@barbuk Works perfectly, thanks!

Hey @kml93,

Thanks for the suggestion. Please test the 0.7.12-2 release.

Hi,

package() fails because the path to the deb data is hardcoded to src-tauri/target/, but Cargo respects CARGO_TARGET_DIR which can be set to a different location (e.g. XDG-compliant setups).

Fix (1 line):

-  cp -a src-tauri/target/release/bundle/deb/"${pkgname^}_${pkgver}"_*/data/* "${pkgdir}"
+  cp -a "${CARGO_TARGET_DIR:-src-tauri/target}/release/bundle/deb/${pkgname^}_${pkgver}"_*/data/* "${pkgdir}"

This respects CARGO_TARGET_DIR while keeping the default path as fallback, so it doesn't change behavior for users who don't set it.

Tested on handy 0.7.11.

Yes, it did build and install successfully.

barbuk commented on 2026-03-06 15:09 (UTC)

did it build successfully with an up to date toolchain ?

mahula commented on 2026-03-06 15:08 (UTC)

Thank you. So my reported problem about the handy package installation does not exist.

barbuk commented on 2026-03-06 14:54 (UTC)

hello @mahula,

You have a 2 years old version of cargo / rust. If cargo / rust is installed with pacman, the current version should be:

cargo 1.93.1 (083ac5135 2025-12-15) (Arch Linux rust 1:1.93.1-1.1)

If you install and maintain your toolchain with rustup, please update your rust toolchain with:

rustup update

Hello,

installing the current version 0.7.9-1 of this package results in these errors:

(!) Some chunks are larger than 500 kB after minification. Consider:
- Using dynamic import() to code-split the application
- Use build.rollupOptions.output.manualChunks to improve chunking: https://rollupjs.org/configuration-options/#output-manualchunks
- Adjust chunk size limit for this warning via build.chunkSizeWarningLimit.

  feature `edition2024` is required

  The package requires the Cargo feature called `edition2024`, but that feature is not stabilized in this version of Cargo (1.82.0 (8f40fc59f 2024-08-21)).
  Consider trying a newer version of Cargo (this may require the nightly release).
  See https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/unstable.html#edition-2024 for more information about the status of this feature.

I need help figuring out what to do to fix this. I am grateful for any assistance.

Didn't have this issue, but I build for x11. gtk-layer-shell is a wayland depandancy.

I'll add it to makedepends.

futpib commented on 2026-02-12 13:30 (UTC)

gtk-layer-shell dep is missing from PKGBUILD. Without it i get this

  pkg-config exited with status code 1
  > PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_CFLAGS=1 pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk-layer-shell-0 'gtk-layer-shell-0 >= 0.6'

  The system library `gtk-layer-shell-0` required by crate `gtk-layer-shell-sys` was not found.
  The file `gtk-layer-shell-0.pc` needs to be installed and the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable must contain its parent directory.
  The PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable is not set.
