@Justojp This means you will need to install certain packages manually such as python-setuptools and perl-locale-gettext. Should be doable with a simple
pacman -Syu python-setuptools perl-locale-gettextI don't know if this is the right place to be posting this here but I keep getting the message that the package has failed such as... [linux/ibus-keyman] ## build failed ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... -> error making: keyman-exit status 4 checking dependencies... :: pacman optionally requires perl-locale-gettext: translation support in makepkg-template :: python optionally requires python-setuptools: for building Python packages using tooling that is usually bundled with Python :: python-cffi optionally requires python-setuptools: "limited api" version checking in cffi.setuptools_ext :: python-wheel optionally requires python-setuptools: for legacy bdist_wheel subcommand
and
-> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required: keyman - exit status 4
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but any guidance to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.
Please correct the license to be MIT: https://github.com/keymanapp/keyman/blob/master/LICENSE.md
Missing dependency "python-xdg-base-dirs".
@glottophilos, @Jao
I tested the package on both a fresh Arch Linux installation and in a Manjaro clean chroot, and it worked without issues—running yay keyman installed it without any additional fixes. (Though I have to add webkit2gtk as a dependency.) Unfortunately, I can’t explain why your system failed to resolve the paths.
@csslayer
Your package split is a clever trick, I will utilize your code in the future versions.
Perhaps the sed command that glottophilos commented should be added to the PKGBUILD. It did not work for me until It was manually added. Is there a reason why it is not included by default?
Hi, I created a split package version for it so fcitx user doesn't need to install ibus.
Some additional fixes: 1. Missing dependency found by namcap 2. Split License for keyman & ibus-keyman 3. use /usr/lib instead of /usr/libexec to follow the Arch's guideline. 4. Remove werror in meson which make the compilation fail on my system.
It's slightly 5000 character so I put it on gist, FYI: https://gist.github.com/wengxt/811543a7cd5b77907158a709159902b9
Fantastic! Thank you so much for getting this up and running! For whatever reason I had to make some small changes to the PKGBUILD for the sake of a meson.build file that had a bunch of issues with relative filepaths. In the prepare(), I added:
# Patch the Meson build file for docs
sed -i \
-e "s|'../include/keyman/keyman_core_api.h'|'../../include/keyman/keyman_core_api.h'|" \
-e "s|'../src/jsonpp.hpp'|'../../src/jsonpp.hpp'|" \
-e "s|'../../common/cpp/utfcodec.hpp'|'../../../common/cpp/utfcodec.cpp'|" \
-e "s|--conf-file=doc/hotdoc.json|--conf-file=docs/internal/hotdoc.json|" \
-e "s|--output=doc|--output=docs/internal/html|" \
../core/docs/internal/meson.build
Everything else worked smoothly. I did also need to use specifically the ubuntu url as well for the gpg command, but that was very minor and may be down to my system specifically:
gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C8E614F58F1B65E0
Thanks again, we super appreciate it!
