@FabioLolix The approach with devtools and extra-x86_64-build worked for me.

@eclairevoyant I was using a clean chroot, not only told I yay to use one, I also tried to manually delete the build folder. I've then installed paru and it shows the same exact error. And even using makepkg -si in the cloned folder shows the same error. I don't know why it fails for me, it worked fine before.

@FabioLolix TanakaSan's issue was from before I added the patch, but I agree that @NoXPhasma is clearly not building in a clean chroot

@TanakaSan @NoXPhasma could not reproduce your issue both using makepkg and devtools (extra-x86_64-build), since this pkgbuild don't depends on other AUR pkgbuilds is easy to build with devtools; that will also let you use rust on your system while rustup will be installed in the chroot

I can't build with latest changes to the pkgbuild. This is the error:

error: could not compile eww (bin "eww") due to 3 previous errors
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

@TanakaSan Upstream CI uses the latest nightly and all PRs will be run against this CI. Therefore I will be using the nightly toolchain here.

Hello, I am new to arch, and trying to install eww-x11-git with paru.

now, when I run paru -S eww-x11-git, it fails to build package with following compile errors; error[E0635],error[E0635],error[E0599],error[E0599]

I do not write error details, but I am quite sure the reason of these errors are depends on rust-toolchain version issue. PKGBUILD overwrites the rust-toolchain version to nightly. However, actual required toolchain version is "nightly-2022-08-27" as it is written in rust-toolchain.toml

Therefore, rather we define rust-toolchain version on ourselves, it is better to use rust-toolchain.toml

Here is solution:

remove export RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=nightly from both prepare() and build() section.

remove cargo fetch --locked --target "$CARCH-unknown-linux-gnu". Instead of this, run rustup show to install appropreate rust-toolchain version.

thank you for maintaining repo :)

I believe elkowar's pgp key expired and the package no longer builds by default

makedepends was updated to comply with Rust package guidelines.

Anyway, AUR helpers aren't supported by Arch, use makepkg -s or ideally build in a clean chroot using makechrootpkg -- -s and you should not have issues.

I am unable to install this package with paru.

==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.
error: failed to build 'eww-git-0.4.0.r28.ge762068-2 (eww-x11-git)':
error: packages failed to build: eww-git-0.4.0.r28.ge762068-2 (eww-x11-git)

I am pretty sure it is because of cargo-nightly in makedepends

In the interest of having a functioning binary, since I don't know when upstream will take a look at #739, I have turned this into a split package (eww-x11-git and eww-wayland-git). Please install the relevant package based on your use case, and make sure to kill eww completely before using the new packages.
