Arch Linux User Repository

For those who would prefer not to build qt5-webkit or cmake3 themselves, @FabioLolix has contributed prebuilt packages (link here). Especially the former is quite a build.

As for the Fontmatrix itself, the upstream project is archived and not actively developed anymore. I still find it very useful though, although it often crashes when attempting various small configuration adjustments. So be warned, don't expect it to work entirely without issues.

It goes without saying, if anyone has the time and is so inclined, the upstream project could use contributors and maintainers.

At the moment, libxml2-legacy needs to be in the makedepends for the fontmatrix to build, since libxml2.so.2 is still required.

Has anyone tried to build Fontmatrix with qt6?

fontmatrix did not work with qt6 because of conflicting dependencies

Thanks. I really should start using a clean chroot for building.

It fails to build without having qt5-tools installed.

By not providing "FindQt5LinguistTools.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5LinguistTools", but CMake did not find one.

I returned to the original dependency matrix, since

namcap fontmatrix-0.9.100-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst 
fontmatrix W: File name usr/share/fontmatrix/resources/Samples/ru/Гоголь contains non standard characters
fontmatrix W: Dependency mesa included but already satisfied
fontmatrix W: Dependency included and not needed ('qt5-svg')
fontmatrix W: Dependency included and not needed ('qt5-tools')
fontmatrix W: Dependency freetype2 included but already satisfied

Thanks for the heads-up, will fix this soon.

qt5-base should be listed in the depends list, not makedepends list. Also, qt5-webkit shouldn't be listed in makedepends (as it is already in depends). Also, when checking the CMakeLists.txt, you should add at least freetype2 in the depends list.
