Hi,
Regarding latest compilation errors they are common in both pamac and pamac git: "...The name child' does not exist in the context of GLib.Object..."
This happens due to Vala being auto-updated to 0.56.11-1 in Arch extra repo and this new version breaks pamac compilation. The issue is tracked on pamac Gitlab upstream: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/-/issues/1379
Solutions:
-
If vala is already installed (maybe as a dependency for other packages) in your system, you may very carefully downgrade it temporarily to 0.56.10 only for pamac to be built. Then you may update it back to 0.56.11-1
-
If vala is not preinstalled you can explicitly install it and then downgrade to 0.56.10 only for pamac compilation. Afterwards you may remove it since it is a build-only dependency. Repeat this cycle until the issue is fixed on pamac upstream.
