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

I can't build this package anymore after the latest boost update, like the other commenters.

Instead of just trying the suggested fix from https://github.com/KrystianD-contribution/easystroke, I followed the upstream URL http://easystroke.sourceforge.net to find out that it actually forwards to https://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke which tells us that it is unmaintained and recommends a fork at https://github.com/berkeleybross/easy-gesture, which made many changes and also renamed the application to easy-gesture...

Did anyone successfully compiled and tested easy-gesture? At least it sounds promising, but wasn't updated for some time as well...

patched version from github @khorster Hello. I found a patched version on github that compiles and works for me. You can find it here: https://github.com/KrystianD-contribution/easystroke good luck p.s. I hope its right because it's my first comment.

@callmejoe that worked. I did it another way. I restored my last good image w/ clonezilla. Then added to pacman.conf

IgnorePkg = boost-libs

Then did pacman -Syu and said yes to ignore boost-libs. Happily, Easystroke emerged unaffected.

@henno downgrading boost-libs to version 1.78 gets it working again. but boost-libs is required by a lot of packages, so might break other stuff

edit: looks like some news at upstream http://easystroke.sourceforge.net/

I can't seem to build this, currently. Easy stroke was complaining about an update to libboost, so I went to uninstall and rebuild (as have done before and mentioned below) but now it fails entirely.

undefined reference to `void Stroke::save<boost::archive::text_oarchive>(boost::archive::text_oarchive&, unsigned int) const'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:62: easystroke] Error 1
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...

@BujuArena That worked like a charm. You're my hero. Thanks!

I was getting this error when running easystroke in the terminal:

easystroke: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_serialization.so.1.75.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I noticed I have boost-libs 1.76.0 installed.

To solve this, I used yay -R easystroke, then yay easystroke, then chose this AUR package and chose to clean-build easystroke. After that, running easystroke in the terminal worked.

This seems to be a common problem. Try running pacman -Syu, reinstalling easystroke, and reinstalling boost-libs.

rcrath commented on 2021-01-07 20:22 (UTC)

problem seems to be that boost-libs is now at 1.75.0-1
