Discovered the issue! It has to do with CGAL interacting weirdly with $PATH ordering - take a look at https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/issues/6823 . A workaround is to just append /usr/bin to the start of $PATH when running the program - eg PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH paru -S gplates (or however you build AUR packages).

Glad to have helped at least a bit. Wish I could resolve your issues. Good luck!

That seems to be functional! Thank you, and sorry for having a bunch of weird issues :P

In case that doesn't work, here's my binary: wget http://bashupload.com/8ouwm/gplates (available next 3 days) Should work until the dependencies become out of date. Use the .desktop file if you're on wayland

Agreed; who knows how many issues I might stumble into. It actually doesn't work any better with just make; cmake with the same arguments that work in the PKGBUILD fails with the same 'CGAL_FOUND to FALSE' error.

Might just try the out-of-date binary option instead for now.

Seems likely that this is going to be a game of whack-a-mole if we continue down this path :/

Does it also fail if you try to compile GPlates outside of makepkg?

I had to use the -DCAGL_DIR=<path/to/CGAL> flag; that got me past that error. Now it's complaining that there's no proj_api.h it can include, referencing the command in mocs_compilation.cpp. Any ideas?

@wonn how odd. It still builds fine for me, even though /lib/cmake/CGAL/CGALConfig.cmake does indeed have set(CGAL_FOUND FALSE) on line 20. There must be some kind of configuration difference, but I am not really familiar enough with CMake to confidently solve this for you. If you're certain that cgal is installed, perhaps try adding -DCGAL_FOUND=ON to the cmake command in the PKGBUILD.

The current revision of this package fails to build on my system, with this error:

CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:48 (find_package):
  Found package configuration file:

    /lib/cmake/CGAL/CGALConfig.cmake

  but it set CGAL_FOUND to FALSE so package "CGAL" is considered to be NOT
  FOUND.

@switchbladestuff thanks for the notice. It's updated now.
