So sorry, but I'm away from my computers again :( next window is end of February 2025 :(

EDIT: Your DirectFB issue appears to be a problem with DirectFB and not links. Please contact the AUR maintainer of DirectFB instead, thanks.

OK, finally back at my computers and I have a chance to update my AUR projects.

Links has been upgraded to 2.30 in the 4 months I could not access my computers. The latest version fixes the issue with gcc14. I've updated the AUR.

Tetrapyle commented on 2024-06-20 07:37 (UTC)

Thanks @RAMChYLD. Thanks @mgualdron, with gcc, using -Wno-implicit-int should also work. Maybe it should be cared of upstream?

Hi guys, due to new commitments and a big move, I will be unable to update any of my AUR packages for the time being. If anyone is interested in stepping up as a co-maintainer I'd be delighted as I cannot have access to my Arch machine again for the foreseeable future.

Thanks.

Under gcc-14.1.1, I got the following error during the configure step: C compiler cannot create executables. The fix was to add the following line to the PKGBUILD file as the 3rd line in the prepare() block: sed -i "/^main(){return(0);}/s/main()/int main()/" configure

@FabioLolix I am aware of the links-g AUR package and in fact I've used it prior, but that version does not support Linux framebuffer device, only X11. My main reason of adopting this is, as I mentioned before, I need framebuffer device support since I want to run Links in graphical mode straight from CLI (usually to do a quick lookup without logging on to DE).

Nonetheless I will remove the replaces line in the PKGBUILD in a bit. I need to clear out my mind first.

lks commented on 2022-12-07 18:27 (UTC)

@FabioLolix replaces=(links-g) was originally in the "links" package in core. For some reason, they removed it there. I suspect that there once was a links-g package in the core, ages before the apparently brand-new package in aur.

Also note that the core package includes a fb & x version as "xlinks" executable. So you can already use "xlinks -g" in framebuffer to get the graphical version.

FabioLolix commented on 2022-12-07 18:08 (UTC)

@djringjr @yenlegion you need to rebuild the package when you get an error like "can't found libXXX-XXX.so" instead of symlinking the new version to the old version

@RAMChYLD links-g have been uploaded to the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/links-g, please remove replaces=(links-g) from the pkgbuild
