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

  • The executable is now fully lowercase forkgram
  • Package should now be installable alongside extra/telegram-desktop

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.

I have caught missing deps:

Program mm-common-get found: NO
Message: Maintainer mode requires the 'mm-common-get' command. If it is not found,
install the 'mm-common' package, version 1.0.0 or higher.
Program mm-common-get found: NO

glibmm-2.77.0/meson.build:145:18: ERROR: Program 'mm-common-get' not found or not executable

and

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
  Could NOT find Boost (missing: Boost_INCLUDE_DIR program_options) (Required
  is at least version "1.58")
  1. extra/mm-common
  2. extra/boost
  3. fmtlib.net aka extra/fmt
  4. extra/gobject-introspection due to g-ir-scanner - at cmake/external/glib/generate_gir.cmake:8

I can confirm that installing these allows the build process to begin. I'm updating from 4.6.2-2. To cut it short, going forward keep a look at extra/telegram-desktop it seems to have the deps up to date.

Finally the build errors with this (if I read it correctly) ...frk-v4.9-full/Telegram/lib_ui/ui/platform/ui_platform_window_title.cpp:325:27: note: candidate expects 1 argument, 2 provided

Checking telegram-desktop-dev package, Giovanni resolved the glibmm "issue":

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=telegram-desktop-dev

I've just merged its changes to my own forkgram private repo and it works. I've pushed my PKGBUILD here:

@shanoaice thank you very much. That confirms what I was reading... I also tried exactly what you already post.

For now I have switched back to latest release that works with 2.76.

I don't really understand what Telegram developers are doing with 2.77...

@figue Arch does not seem to package glib2 2.77 suites since they are considered devel, and I've tried to build it manually from Arch Build System. glib2 builds but does not work properly at all (test also fails), so you probably have to wait for 2.77 to become stable and gets into Arch's repo.

Just for reference, here is the build process (that does not work): refer to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_build_system#Using_the_pkgctl_tool to get the PKGBUILDS of glib2 and glibmm-2.68.

First build glib2-2.77.1, modify pkgver to 2.77.1 and _commit to "e1f4c5806f755756a0af137bd1577216c52f7881" (tags/2.77.1^0), then comment out these lines in prepare():

git apply -3 ../0002-glocalfile-Sum-apparent-size-only-for-files-and-syml.patch
git apply -3 ../0003-tests-file-Do-not-rely-on-du-bytes-behaviour.patch

since the corresponding changes has been merged in 2.77.1, then build glib2 with gcc and --nocheck (test suite will fail to pass).

Then build glibmm-2.68-2.77.0. Modify pkgver, then modify _commit to "720c7fd69e65a1ccc621edac9ce98f0c4931d1d1". After that, build it with either gcc/clang and --nocheck (test suite will also fail if you run them).

Make sure gobject-introspection is installed, forkgram requires this to build but it is oddly not in the makedeps list.

Hi @ptr1337

It doesn't build for me:

--   Package dependency requirement 'glibmm-2.68 >= 2.77' could not be satisfied.
Package 'glibmm-2.68' has version '2.76.0', required version is '>= 2.77'
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:607 (message):
  A required package was not found

@Alireza

i think i could move and rename the binary, but I dont think It is really worth to do that right now. Ill have a watch and let you know

Alireza commented on 2022-07-17 06:29 (UTC)

Hi, Is it possible to install forkgram alongside telegram??

this package has conflict with telegram-desktop and the other package breaks telegram-desktop after installation (forkgram opens telegram-desktop)

does it need a maintenance by programmer?

ptr1337 commented on 2022-06-23 18:16 (UTC)

4.0.0 seems to compile without problems again. Finally.

ptr1337 commented on 2022-06-11 21:42 (UTC)

@KspLite

Same for me, seems to be a upstream bug.
