v5.1.68 still works with a rebuild. the originally built package (5.1.68-1) from november threw the same error, which went away with a package rebuild (in may). i can;t get rid of the undefined symbol error in the latest version. yet.

Edit:

@pgoetz the problem will have to be fixed upstream. there is a reference to QMutexPool::globalInstanceGet in the masterpdfeditor source itself, vs. a library referenced by the app. i'm also finding online references to Qt5 changes where QMutexPool is/was to be removed. the newest version of the Qt5 API (therefore Qt libraries) no longer provides access to a QMutexPool class. we're going to need a new release from above before this'll work. v5.1.68 doesn't have the same reference and does still work.

Like for OlehL the program doesn't start on my PC. But the issue exists with the original software as well

Yes, I'm in the process of rebuilding the package. The version available for download now doesn't work. At the moment I'm working through the dependencies, as it's not at all clear that all of them are actually necessary.

It doesn't start.

@j1simon your instructions worked nicely thank you. Just to note that first I had to move the old /opt/master-pdf-editor-5 etc files out of the way.

@zwastik I have edited the PKGBUILD
This is all that should not be done but since the developers of this program do not do what they have to do, we (the users) have to do these dirty things in order to use their program.

First uninstall current masterpdfeditor-libs.
Download the new one with name PKGBUILD to a new folder and execute makepkg -sci in that folder.

From now on whoever has problems with this PKGBUILD should fix it himself or make a comment on the github page, not here.

This was supposed to be a temporary solution but it's been 5 months (maybe more) and it's still the same... In these cases I believe that the best solution is for users to move from companies of this type and look for other alternatives (which there are).

Thanks for taking care of this package :)

Thank you, it's always good to have statements directly from the devs.

My personal view is that the purpose of an AUR package is to ease installation of material provided by upstram. It should not break the system for sure but I applied the patch below and after that, all I had to do is " -S masterpdfeditor". That exactly matched my expectations. I'm happy that some folk look close and rant that it's not the way it shall me and perfect if the dev agrees and sets out to fix in in future releases. Thank you all!

On behalf of Code Industry as we already replied in numerous emails, we don't consider package with Qt binaries a permanent solution. This is a temporary fix.

At the moment we work hard on the next version. In order not to rush it, we've made -all package as a workaround until the next release, so we have enough time to provide certain level of quality.

Some of our answers in email could have been misleading, sorry for that.
