Arch Linux User Repository

The PKGBUILD needs to be updated to follow https://archlinux.org/todo/switch-to-a-versioned-packaging-scheme-for-wlroots/

dwl was updated to version 0.7, which works fine with wlroots 0.18

Arch now (i think this is new, but not sure) has to version of wlroots: just "wlroots" which is the current version (currently 0.18) and "wlroots0.17". But the latter one has its .pc file in a non-standard location. To get it work in a pinch: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/usr/lib/wlroots0.17/pkgconfig' then run makepkg.

Or add the line to the PKGBUILD. Look at the sway package, i got it from there too :) Sidenote to maintainer: the dependency to wlroots needs to be updated too.

Despite locate wlr_idle.h /usr/include/wlroots0.16/wlr/types/wlr_idle.h dwl does not compile :

Any idea ?

Modification to the PKGBUILD so it automatically applies patches that are in the dwl directory

optdepends=('xorg-xwayland: for XWayland support')
source=("$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::https://github.com/djpohly/$pkgname/archive/v$pkgver.tar.gz"
         config.h
         *.patch)
 sha256sums=('f03a260b169019ebdbfd6db1b19a3dc7861ba33609644581c530be019f22274c'
             'SKIP'
             'SKIP')

 prepare() {
    cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"

    # Apply patches
    patches="$srcdir/*.patch"
    for file in $patches ; do
       echo "Applying patch '$file'"
       patch -d $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver < $file
    done

Why is there a checksum for the config.h file? Isn't that file supposed to be edited.

source=("$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::https://github.com/djpohly/$pkgname/archive/v$pkgver.tar.gz"
        config.h)

            'SKIP') # change this to SKIP

Fixed, thanks!

The PKGBUILD doesn't support XWayland correctly.

# Uncomment to compile with XWayland support
sed -i -e '/-DXWAYLAND/s/^#//' config.mk  # This line is present
sed -i -e '/^#XLIBS/s/^#//' config.mk     # Missing, add me
