aur/electricsheep 3.0.2-3 -> 3.0.2-6

Not sure why it is validating 3.0.2. Maybe I did something out of band when I installed it but I don't think so.

Update: Oh, they are both 3.0.2 (I was reading 3.0.2-6, after the dash). Maybe the package got updated here with out a version bump? I just rm ~/.cache/yay/electricsheep -rf then updated again and it downloaded, validated, and then did a fresh make and it works now without error.

@Rogach, thanks for the quick fix! The error was: error while loading shared libraries: libtinyxml.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@ajdunevent Moved tinyxml to dependencies.

Can you share the error text? I looked through the source and it seems that tinyxml is used in sheep downloader - but checking the binary with ldd doesn't show dependency on the shared library.

@Rogach, electricsheep won't run for me without tinyxml installed. Am I mistaken in my understanding that tinyxml should therefore be a dependency as opposed to a make dependency?

@blarneyrabble Boost is not a problem here, those were just non-critical warnings. The main problem is that FFmpeg upgraded to version 5 and dropped some deprecated functions.

I've tweaked the code to make it compile on FFmpeg 5, and switched the upstream repo temporarily. I'll make a PR to the upstream repo and switch the source url back once changes are accepted.

If you would like to build the original code it is still possible - you can check out PKGBUILD at commit 2c11446c, it uses ffmpeg4.4 as a dependency and still builds okay.

Looks like I am having issues with my boost being too new, and this uses deprecated global placeholders? I think the solution would be to use the BOOST_BIND_NO_PLACEHOLDERS macro, or, as it states, use boost/bind/bind.hpp + using namespace boost::placeholders, but I am not sure how to do either? I'm thinking that editing ContentDecoder.h somehow might be what I'm trying to do?

Works. Thank You.

@ShaviRankar

Do I run that command in the directory with all the build files? - if you mean electricsheep build files, then no.

You need to download the snapshot for flam3 package from AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/flam3/), and then makepkg it as usual (here's the tutorial, just in case: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages)

After that you can use pacman -Qi flam3 to verify that it successfully installed. Then you can proceed to installing the electricsheep package.

pacman -Qi flam3

gives me:

error: package 'flam3' was not found

Thank you kindly for the explanation on mkpkg. Do I run that command in the directory with all the build files?

@ShaviRankar "rebuilt the package against the new boost-libs" - just doing makepkg -sfi should work (-f will force the rebuild even if previously built package already exists).

"the install still says it's missing" - can you show the error message? And pacman -Qi flam3 output?
