Please note that a debug option is disabled in this package.

To disable building the docs package, set an env: _disable_docs=y.

To enable the check() process, set an env: _enable_check=y. Note that it can be problematic in some versions/setups.


If the building process is getting failed on check() like

83/114 mutter:core+mutter/backends/native / native-unit TIMEOUT 180.01s killed by signal 15 SIGTERM

then you may want to do one of these:

0) Unset an env: _enable_check=y

1) Kill your pipewire session manager; killall $(pacman -Qq pipewire-session-manager).

2) Reboot the machine.

3) Pass a variable --nocheck to makepkg (which can be passed along with --mflags first if you are using paru) to temporarily disable the check() process.

4) Add a line options=(!check) to the package's PKGBUILD file to disable the check() process.

And try again.

@NettoHikari or anyone unable to compile with the following error:

lto1: internal compiler error: bytecode stream: expected tag identifier_node instead of LTO_UNKNOWN

You need to rebuild sysprof and then try again.

If you are getting errors like fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32' while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.

Please notify me in comment section if this happens.


The optional performance patches are by default enabled.

@Terence thanks for fast response. Creating an account on github and running the commands you wrote has helped! But i couldn't resolve my issues on Surface Pro 3 with stutters on animations.

@tannisroot @glorious-yellow thanks for the feedback, updated.

glorious-yellow commented on 2018-12-18 03:17 (UTC)

@Saren as a workaround for the workaround, add git config user.email "you@example.com" and git config user.name "Your Name" (without --global) into prepare()

tannisroot commented on 2018-12-17 22:28 (UTC)

Apparently, "Deliver events sooner" still does not work properly for some people. I suggest disabling it back for now.

If the build fails with *** Please tell me who you are. do the following:

$ git config --global user.email "you@example.com" 
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"

This is due to a (hopefully) temporary workaround to automatically apply commits conflicting with 3.30 branch.

Sorry @Pumpi I read your message too quickly, it's indeed what @Saren told you to do, I hope you've been able to make it work...

tannisroot commented on 2018-12-17 15:06 (UTC)

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/168 Deliver events sooner seems to work fine now with latest NVidia drivers. Not sure if Nvidia fixed it at some point or Daniel improved the fix.

@Pumpi For future reference, always prepend LANG=C before commands where you are going to copy and paste or otherwise log the output for posting.
