Thanks supermuffin, i added gconf to deps. I am currently not able to check this package due to internet problems so i need those valuable information. I try to keep this up.

Thanks for the suggestion, it runs now with gconf. Why don't you include gconf [community] instead of lib32-gconf [AUR]? This way it would build and run out of the box. I don't think the developer will drop this dependency soon.

There appear to be reports of Node 18+ causing the error below because of an underlying SSL change (there are recent posts here, for example), and from what I've found, patching PKGBUILD as below might solve it.

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

in case you got this error while compiling

Node.js v19.4.0

Gconf right now can't be updated (from AUR) because of an error in its package - considering how it is an admittedly obsolete package (its AUR description says "An obsolete configuration database system"), is it really required by fspy?

Seems to be missing the package file.

EDIT: Nevermind. Seems to be an issue with paru & other AUR managers (notably yay). Might be worth fixing anyway. Got installation working with git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/fspy.git and makepkg -si.

Building is fine but I’m getting an error at the install stage

==> Starting check()...
==> Entering fakeroot environment...

Command 'makepkg --force' failed to execute.

Can't build 'fspy'.

Failed to build following packages:
fspy

This package did not build for me, I get the following error:

However, updating to the latest pre-release seems to fix the problem. This is the patch I used:

That's true. With pikaur installation went smoothly.

Please try to install with trizen instead of yay. Or git clone and makepkg the fspy and dependency aur packages yourself. It seems this is a problem of yay(?)

yarn run v1.22.4 error Couldn't find a package.json in "/home/jm/.cache/yay/fspy/src"

Did a fresh build on a different machine for testing - works like a charm. Thanks!
