The latest extra/cava (0.10.4-2) now ships with /usr/share/consolefonts/cava.psf , conflicting with the same file from this package.

@mutoroglin thank you, that fixed it for me! It seems that waybar-cava also works!

Thank you for your note @wsduvall. The new version 4.2.2 of iniparser has its include structure modified. There is an upstream pull request pending to fix the issue: Fix build compilation errors with new iniparser 4.2.2 #18. I added a patch to fix the issue temporarily, please try if it works with you now. Please be aware that the same issue currently inhibits waybar-cava to run. So I am unsure if you're able to verify libcava atm. I will update waybar-cava as soon as an upstream solution is published.

I get the following error: 

Has header "iniparser.h" : NO
Has header "iniparser4/iniparser.h" : NO

meson.build:72:3: ERROR: Problem encountered: iniparser library is required

A full log can be found at /home/$USER/.cache/paru/clone/libcava/src/cava-0.10.1/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

error: failed to build 'libcava-0.10.1-1':

I did confirm that iniparser is installed and /usr/include/iniparser/iniparser.h exists...

the build issue has been solved. Switching off the link time optimisation did the trick (see [SOLVED] Linker error when building via makepkg for details).

@beatsgo & @lm41 thanks for your messages on this package; I experience the same issue as @beatsgo, the package doesn't build but I caninvoke it manually. I will work to solve it, please be a bit more patient. Thanks

  • 'ninja -C build' failing

  • For whatever reason, manually building it works allowing anyone to continue after this process.

Thank you for your checking and verifying the non-conflicting nature of this lib package with the cava application. Cheers.

mutoroglin commented on 2023-10-22 09:00 (UTC)

@MarsSeed Even though the package can build the standard cava app this libcava package doesn't build and install that; that is deliberate to avoid the conflict with the cava package

Thanks for the hint, I removed libcava from the provides array :)

MarsSeed commented on 2023-10-22 07:45 (UTC)

+1: Please remove 'libcava' from provides: a package should not (double) declare its own name in its provides. :)
