Arch Linux User Repository

@brody As you said, the problem is that aur/cmake3 declares extra/cmake (which is v4) as conflict which would mean a downgrade for existing cmake v4 users just for this package. Apart from that it pulls a whole bunch of dependencies like qt6 and emacs and confuses users by aborting the first time because of an unknown key. And on top of that it takes a long time to compile.

cmake3-bin, on the other hand, is a quick install, does coexist with extra/cmake and provides a /usr/bin/cmake3 binary which allows compiling this package while preserving /usr/bin/cmake for other packages which already need v4. I suppose this has been the reason why localghost suggested it, and I should have kept it in the first place. I've updated the PKGBUILD accordingly.

@localghost Increasing the pkgrel triggers a rebuild for all existing users, but the recent changes were just an adaption in order to make the package build for new installs. If existing users do not benefit from an update, there is no need to force it upon them. Their installs will continue to run perfectly. Of course, as soon as there is a new upstream release or the need for adaptions which affect existing users, too, I'll increase the pkgrel or the pkgver.

But then you aren’t using the AUR package “cmake3,” since that particular package doesn’t provide a cmake3 binary. (Or you’ve modified it.) Furthermore, that specific cmake3 AUR package conflicts with the cmake package, so the behavior you described in your explanation simply cannot occur.

I, on the other hand, build the package in a clean chroot environment, as described at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot.

This way, no unwanted cmake binary program interferes, which could accidentally be introduced by another installed cmake package.

@brody Yes, I set makedepends to 'cmake3', not 'cmake3-bin' as suggested by localghost. The command must be cmake3, accordingly. cmake invokes cmake4 which refuses to build the package.

And also 4.2.3-1 it should go to 4.2.3-2, 4.2.3-3.... with each commit Bro, can you make me a co-maintainer?

The makedepends needs cmake3 but the command is cmake not cmake3.

Thank you for the hint, brody, and thank you for the update, localghost.

As of today, to be able to build the project with current cMake and boost one needs the following build-file

  rm ${pkgdir}/usr/{README,LICENSE}

  cd ${srcdir}

  install -Dm644 ${pkgname}@.service "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/systemd/system/${pkgname}@.service"

Package needs cmake3 as makedepends to be buildable.

@mrxx thanks!

Thank you, marlop352. Added aarch64 as supported platform.
