Arch Linux User Repository

I did the instructions below so that I could get the build. After installation I'm getting this error when running it:

/usr/bin/grayjay: line 13: /opt/grayjay/Grayjay: No such file or directory

If you are getting any issues like

warning: error running /usr/lib/git-core/git 'config' '--includes' '--global' '--replace-all' 'filter.lfs.clean' 'git-lfs clean -- %f': 'error: could not lock config file /dev/null: Toegang geweigerd' 'exit status 255'
Run `git lfs install --force` to reset Git configuration

Apply this patch (just add --local after git lfs install)

Hi, your PKGBUILD is failing to install it on the latest version. There is no ${srcdir}/Grayjay/Grayjay.Desktop.CEF/bin folder.

libappindicator-gtk3 has been added to pkgbuild dependencies

Install failed for me with:

[...]

My workaround was to install libappindicator-gtk3 manually upfront.

Install works now, but running the program immediately crashes with:

The git repo fails to pass the sha256 check.

Getting a problem when trying to install this package. Guessing it can't get something from Git?

@00ein00 it certainly looks like it does, but let it run for a few minutes (depending on your internet connection) and it will post four more of these, after which build() will begin.
