Here's a patch for the 1.8.1 version. I incorporated the author's suggestion below to move perl-ogg-vorbis-header-pureperl to an optional dependency.

For working pictures from movie/cd web-database you have also to install the package 'webp-pixbuf-loader'.

I am trying to install gcstar in my Arch xfce. But tried my level best, i cant succeed. Antone help me out?

Please find the error:

Note: If once i installed and again it showing another error of dependency. So how to install whole dependency at one shot?

Thanks for packaging 1.8.0.

I tried to install GCstar on a fresh Manjaro 23.0.0 / Plasma distribution and had an error as one of the GCstar's dependencies perl-ogg-vorbis-header-pureperl required "make" to be built. This dependency can be made optional for GCstar (only used to analyse some audio files) or make could be added to this library's dependencies or make could be added to GCstar dependencies.

I do not see 1.8.0 anywhere.

Hello, version 1.8.0 was released 9 months ago.

Hello,

In order to apply for the Gitlab Open Source program, I changed the namespace of GCstar from Kerenoc (my account) to GCstar (a Gitlab group).

The updates of the 1.7.3 version are now in the main branch of the git+https://gitlab.com/GCstar/GCstar.git

As the gcstar-git package name is still available in AUR, it could be used to directly build the latest versions from git.

I'm only testing Manjaro as a user was experiencing a bug on that system. I just used a LiveCD version that may be too old. I'll check the latest version to see if GCstar can be run out of the box using this package.

The gcstar-gitlab package is based on Gtk2 instead of Gtk3. It may be useful to keep the 2 versions

perl-params-validationcompiler is pulled by perl-datetime, which is pulled by perl-datetime-format-strptime, so it is not necessary to add it explicitely under Arch. On the other hand it does not harm to add it.

About the glibc packages: Why do you have outdated packages for these central packages installed? Is this a Manjaro thingy? If so, I do not use Manjaro and cannot support it reliantly.

Pulling directly from git is possible, but it is not usual to do this in packages without a -git suffix in name. This could be done in a gcstar-git package in AUR. And itis done by the (wrongly named an badly written) gcstar-gitlab package in AUR.
