Arch Linux User Repository

During build I got two errors:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
  to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
  to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.

  Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

it has been fixed by adding -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to the make command in PKGBUILD.

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE='None' -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/miktex -DWITH_UI_QT=ON -DUSE_SYSTEM_POPPLER=TRUE -DUSE_SYSTEM_POPPLER_QT=TRUE -DUSE_SYSTEM_HARFBUZZ=FALSE -DUSE_SYSTEM_HARFBUZZ_ICU=FALSE -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 ..

Then:

error: target not found: libjpeg
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
==> Missing dependencies:
  -> libjpeg
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

and it has been fixed by replacing 'libjpeg-turbo' instread of 'libjpeg' thanks to @cuysaurus.

I hope that helps.

Can @heavysink apply this patch?

Seems like " the virtual package libjpeg was intentionally removed from Arch Linux's official libjpeg-turbo update. Official repository packages now depend on libjpeg.so or libjpeg-turbo "

Hi! Thanks for maintaining this package.

While installing I that the following packages were missing in the build-dependencies: - bison - flex

Before installing these 2, the installation failed on my system. Afterwards it worked!

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?
