@clu i referenced your fixes and suggestions to get the -git package back to working state - I also noticed there's a python module in the source so i included that in the -git version - feel free to take what you need if you want to reflect the python changes

Alright, here's a fix. This is actually newer than the tagged "6.1" but I want to keep something here that is working rather than a pkg that won't build. This is a recent (2024) git commit that still needs a minor patch (see PKGBUILD). This gets through build, a brief check of some binaries seems ok.

There is also a montage-git package, but it seems like it has been orphaned for some time unfortunately: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/montage-git

Once there is a working release I will update this PKGBUILD

Well, 6.1 doesn't build either. This appears to be addressed in some commits, but I'm not seeing a tagged/released version that addresses this yet. Will see what can be done.

Hi, the problem is, that Montage use included freetype library. So let it use system library and it will compile and run without errors. Patch and update PKGBUILD is here: https://git.io/vNyxF

Hi, I'm probably too late to help, but just in case... That `FT_Get_Var_Blend_Coordinates' message could be shown due to infinality-patched libraries. As these infinality libraries are no longer maintained, you probably want to remove them. A nice write-up on how to get rid them is here: https://gist.github.com/cryzed/e002e7057435f02cc7894b9e748c5671

Do you also have harfbuzz installed?

Still getting error like @Universebenzene

I see -- it appears to be caused by the library freetype which is included *locally* by montage in the lib subfolder. I would guess that a patch would be required to build the local freetype without harfbuzz support. It is unclear to me what the fonts contained in data are for. They are not mentioned in the documentation from what I can see. I have not had issues but I do not use all montage features. The only man files that I see after build are for the libraries that montage has included with source for build. They are not documentation for montage and are therefore not installed.

@clu However I got this error: /usr/lib/libharfbuzz.so.0: undefined reference to `FT_Get_Var_Blend_Coordinates' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [Makefile:25: mViewer] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '(path-to-tmp)/yaourt-tmp-benzene/aur-montage/src/Montage/util/Viewer' make[2]: Entering directory '(path-to-tmp)/yaourt-tmp-benzene/aur-montage/src/Montage/util/Viewer' cp mViewer mHistogram ../../bin cp: cannot stat 'mViewer': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat 'mHistogram': No such file or directory make[2]: *** [Makefile:34: install] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '(path-to-tmp)/yaourt-tmp-benzene/aur-montage/src/Montage/util/Viewer' make[1]: *** [Makefile:20: all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '(path-to-tmp)/yaourt-tmp-benzene/aur-montage/src/Montage/util' make: *** [Makefile:6: all] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build montage. Which likely caused by harfbuzz. I googled and found that lots of people got similar errors caused by infinality, but I've never installed infinality and none of other packages went wrong before. Finally I downgrade harfbuzz and harfbuzz-icu to 1.3.4 and then the build passed. It might related to some fonts in the montage, but I'm not sure. BTW, there are lots of files(including some images and fonts) in other directories after make, such as data and man. Are these files necessary to be also in the package?
