Could you please provide the libsignal-client-bin and signal-cli-bin versions? My supercomputer takes ages to compile them...

marcool04 commented on 2024-02-19 06:27 (UTC)

Yep thanks for the info. Here's my PKBGUILD for the C ABI called libsignal_ffi that the go version of mautrix-signal uses: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libsignal-ffi

Yes, this is just the java part (jar and jni so file). It would probably be best if you provide a separate package, I mainly maintain this package for signal-cli, which also requires a specific libsignal-client version.

Hi @AsamK,

Just a quick message as I maintain the mautrix-signal PKGBUILD, and the switch from a signald-based to a go-based build has just happened with release 0.5.0. It now uses libsignal under the hood. Am I right in my observation that this libsignal-client is in fact just the java aspect of libsignal? In the installation process of mautrix-signal, it expects libsignal_ffi.a which, unless I've missed something, is not provided by this PKGBUILD.

I've started trying to get libsignal to build with the terse cargo build instructions from the libsignal README, but I have some boringssl errors... Still working on those.

Would you consider rewriting this PKGBUILD so it actually provides the rust component of libsignal? Or would you prefer me to keep that separate in another PKGBUILD (if I can get the thing to build that is...), something like libsignal-client-rust maybe?

Thanks for your input, Regards, Mark.

PS: I know there is a binary release, mautrix-signal-bin, I'm interesting in an Arch Linux-built binary though.

@dreieck add -x javadoc to the gradle cmd in the PKGBUILD, fixed it for me.

@dreieck jdk17-openjdk seems, as you suggest, not to be needed, thank you

I can also build version 0.31.0 with the PKGBUILD from here and java-environment or just jdk-openjdk in makedepends.

So if anyone else need version 0.31.0 without being forced to use jdk17-openjdk, it can be done with this:

In PKGBUILD change: pkgver=0.31.0

makedepends=('cargo' 'gradle' 'git' 'zip' 'protobuf' 'cmake' 'clang' 'jdk-openjdk')

sha512sums=('a066ab3e654b4b9b31acd8fb603d8ad148f05c79f5003a3246311186b3169db699a7d4ca7925170de49eafa2768863243f69f0af46853e0435a235e06737dcac')

save and run makepkg --install

A note on Java version:

I successfully built (version 0.31.0-git) with just having java-environment as make dependency and having this fulfilled by currently most up to date jdk-openjdk version 20.0.2.u9-3.

So maybe jdk17-openjdk is not specifically needed, and java-environment might be a good make dependency instead.
But you could add versioned dependencies if needed, e.g. java-environment>=17 or/ and java-environment<29.

Regards and thanks for maintaining!

Build fails for me with Task :client:javadoc FAILED:

> Task :client:javadoc FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

I think cargo should also be added to checkdepends array.

Regardiing the comment from @yar from 2023-05-30:

This should depend on rust, not on cargo. There is no package called cargo, but rust provides it.

I think you are wrong. provides entries are exactly for the case that different packages can be dropped-in to provide the same functionality. cargo is fine here.

Regards!
