Arch Linux User Repository

Regarding my previous comment, despite deleting, re-downloading, re-making, deleting, ... about 4 or 5 times the other day, I decided to try again today, and it worked. Nothing has changed. Weird, but working...

Hello, I am trying to install as follows:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/linphone-desktop.git
cd linphone-desktop/
makepkg -s

I have worked through as many dependency issues that popped up, and now I am getting the following error at the end of the makepkg procedure:

The only think I can see that it may be is the lack of a CMakeLists.txt in every external dependency directory:

 
CMake Error at linphone-sdk/cmake/ExternalDependencies.cmake:419 (add_subdirectory):

I have beat my head on the wall for hours trying to figure this out. Any suggestions? Tks

I'm getting the same failure that @Flammkuchen raises. And the same changes/additions to PKGBUILD allowed it to build (though not work yet).

This package fails to build for me with the qt6 dependencies. If I change them to qt5 and add qt5-quickcontrols2 to the dependencies and meson to the makedepends, it builds and starts.

Thank you Nathan for maintaining this package

Sorry this took a while to fix, the PKGBUILD has now been rewritten from scratch to address several build issues and remove workarounds which are no longer relevant.

Thanks for commenting on this and bringing my attention to it.

It seems that something in Arch has changed and is now conflicting. I don't think it makes much sense to try to fix the 5.2.6 version now, as I assume the next stable version is around the corner. For now, I'm going to upgrade the package to version 6 beta, since this linphone-desktop version is quite old anyway (even though it's still the latest stable release and this AUR package should track the stable release).

I'm currently having some build problems that I hope to fix soon.

After applying the -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to the PKGBUILD, I'm getting a build error:

recent cmake needs an additional flag to build successfully

-DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5

add it into PKGBUILD build section:

build() {

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL=$(nproc) -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5

Hi Daniel, I've run into a problem installing this package, I've raised an incident request on the ArchLinux Forum - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=299835 for more details, sorry I couldn't break it down very well in the AUR package repository comments box.
