Arch Linux User Repository

I've updated a lot of thing for esound:

• change URL to https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/esound
• using source tarball instead of pre-configured dists now
• this means that there's an additional autoreconf step, but it's safer to use this
• I've added @mpento's patch, so the package is buildable again
• fixed wrong version on so files: libesd.so.0.2.39 => libesd.so.0.2.41
• had to add a patch to allow logs on stdout and stderr, because systemd don't like them closed like that
• added a user service that plays better with PipeWire, you can enable with systemctl --user enable --now esound.service

I just couldn't test the system service yet, because PipeWire doesn't let root access it. I'll try to test in a VM when I have time. If you find any issue, please let me know.

@mpento I had to use the --ignore-whitespace flag when invoking "patch" in the PKGBUILD. This may have something to do with the fact that I copy and pasted the patches from your comment.

@vitaliikuzhdin I needed this to build XMMS and ran into the same issue as you have.

clean_exit() is prototyped in esd.c, which is not available to clients.c. I ended up creating two diff patch files, the first removes the clean_exit() prototype from esd.c, the second adds the clean_exit() prototype to esd-server.h.

Since both esd.c and clients.c include esd-server.h, this satisfies the requirement and allows for a successful build.

The caveat here is that I am probably doing this wrong. :-) However, I will provide my solution here, and anyone who knows how to fix this problem correctly please feel free to enlighten me.

finally, add to PKGBUILD:

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

  # patches to address missing prototype in clients.c
  patch esd.c ../../esd.c.patch
  patch esd-server.h ../../esd-server.h.patch

I hope this is helpful.
