Arch Linux User Repository

I've built with jdk8... Like this:

env JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/jre/bin:$PATH makepkg -sic

But if you want to execute jitsi, it's better to set it globally:

archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk

See pinned comment.

In my case it installed the package ant (v1.10.5-1) as makedependency, which provides apache-ant and has no such file /etc/profile.d/apache-ant.sh. You could uncomment the correspondent line 26 in PKGBUILD's build() as workaround:

. /etc/profile.d/apache-ant.sh

As alternative, you can replace the makedepend with package apache-ant-10 (also v1.10.5-1), which still provides the missing file /etc/profile.d/apache-ant.sh.

But then I had to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable (jdk8-openjdk/jre8-openjdk):

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default

and import the missing and unknown public key A2115AE15F6B8B72 for downloaded file apache-ant-1.10.5-src.tar.bz2 in the local keyring:

gpg --recv-keys A2115AE15F6B8B72

The file /etc/profile.d/apache-ant.sh only sets the proper path into the environment variable ANT_HOME. I think both workarounds produce the same results, because they are the same ant version and both set a valid ANT_HOME environment variable, whilst the former uses another config file and doesn't know the file jitsi wants to source while build. As long as you don't want to change the default ant paths you should be fine with both solutions.

/home/steven/.cache/yay/jitsi/PKGBUILD: line 26: /etc/profile.d/apache-ant.sh: No such file or directory

This doesn't build with java10, needs java 8:

depends=('java-runtime=8') makedepends=('apache-ant' 'java-environment-common' 'java-environment=8')

ArnaudNux you may not actually have java-8-open installed, check because I had exact same error and had java-8-openjdk/jre installed but not java-8-openjdk.

Working fine for me with JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime Please check your env

For me, java 8 failed, and java 7 worked.

$ makepkg

Hi, Please could you modify your .desktop in this manner?

in order to provide themeability?

The package seems not to compile against Java 9 (Java 8 works): compile: [javac] Compiling 2172 source files to /tmp/yaourt-tmp-omangold/aur-jitsi/src/jitsi/classes [javac] warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 1.7 [javac] /tmp/yaourt-tmp-omangold/aur-jitsi/src/jitsi/src/net/java/sip/communicator/util/JitsiDnsNameService.java:35: error: cannot find symbol [javac] implements NameService [javac] ^ [javac] symbol: class NameService [javac] /tmp/yaourt-tmp-omangold/aur-jitsi/src/jitsi/src/net/java/sip/communicator/util/JitsiDnsNameService.java:25: error: package sun.net.spi.nameservice does not exist [javac] import sun.net.spi.nameservice.*; [javac] ^ [javac] /tmp/yaourt-tmp-omangold/aur-jitsi/src/jitsi/src/net/java/sip/communicator/util/JitsiDnsNameServiceDescriptor.java:29: error: cannot find symbol [javac] implements NameServiceDescriptor [javac] ^ [javac] symbol: class NameServiceDescriptor [javac] /tmp/yaourt-tmp-omangold/aur-jitsi/src/jitsi/src/net/java/sip/communicator/util/JitsiDnsNameServiceDescriptor.java:36: error: cannot find symbol [javac] public NameService createNameService() [javac] ^ [javac] symbol: class NameService [javac] location: class JitsiDnsNameServiceDescriptor [javac] /tmp/yaourt-tmp-omangold/aur-jitsi/src/jitsi/src/net/java/sip/communicator/util/JitsiDnsNameServiceDescriptor.java:20: error: package sun.net.spi.nameservice does not exist [javac] import sun.net.spi.nameservice.*; [javac] ^

login errors are gone, if i use jitsi.sh from jitsi-nightly https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/jitsi.sh?h=jitsi-nightly
