Downgrading pango worked for me too.

Downgrading pango allowed the build to proceed. I tried updating pango again after building and it seems OK for now, so this is a temporary workaround.

Same problem, downgrading pango (1.43.0-1 -> 1.42.4-1) helped.

Can confirm, have the same error while building

Just in case you need it, I'm currently using i3-gaps-next-git built on:

Build Date : Fri 14 Dec 2018 12:21:53 PM EST

So whatever is causing the build error happened since then

I just attempted to build using this PKGBUILD but substituting the repo, and I got the same error:

/usr/bin/ld: ./libi3.a(a-string.o): undefined reference to symbol 'g_utf8_make_valid' /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

@wjeng @madscience Could either one of you try building this PKGBUILD but just replacing the repository URL with the one for i3 (Airblader/i3 → i3/i3)? Just so we make sure we use the current PKGBUILD and the current i3 git HEAD.

Appreciate your support!

I can confirm the same error when building with pikaur:

/usr/bin/ld: ./libi3.a(a-string.o): undefined reference to symbol 'g_utf8_make_valid' /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: [Makefile:1582: i3] Error 1 make[1]: Waiting for unfinished jobs.... /usr/bin/ld: ./libi3.a(a-string.o): undefined reference to symbol 'g_utf8_make_valid' /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [Makefile:1676: i3bar/i3bar] Error 1

my version of glib 2 is 2.58.2-1, it's the most up to date.

@Airblader Both i3 and i3-gaps build fine. I once accidentally did "yay -S i3-gaps-doubleborder" and got a similar error:

/usr/bin/ld: src/i3-util.o: undefined reference to symbol g_markup_escape_text'

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line

Airblader commented on 2019-01-04 17:30 (UTC)

@wjeng I don't know what to tell you other than that you need glib2 >=2.52. The PKGBUILD for i3 is mostly the same. Does that one build for you?
