Arch Linux User Repository

After the latest update, this now builds fine in clean chroot. Thx for the quick update, @FabioLolix!

Btw @amotrak has submitted a patch, and it is needed for this package to build. As since June 2024, Arch packagers have split out the build helper runtimes from glib2 and made the split package glib2-devel.

Without that in makedepends, this is what happens (tested with the current, latest PKGBUILD, in clean chroot):

Program /usr/bin/glib-mkenums found: NO
libadwaita/src/meson.build:63:25: ERROR: Dependency 'glib-2.0' tool variable 'glib_mkenums' contains erroneous value: '/usr/bin/glib-mkenums'

@FabioLolix, thx for the update, and for your feedback! I will try to aim for making and sharing patches when I can push myself to do so.

Though bear in mind that most typically, when I make a packaging feedback, the changes I suggest are not urgent for me personally. So please don't feel pressured on my part. :)

I am most usually a "hit-and-run" tester of many packages that I don't normally use. Like this one. (I use KDE and I actually don't even have gtk4 nor libadwaita installed on my main machine.)

The chance that brought me here was testing an abandoned VCS package, crosswords-git.

I have pushed an initial revision I made some time ago

@MarsSeed you already know I don't have broadband in these days; why don't you make a patch instead of commenting?

Also this package should depend on gtk4-git, not gtk4, because it can be frequently the case, as is at the moment, that the stable gtk4 is too old for the requirement defined in the libadwaita main branch:

Dependency gtk4 found: NO. Found 4.14.5 but need: '>= 4.15.2'

Please rename all split packages to have an actual -git suffix in pkgname. Current naming pattern is not proper (libadwaita-git-docs, libadwaita-git-demos).

New dependencies are required, just applied the changes from the Arch libadwaita PKGBUILD. Also consider removing version restriction on gtk4 package, as it makes it impossible to build against a gtk4-git (which is now a requirement)

Okay, I found that only encapsulating the whole check() into a bash subshell works as expected:

Should also guarantee that ${_w} exist inside that shell, because it's still the same one.

Disregard my previous comment about trap, that was incorrect. Debugging rn.
