Arch Linux User Repository

Hi @toitenminh. This a binary package, so we can't rebuilt it. Maybe you want to flag the forkgram package which is compiled by the user?

I've compiled Forkgram v3.3 in my laptop with official docker method. I don't know why in Github Linux action always fails... I've tried to fork the Forkgram repo and build it in github, but maybe it's overpassing the free limits. I'm not sure.

In any case, I can use this build for personal use, but I can't distribute. If anyone is interested, install docker and follow the official instructions. This is what I did:

$ sudo pacman -S docker
$ sudo systemctl start docker
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/Forkgram/tdeskop forkgram-repo
$ cd forkgram-repo
$ docker build -t tdesktop:centos_env Telegram/build/docker/centos_env
$ docker run --rm -it \
    -v $PWD:/usr/src/tdesktop \
    tdesktop:centos_env \
    /usr/src/tdesktop/Telegram/build/docker/centos_env/build.sh \
    -D TDESKTOP_API_ID=611335 \
    -D TDESKTOP_API_HASH=d524b414d21f4d37f08684c1df41ac9c \
    -D DESKTOP_APP_USE_PACKAGED=OFF \
    -D DESKTOP_APP_DISABLE_CRASH_REPORTS=OFF

ADVICE: this API_ID and API_HASH are the same used in Archlinux's community repo and AUR packages (telegram-desktop and telegram-desktop-git). You can generate your own if you want.

SECOND ADVICE: docker, by default, uses /var/lib/docker to start CentOS image and build inside all needed libraries, etc, so keep in mind you will need 25+ GB in /var and another 5 GB in folder you cloned github repo.

THIRD ADVICE: final binary will be located in out/Release/Telegram (around 763M no stripped, so you can strip this binary later: strip -p -o Forkgram out/Release/Telegram). Now you can copy your new Forkgram bin to forkgram-bin repo folder and change a couple of things to use as your source:

$ cd /home/figue/packages/forkgram-bin
$ cp -p PKGBUILD PKGBUILD_local

Edit PKGBUILD_local and paste this

Then fix sums (your sum will be different than mine) and build it:

$ updpkgsums PKGBUILD_local
$ makepkg -sic -p PKGBUILD_local

Enjoy.

PD: When you need to update:

$ git pull --recurse-submodules

Then run docker build just as before.

@mcbelisle unfortunately, no binary version for Linux was released.

@mcbelisle unfortunately this is a binary package and upstream linux compilation failed, so we have to keep this version for now.
