If easystroke stops working due to a boost-libs upgrade, try rebuilding the package and rebooting.

@boennhoff, Yes, I was having the same issue and I could see in ~/.cache/yay/easystroke that PKGBUILD was outdated. I noticed I had an empty pkg folder in there that was requiring sudo privileges. I'm not sure if this is what was interfering with yay -S --rebuild easystroke.

I was able to fix my issue by removing ~/.cache/yay/easystroke.

I tried your suggestion first @callmejoe - thanks for that - with yay -S --rebuild easystroke, but that did not work. I can only assume that the rebuild does not redownload the PKGBUILD after all.

I had a similar issue with aur/gtkglext where only a checksum in PKGBUILD was updated/fixed. Maybe increasing the release number is not a bad idea if the PKGBUILD changes, if only to avoid verbosity & support here ;-)

@scar45 good question. Might be because I never updated the pkg release number so yay -Syu won't pick it up as an update.

if you rebuild it manually yay -S --rebuild easystroke, then it rebuilds with the updated PKGBUILD.

I experienced the same error as @boennhoff, then noticed per @callmejoe that my PKGBUILD was not the latest version, and was missing the line from his added sed command to prepare() commit. I manually added that line and ran makepkg -i which worked.

A question I have is why did yay not pickup the latest PKGBUILD from back in July? I performed a clean build and usually run yay -Syu for updates. I don't mean to ask an off-topic question here, but I tried searching and couldn't figure it out.

@boennhoff it builds for me successfully. is your system up to date? PKGBUILD was updated recently. are yo using the latest one?

It fails compiling again with:

Maybe changes in extra/boost-1.86.0-2 or extra/gtkmm3-3.24.9-1 are the cause?

@xiota hey thanks that works. i'll update the PKGBUILD

callmejoe commented on 2024-05-25 04:31 (UTC)

i think new boost version 1.83.0-8 broke package. stay tuned
