Thank you for maintaining this package I'm not sure what version exactly this started to happen but I'm unable to install the package, it gives diffrent error every time. I don'understand why

here some of them

@Richardk2n, the patch is accessible via this link: https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/pull/1624.patch?full_index=1

The current state of the package includes options=('!buildflags') to avoid a build error. However, this also disables user-defined build flags, potentially compromising security and performance optimizations. This option should be removed, and a patch like the following should be applied: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/miktex_format_security.patch?h=miktex-git

@Richardk2n Never used patches either tbh, but a quick skim of the wiki page seems to suggest that for a single-line change like this sed is probably more useful:

sed -i '16i #include <cstdint>' Programs/DviWare/dvisvgm/source/libs/woff2/include/woff2/output.h

Including that into prepare() seemed to do the trick, at least for me locally

@Grzzlwmpf could you please make a patch for the include (I don't have enough experience with using patches this way to do it myself)?

@heavysink would you please include said patch?

As it stands now, the package does not build aka is broken, so I think this is warranted. Given the track record of the MikTeX maintainer, he will probably not fix it (in a timely manner).

PR for reference: https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/pull/1624

cmake --build should be used instead of make -j2 because user may have changed the default CMake generator.

Also just tested, and manually adding #include <cstdint> to Programs/DviWare/dvisvgm/source/libs/woff2/include/woff2/output.h seems to fully resolve the build issue @mapatrapa mentioned. I've submitted an issue on the GitHub already, but until upstream updates, maybe this could be manually patched in via the PKGBUILD?

curl also seems to sometimes fail while building:

[  0%] Generating miktex-zzdb3-2.9.tar.lzma
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
More details here: https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the webpage mentioned above.

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:3907: CMakeFiles/gen-bootstrapping-files.dir/all] Error 2

That target is executing /usr/bin/curl -o /home/user/.cache/yay/miktex/src/miktex-25.4/build/miktex-zzdb3-2.9.tar.lzma -fsSL https://ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/miktex-zzdb3-2.9.tar.lzma

When running the command directly from the console, it threw up the error only once out of five tries. Maybe ctan is rate-limiting or something?

Since the last update there is a build error:

@heavysink, would you mind adopting some of the fixes I just pushed to miktex-git? They include:

1. Fixed hicolor-icon-theme icons installation directory: /usr/share/applications/icons -> /usr/share/icons

2. Fixed polkit execution path: /usr/bin -> /opt/miktex/bin

3. Fixed graphical sudo frontend execution path via symlinks: /usr/bin/{pkexec,kdesu,gksu} -> /opt/miktex/bin/. This also resolves the error reported by @zeeshanali1993 and @jolitp:

   No graphical sudo frontend is available. Please install 'pkexec', 'kdesu' (KDE) or 'gksu' (Gnome). Alternatively, you can enter 'sudo miktex-console --admin' in a terminal window.

4. Fixed compilation error due to -Wformat-security enabled via a patch. This also allows removal of options=('!buildflags').

5. Symlinked non-conflicting binaries: /opt/miktex/bin/miktex* -> /usr/bin/. I am also considering creating a separate package for all binaries (not just miktex*), which would conflict with texlive.

6. Updated dependencies according to namcap. While I'm not entirely certain about all of them, it builds in a clean chroot and normally, and appears to be fully functional in my workflow.

Thanks!
