I don't use this package either, but will maintain it for a little while.

If you have problems with this package:

  • Try building in a clean chroot. This rules out local config problems.
  • Flag for simple, straightforward issues, like typos, depends, updates, etc. Include relevant errors and other info in the flag message.
  • Comment for issues that require explanation or debugging. Use a pastebin for blocks of text more than a few lines.

Ahoj,

when I build this locally or install your chaotic-aur/forkgram, all images that I click on to have them viewed in big/ fullscreen show instead a truncated white arrow like this:
https://imgur.com/a/CLob0dw
(YES!, this is a fullscreen screenshot when I click on an image -- be it an image in a chat, or a profile picture.)
(X.org, Intel UHD Graphics 600).

Was already the case since some versions ago.

forkgram-bin on the other hand shows images correctly.

Since it works with the official prebuilt forkgram (aur/forkgram-bin), I suspect this to be an issue about how the package is built. Since it also appears with your build chaotic-aur/forkgram, it is also nothing special to my build environment.

Regards!

There is a new error at compile time, looks like a dependency is missing. on 6.7.1 (the last I managed to compile a black window with white triangle is shown, looks like a known bug with Qt6 port. Precompiled Telegram 6.7.8 works fine. Can't manage to compile Forgkram last version (6.7.9):

CMake Error at Telegram/CMakeLists.txt:57 (target_link_libraries):
  Target "Telegram" links to:

    desktop-app::external_zbar

  but the target was not found.  Possible reasons include:

    * There is a typo in the target name.
    * A find_package call is missing for an IMPORTED target.
    * An ALIAS target is missing.

There is a bug in package or something, missing unzip.h.
