Arch Linux User Repository

I have applied this patch in gmt6 package which is maintained by me: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=gmt6&id=4624df2424a2ad5fd7a6aca83d1687a599164db7

Anyone can try it if they need

@qs9rx fyi.

Currently needs export CFLAGS+=" -fcommon" because of https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/gmt/issues/2493 or it won't compile.

The fix is in master but not in the tarball this package uses.

The upstream URL for this should be changed to the new development website. Similarly, the source should be changed to the official Github repository.

@graziano, any chance the PKGBUILD can be updated according to @holishing and @bidulock's suggestions or is something blocking that? It would be useful for me to be able to build this in a clean chroot.

Here is some suggested patches for this package: https://gist.github.com/holishing/3b0d92007ed9c8f490545563cbc397b4

solve these issues: 1. add 'python-sphinx' and 'ghostscript' to makedepends so that the package will build in a clean chroot. 2. use more reliable checksums method: SHA256 3. update description of package for suggestions of maintainers here: https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/gmt/issues/2056

Please add 'python-sphinx' and 'ghostscript' to makedepends so that the package will build in a clean chroot.

GMT v6.0.0rc1 was announced: https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/gmt/releases/tag/6.0.0rc1 If someone want to try this release candidate version: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gmt6

As @pseyfert said it's related with python-sphinx (Python documentation generator). I installed it, and after that, gmt compiled fine. No more "make docs_man" error.

I had faced the same problem (package() failing at 'docs_man'). I traced it down to the fact that python-sphinx wasn't installed on my system (it's only an optional dependency, so my aur manager didn't install it). gmt's cmake then doesn't generate the target 'docs_man' (it's thus an optional build target). But the package() function will just fail if 'make docs_man' cannot be done. I.e. to me it seems python-sphinx should be a non-optional build dependency or package() needs to be fixed to not build docs_man if python_sphinx isn't installed.

(fwiw i didn't check if the python2 or python3 sphinx is the relevant one, i just installed both and things worked)

sometimes I ran into the issue @OvelixMax reported, but I still cannot reproduce this, I guess that if it is related to python-sphinx's version. (related problem: https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/pygmt/commit/997b88c855c12ffacd2c4b911f3fa83244ce8d7b )
