Arch Linux User Repository

I've tried on Ubuntu and cannot reproduce.

@nowayman: Thanks for your feedback. Something is fishy, since NYXT_INTERNAL_QUICKLISP=true is the default. Can you post the first SBCL line from the output when you don't set NYXT_INTERNAL_QUICKLISP? If should look like this:

sbcl --no-userinit --non-interactive --eval '(require "asdf")' --eval '(asdf:load-asd "/home/user/.cache/yay/nyxt-browser-git/src/nyxt-browser//nyxt.asd")' --eval '(when (string= "true" "true") (asdf:load-system :nyxt/quicklisp))' --eval '(ql:quickload :nyxt/gtk-application)' \
    --eval '(asdf:make :nyxt/gtk-application)' \
    --eval '(uiop:quit)' || (printf "\n%s\n%s\n" "Compilation failed, see the above stacktrace." && exit 1)

In @ElVirolo's output, we can see that NYXT_INTERNAL_QUICKLISP is properly set. However, we also see this:

 Component "nyxt" not found, required by #<SYSTEM "nyxt/quicklisp">

which is not true, if you look at the .asd file. My suspicion is that files got mixed up in the repository checkout. Can you clean up the cache, e.g. ~/.cache/yay/nyxt-browser-git/ and try again?

For what it's worth, I get the same error @ElVirolo is reporting on my Arch system:

Linux arch 5.11.16-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed, 21 Apr 2021 17:22:13 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm using the yay package manager, which stores the nyxt repository under:

$HOME/.cache/yay/nyxt-browser-git/src/nyxt-browser

Manually traversing to that directory and invoking make all still fails with the same backtrace. Running NYXT_INTERNAL_QUICKLISP=true; make all successfully builds. Seems like the nyxt component is not being found for some reason.

Maybe the issue is with the current working directory? I can't reproduce on my Guix System. I can't test on Arch right now, I'll see if I can reproduce on an Ubuntu.

The package fails to build here. Here is the output:

sbcl --no-userinit --non-interactive --eval '(require "asdf")' --eval '(asdf:load-asd "/home/user/.cache/yay/nyxt-browser-git/src/nyxt-browser//nyxt.asd")' --eval '(when (string= "true" "true") (asdf:load-system :nyxt/quicklisp))' --eval '(ql:quickload :nyxt/gtk-application)' \
    --eval '(asdf:make :nyxt/gtk-application)' \
    --eval '(uiop:quit)' || (printf "\n%s\n%s\n" "Compilation failed, see the above stacktrace." && exit 1)

Removing cl-pccre package before building solves the problem with cl-ppcre-unicode, may be of some use to someone.

Build fails complaining about cl-pccre-unicode:

3: (ERROR SB-INT:SIMPLE-FILE-ERROR :PATHNAME #P"/usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-ppcre/cl-ppcre-unicode/packages.lisp" :MESSAGE "No such file or directory" :FORMAT-CONTROL "Failed to find the ~A of ~A" :FORMAT-ARGUMENTS (:TRUENAME #P"/usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-ppcre/cl-ppcre-unicode/packages.lisp"))

The provided solution for the license works, but is nevertheless wrong. The licenses should be installed into "$pkgdir"/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/, not into a subdirectory of that directory, and you miss to install the second license covering the source code.

Building this complains about license. It can be fixed by changing install -Dm644 LICENSE "$pkgdir"/usr/share/licenses/$_pkgname/LICENSE to install -Dm644 licenses/ASSET-LICENSE "$pkgdir"/usr/share/licenses/$_pkgname/licenses/ASSET-LICENSE

The project has been renamed to "Nyxt". I recommend to drop "browser" in the package name: we should have "nyxt" and "nyxt-git".
