@FreeFull, @cosmo Of course it worked once makepkg-git-lfs-proto was installed on the host. I installed it into the chroot and still could not build.

@musta_ruthinas

You need to have the makepkg-git-lfs-proto dependency installed.

musta_ruhtinas commented on 2025-10-31 20:35 (UTC)

I only build in a clean chroot, no aur helpers.

@musta_ruthinas I just did a complete install of archlinux and it built fine for me. please try clearing you yay (or whatever tool you use) cache.

I cannot seem to be able to build in a clean chroot.

@bkuri niri msg layers works for me with the PKGBUILD as-is, your build must have been just really out of date. I will take a look at your changes, though.

Edit: I've taken a look, seems we'll be fine keeping the current PKGBUILD as-is

@FreeFull,thanks for you replay i will check my rustc

FreeFull commented on 2024-07-22 15:21 (UTC)

86kkd, seems like something is wrong with your rustc install. niri-git needs a working rustc to compile, so you'll have to fix that somehow.
