thank you so much :)

I've moved the cargo git dependencies to the source array, so they will be fetched before. One of those git repos has a submodule and I didn't find a way to force cargo to use a local version of that submodule. So the build still fetches this submodule, but I've enabled shallow cloning so it should still use less bandwidth.

the rust build currently clones multiple repos, which is hard to cache, would it be possible to add those repos as depends to the pkgbuild, and rewrite the cargo.toml files to point at the local directories? that would be much easier to cache.

i am sadly quite bandwidth-constrained.

Can confirm the diff from the 04-23-25 comment still needs to be merged into this PKGBUILD; libsignal will not compile without manually forcing the java version.

java-runtime needs to be added to depends array: 

libsignal-client E: Dependency java-runtime detected and not included (found class files usr/share/java/libsignal-client/libsignal-client.jar)

Regards!

Need to force java 17 version to build, otherwise build fails with BUG! exception in phase 'semantic analysis' in source unit '_BuildScript_' Unsupported class file major version 68 (with Java OpenJDK 24).

Add the following to the build() function in order to achieve this on systems where also other java versions are installed: 

export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk"

Try setting the following env variable before building, that tells cargo to use the git cli instead of its included git implementation: export CARGO_NET_GIT_FETCH_WITH_CLI=true

When building with makepkg, I get this:

Set java-environment=17 in makedepends. The clean chroot build will fail otherwise.

AsamK commented on 2024-12-07 23:04 (UTC)

You need a newer rust version, probably using rustup update
