had to install shader-slang-bin from the AUR, since kitty now requires slangc in order to build
edit: python-sphinx_design as well

@justforlxz This is a bug in the upstream font detection script. I opened a pull request https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/pull/9652 to fix this. You can test it to see if it works.

@justforlxz can't replicate the fail

The pkgbuild have a makedepends on ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-mono and the program will copy them by itself

from devtools: 

[42/42] Generating wayland-wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1-client-protocol.c ...
 done
Copying 'Symbols NERD Font Mono' from /usr/share/fonts/TTF/SymbolsNerdFontMono-Regular.ttf
[1/138] Compiling kitty/screen.c ...

From makepkg:

==> Starting build()...
[42/42] Generating wayland-wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1-client-protocol.c ... done
Copying 'Symbols NERD Font Mono' from /usr/share/fonts/TTF/SymbolsNerdFontMono-Regular.ttf
[138/138] Compiling kitty/gl-wrapper.c ... done
[5/5] Linking launcher ... done

The font 'Symbols NERD Font Mono' was not found on your system; please install it.

I looked at the code, and it seems that the font needs to be manually placed in the kitty-src/fonts directory.

@xiota can't replicate https://github.com/FabioLolix/buildlogs/commit/f00d785ece8ee26f9e9deced3f64410e1043f21a, despite the error/warning you see in my logs the packages are being created and run

FabioLolix commented on 2024-07-14 09:37 (UTC)

@xiota yes
