Take a notice, this is now a split package - meaning it will build both the gui and the daemon - you need to install only one of them (unless you really need both).

OK...I looked at it again & found my mistake.....I left the ../configure --prefix=/usr --with-gui=qt5 line & just added your fix in the place of the #'d out line.....My bad.

It worked with:

build() { cd "$srcdir/$_sourcename"

./autogen.sh

mkdir -p build && cd build

BDB_LIBS="-ldb_cxx-5.3" BDB_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/db5.3" ../configure --prefix=/usr --with-gui=qt5 --disable-embedded-bdb

make DESTDIR="$srcdir/$_sourcename" install

}

THANK YOU!!!

Well, I tried your fix and still have the same error. I feel like I'm beating my head against a wall right now.

The version that is still running with the older version of boost was built on 18 Feb of this year.....so something has changed since then & I'm trying to pin down what "that" is......Frustrating....

@Exdebianmainuser I may have solved the issue - or at least found a workaround. Changes to the PKGBUILD are as follows: 1. Don't us embedded BDB - the configure line should be BDB_LIBS="-ldb_cxx-5.3" BDB_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/db5.3" ../configure --prefix=/usr --with-gui=qt5 --disable-embedded-bdb

If I'm being honest, I don't get why it's using embedded bdb by default when it already lists db5.3 as a system dependency.

I have tried multiple times to build & end up with an error2. I then went to my backup system (update once a week--I use it as the baseline to my daily system which I "play" with) I updated that system & of course, the app did not work. I then tried to rebuild & came up with the same error2....in both systems it does not seem to be related to boost. Error section below...

make[3]: *** [Makefile:2007: env_config.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/dean/.cache/yay/gridcoinresearch/src/Gridcoin-Research-5.4.9.0/build/src/bdb53' make[2]: *** [Makefile:14550: bdb53/libdb_cxx.a] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/dean/.cache/yay/gridcoinresearch/src/Gridcoin-Research-5.4.9.0/build/src' make[1]: *** [Makefile:12983: install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/dean/.cache/yay/gridcoinresearch/src/Gridcoin-Research-5.4.9.0/build/src' make: *** [Makefile:798: install-recursive] Error 1 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... -> error making: gridcoinresearch-exit status 4 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required: gridcoinresearch-qt - exit status 4

Both systems are up to date & all depends are installed for the build....it is looking like a problem with the current version of bdb53. Thoughts to correct this are very welcome...I've been poking at the problem for a week now.

I had no problem rebuilding the package against the new boost update.

Same problem here, after system update gridcoin isn´t working anymore, maybe u can update the package @Tahvok

Exdebianmainuser commented on 2025-05-05 23:24 (UTC)

Greetings....Had a failure yesterday due to boost & boost-libs update. I downgraded boost & boost-libs & now Gridcoinresearch works again......

nikitabel229 commented on 2025-02-09 15:47 (UTC)

With new boost version, the 2788 and 2786 PRs need to be backported to build

Exdebianmainuser commented on 2025-02-02 18:24 (UTC)

Note: I just rebuilt the package & it works again....so, no worries....we can just wait for the 5.4.9 that "should" be up soon.

Thank You for keeping this package up!!!!
