Arch Linux User Repository

@gmes78 as always the error was between the chair and the screen. I was using the wrong npm version, nvm use node fixed my issue. Sorry about that

@HamletDuFromage What happens if you go to the source directory and run make res src? Does that work?

What's output of sha1sum Makefile?

Doesn't werk on my machine :o

@gmes78 oh sweet sweet, I've been using the manual setup but I think it should be fine. All of my Plasma 5 rice is also broken in Plasma 6 hahaha.

Thx for the push

@dhupee I just pushed the v1.0b1 prerelease version, seeing as the old one doesn't work at all with Plasma 6.

Have you check whether in your system is working for Plasma 6? because it just come out and it broken, with the polonium itself isnt showed up in Kwin Script section.

EDIT: I cant install it I guess the typical broken stuff of moving from plasma 5.27 to 6, since all of my old rice is also broken https://github.com/zeroxoneafour/polonium/releases/tag/v1.0b1 it has plasma 6 version, I guess we have to wait for it to be released, i have used it with manual install though

Per the author, the PKGBUILD file should be changed to make res src instead of make src res

https://github.com/zeroxoneafour/polonium/pull/46

This probably should be fixed upstream in the makefile, but in the meantime this solved the build issue:

Hey, developer here! This AUR package and its git variant are not officially supported, so if you run into bugs try to use the local user version and see if it fixes it first. This package should be fine to get though.
