Arch Linux User Repository

Here's a diff for your pkg-build to make it directly fetch the git tag for the version specified in pkgver, which makes the submodule update work normally (I also took the liberty to fix a few dependencies. Vulkan headers are never runtime dependencies, for example, plus the mixed qt5/qt6 dependencies):

    Update to version 5.0.0

You mention 5.0.0, instead of 6.0.0.

I rewrote pkgbuild according to the instructions on the project page. It says what needs to be done. "2 Run git submodule update --init --recursive from within moonlight-qt/". I have everything going. I'll see what else I can do. And where are the comments wrong?

Same problem as @ivanmara, I can't build this; are you sure there's a .git directory in the tar.gz you unpack? also, why tar.gz if you're building from git anyway? Lastly, your git commit comments are wrong (they don't specify the right version as in PKGBUILD).

How I build: cd into git clone of this package, makepkg -cCs

Edit: I REALLY don't see how this can work; the source is the MoonLightSrc package, which is not a git repository, so you can't do an submodule update on that.

ivanmara, how exactly do you install? I checked on 4 PCs, everything is going fine. I used "paru -S moonlight-qt" and built using "makepkg -sricCf". It is not going to be chrooted only. It is being collected in the system.

New update moonlight-qt 6.0.0-3 doesn't install with errors:

...
==> Extracting sources...
  -> Extracting MoonlightSrc-6.0.0.tar.gz with bsdtar
==> Starting prepare()...
fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: moonlight-qt-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
moonlight-qt - exit status 4

But 6.0.0-2 installed correctly.

Probably the problem is in the lines in PKGBUILD:

  cd "${srcdir}/"
  git submodule update --init --recursive

What can i do ?

I have finalized and checked everything in the Chroot, everything is assembled and works fine.

Hello. Explain why qconf is needed here? I've been building on several PCs and everything is going great. I'll test it again.

Thank you for adopting this package. A couple of issues with 6.0.0-1:

1. Need to add qconf to makedepends

2. Build aborts on QT6 Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: quick quickcontrols2 svg make: *** [Makefile:331: sub-app-release] Error 3

Suggest you retest in a clean choot environment Ref. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

Thanks again for volunteering to maintain this.

Orphaning it as I no longer use it and thus cannot test properly new release.
