I will maintain this until it stops working, but this package should be considered "legacy" and the new Reference Manager (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mendeley-reference-manager) preferred.

To avoid crashs when opening PDF's, and hangout on exit install mendeleydesktop-bundled which packages Qt provided by the upstream.

I have incorporated the changes you suggested. Please test the new PKGBUILD before I increment the pkgrel for everyone.

Not only is the plugin misplaced but also trying to insert/refresh references fails if the plugin is installed manually. Also mendeleydesktop is not able to find any installed citation styles. I think mendeleydesktop (and not libreoffice) expects to find the share (at least share/mendeleydesktop) and lib directories in the same place. Take a look at how they do it in the .deb, they also have share and lib together. I guess the icons and applications directories are not really needed inside the share directory and can be moved to /usr/share but I didn't test that.

So the share/mendeleydesktop/openOfficePlugin is misplaced? Where is LibreOffice expecting to find that directory and failing? I can't reproduce the problem on my non-vanilla system.

The way you install the program breaks the integration with libreoffice, it seems most things need to be put in the same directory and can't be split. This build section corrects that: build() { cd mendeleydesktop-0.9.9.2-linux-${_filearch} # Remove unneeded libs rm lib/libQt* # install program mkdir -p "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/mendeleydesktop cp -r bin "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/mendeleydesktop cp -r lib "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/mendeleydesktop cp -r share "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/mendeleydesktop mkdir -p "${pkgdir}"/usr/bin ln -s /usr/share/mendeleydesktop/bin/mendeleydesktop "${pkgdir}"/usr/bin/mendeleydesktop # install icons and desktop file cp -r share/applications "${pkgdir}"/usr/share cp -r share/icons "${pkgdir}"/usr/share }

Why both openssl and openssl-compatibility are required?

@alexcortes: The .install file prints some things about KDE in a terrible way: I just don't understand the meaning of the sentence. Maybe you meant something of the like (it's "Qt", not "QT". "QT" is often used for QuickTime...): KDE users may have issues with Qt themes. A possible workaround is to remove the included Qt libraries (/opt/mendeleydesktop/lib/libQt*).

@liusp Is possible to make a link from /usr/lib/libssl.so to libssl.0.9.8 and it's works. If make only a link to /usr/lib/libssl.so.0: "error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Unfortunately for others users can need the real openssl-0.9.8 to others packages and making a link from V.1.0.0 can take some issues for this ones. About Qt: since Mendeley run without Qt on depends is really a good idea for non-Qt based desktop users, don't take ~110MB of space unncessary. And, at my side, if i remove /opt/mendeleydesktop/lib/libQt* and use Qt instead, returns: (i don't no why) "Application asked to unregister timer 0x5000006 which is not registered in this thread. Fix application." Thank you!

@unlucu Both libpng12 and libpng14 are needed, and also the libpng.so.3 in /opt/mendeleydesktop/lib. You can use ldd to check which library file it uses. @alexcortes I think 'qt' should still be in the dependence list, and 'openssl-compatibility' is no longer needed. No matter you are in gnome/KDE or anything else, if you have qt installed, you will have all of the libQt* files for mendeley in /usr/lib. For the libssl, what mendeley needs are libssl.so.0 and libcrypto.so.1.0.0, while the openssl package contains libssl.so and libcrypto.so.1.0.0. Thus all you need to do is make a link from libssl.so to libssl.so.0. As a result, you only need to have 'libpng.so.3' and 'libssl.so.0' in /opt/mendeleydesktop/lib.

@unlucu It's very strange at my side. Sometimes Mendeley accept libpng14 only, otherwise no.
