

And of course you are right with the pastebin - next time.

@ww998 I assume you are just running makepkg or using an AUR helper with the stock PKGBUILD and have cuda package installed, right? I have just updated my system, rebooted, started a build and it worked just fine here. I am sorry, but the only tips I could give are: 1. make sure you restart the system if you have just installed cuda 2. clear the build cache and try building again (sometimes I have problems with paru that simply cleaning its cache fixes the problem 3. If you are using a helper, try a manual build 4. Last but not least, I would recommend using something like an online pastebin when sharing logs so it keeps the formatting and get easier to read.
