About the 'node-gyp rebuild' error, just install nodejs-lts-carbon or another lts release. Worked for me!

Error: sharp@0.18.4 install: 'node-gyp rebuild'

The latest Firefox and Chrome Web Clipper extensions are only compatible with Joplin 1.0.99+ according to the developer: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/629#issuecomment-397888946

This patch for PKGBUILD will allow you to install Joplin 1.0.99 and restore the Web Clipper functionality:

@bossi - Thanks for the link. I ended up getting Joplin to work by installing NVM using it to install nodejs-lts-carbon. Anyone who wants to try it check out these two links: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Node.js_ https://github.com/creationix/nvm

Once I followed those links, I removed the nodejs-lts-carbon in the two places it is listed in the PKGBUILD and the package installed and runs fine now.

@felmey - Yes, Joplin's dependencies have moved from nodejs to nodejs-lts-carbon, due to an incompatibility with the latest nodejs-10's sqlite libraries, it seems. This results in dependency conflicts if you have anything else installed that depends on nodejs as the two nodejs-packages are mutually exclusive.

Have a look here for further details.

There seems to be a problem with nodejs and it wants to install nodejs-lts-carbon but that breaks other dependencies... Anyone else have this problem?

Awesome, thanks @masterkorp,

I see you're listing your github repo in the sources, was just about to suggest. I'll continue using that space instead to track issues; happy to contribute back if I get a chance.

Best Regards~

Hello @bossi,

Yes, the AUR repository, its just for the code. I do have another repository on github https://github.com/masterkorp/joplin-pkgbuild

You are more than welcome to open an issue there, or even contribute directly.

Hi @masterkorp,

Not a problem at all, thanks for posting back though! I wasn't sure if this is the right channel to discuss these more specific, code-related issues (was looking for something closer to the repository itself but there isn't?). I have picked up your patch since, works all well on my end - I figured you had either seen my post or noticed the issue yourself. Cheers!

Hello @bossi,

Firts of all, sorry for the delay on the response, somehow I did not get propely notifed.

Thank you for you patch, but by now the packages has been fixed. Can you confirm it does work for you?
