pkgbuild have been updated, it would have been more useful if you tried to build my pkgbuild without glfw-x11 in chroot

I tried with the dependencies from Arch's official kitty package in a clean build:

depends=('python3' 'freetype2'  'fontconfig' 'wayland' 'libx11' 'libxkbcommon-x11' 'libxi'
         'hicolor-icon-theme' 'libgl' 'libcanberra' 'dbus' 'lcms2')
makedepends=('libxinerama' 'libxcursor' 'libxrandr' 'wayland-protocols' 'python-sphinx')

with extra makedepends: git and python-setuptools.

Did not need glfw-x11 nor glfw-wayland.

Edit: I think one key is libxi, which provides the required header files /usr/include/X11/extensions/XInput2.h. With libxi, then there's no need for glfw-x11. libxi is also listed in the dependencies from upstream: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/build.html#dependencies

glfw-x11 is needed at build time, you can try it yourself.

pychuang commented on 2021-03-10 22:47 (UTC)

It seems kitty's source code comes with its own fork of glfw. And it links against that bundled glfw. So I think there's no need to put glfw-x11 in the makedepends. Besides, glfw-x11 conflicts with glfw-wayland.

if you came across this

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
kitty-terminfo: /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-kitty exists in filesystem (owned by kitty-git)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

just remove the file /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-kitty by 

sudo rm -f /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-kitty

and try installing again.

It seems like starting with Kitty 0.18.4 package liblcms2 is required for building, at least that's how I read this error-message:

Package lcms2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `lcms2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'lcms2', required by 'virtual:world', not found
CC: gcc (10, 1)
The package lcms2 was not found on your system

And, thus, it should have corresponding entries for provides and conflicts...

provides=(kitty kitty-terminfo)
conflicts=(kitty kitty-terminfo)

That's because this package supplies it already (or it does now anyway, maybe it didn't last year):

failed to install kitty-terminfo: /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-kitty exists in filesystem (owned by kitty-git)

Note that the non-git version of this package has dependencies not found in this release. Especially kitty-terminfo seems significant.

@CjK libcanberra was added 2 days ago to depencies in the code, pkgbuild has been updated now, thanks
