Can't be build

error: could not find all required packages:
    zig<0.16.0 (wanted by: ghostty-git)

ghostty.py conflict between ghostty-git and ghostty-nautilus-git Confirming @alerque's zig 0.15 chroot workaround works fine for building (pkgctl build -I zig-0.15.2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst). However, on install there's a file conflict: /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/ghostty.py is packaged in both ghostty-git and ghostty-nautilus-git. Since it's a Nautilus extension, I'd guess it should only belong to ghostty-nautilus-git. Installing them in the same pacman -U transaction fails outright. Workaround: install in two separate transactions with --overwrite: bashsudo pacman -U --overwrite '/usr/share/terminfo/g/ghostty' \ ghostty-git-.pkg.tar.zst \ ghostty-terminfo-git-.pkg.tar.zst \ ghostty-shell-integration-git-*.pkg.tar.zst

sudo pacman -U --overwrite '/usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/ghostty.py' \ ghostty-nautilus-git-*.pkg.tar.zst Could the package_ghostty-git() split be fixed so ghostty.py only ends up in ghostty-nautilus-git?

This can be built with the zig0.15, but my recommendation is to download the last 0.15 release from the Arch package archive and just supply that to a clean chroot build:

$ cd ghostty-git ; git pull --rebase
$ wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/z/zig/zig-0.15.2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
$ pkgctl build -I zig-0.15.2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

@alerque @gpanders: This is currently failing to build and conflicts with ncurses. I was able to build doing the following: PKGBUILD.diff (paste expires in one month)

Edit: Didn't see the comment below this before posting. Essentially said the same thing, though.

Also, this will be resolved once this arrives.

https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/glibc/-/commit/3814883fb34c94ca7a6118fdf620e9184466d013

The build currently fails under Cachy with fatal linker error because Cachys glibc has SFrame support enabled, and the Zig linker can't handle these sections (see https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig/issues/31272).

To fix this temporarily, install glibc from core instead of cachyos-*.

To piggyback on what spiek said, here's the explicit instructions to how to apply the fix.

1. Copy the repo to you local machine

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/ghostty-git.git

2. Change to the directory

cd ghostty-git

3 Apply the patch

sed -i '/cp -r build\/usr\/share\/terminfo/a\n\t# remove ghostty terminfo, cause the file is already shipped by ncurses\n\trm -f "$pkgdir/usr/share/terminfo/g/ghostty"' PKGBUILD

4 Build ghostty-git

makepkg -sic

5 Ghostty should build now

This fixes the ncurses error during installation:

1.2.3-3 does contain a fix, but ghostty-git is not fixed yet, still fails to build

This has been fixed upstream. ghostty-terminfo 1.2.3-3
