Missing fast_float v6.1.4 in PKGBUILD for libpdfium-nojs 6778

fatal error: third_party/fast_float/src/include/fast_float/fast_float.h: .....

Same problem here since some time. Just to let you know.

AUR packages marked as outdated: libpdfium-nojs openvpn-dco-dkms opera pkgtools

libpdfium-nojs: local package (6668.r4.e59b248dc4-1) is newer than the AUR one (6367.r1.7b90b15a21-1)

I've just intalled this package (megasync dependency) and the version seems to be 6422.r2.94407286f4-1, not 6367.r1.7b90b15a21-1. I'm not an expert, I don't know if there is a mistake of if the version number is irrelevant.

@YetAnotherAli I've updated the package with a workaround for the issue. It should build without modifications again.

@selmf Thank you very much. Everything worked exactly as you said.

@YetAnotherAli it seems that pdfium upstream messed up the dependencies for the current stable branch. I did some initial checks and it looks like the build setup is referencing a version of the chromium build environment that is newer than the version they pull via DEPS.

I'm still undecided on how to best adress this, but as a workaround you can switch to a beta build by changing the chrome_version in the PKGBUILD to the beta channel. The correct line for this is already present, you just have to comment the stable and uncomment the beta chrome_version.

Failure in build: Undefined identifier at enable_safe_libstdcxx.

Only found these two links referencing something similar: https://github.com/bblanchon/pdfium-binaries/actions/runs/8323881636 https://github.com/bblanchon/pdfium-binaries/actions/runs/8323949160

@selmf - gotcha. when copying and pasting the pkgbuild earlier, i saw the partition_alloc flag was set to false and the thought did occur to me that with the flag being false, there was no need to bring in the source. but, i went with what i saw as an attempt to hook in the partition_alloc source, perhaps for later inclusion of partalloc vs malloc. in any case, your new push works out of the box, so all's good.

@jghodd Thanks for testing. My first attempt to fix this had some leftover artifacts from my attempts to make partition_alloc work, which I did not notice because I forgot to test with a clean build.

Revision two, which I pushed yesterday, does not need any references to partition_alloc because it is disabled via the build system. I did test this on a clean build, so it should work.

@michaldybczak & @selmf - here's the PKGBUILD.
