Arch Linux User Repository

BTW, the arch4edu repository is also providing the prebuilt packages of praat.

PSA: I've started hosting this and all its dependencies as prebuilt packages in my repository for those that want to install them using pacman without messing around with building from the AUR.

@linos I think it may be okoy to bundle it in this package since it's expected to work with it and the upstream project bundles it in their Debian builds. I've been aware of this, see the note at the top of the PKGBUILD.

At the moment I'm having trouble building praat at all; I haven't been able to bump this to 6.1.38 because I get a build error that I haven't yet been able to sort out.

If you can contribute to either of these two things I'm happy to accept PRs for this build over here, or just use git format-patch from this repo and post here. I'm open to adding co-maintainers too, I don't use this that often.

Could we maybe include sendpraat in this PKGBUILD? Or should it be a dedicated package?

I've replaced the gtk2 dependency with gtk3.

About the pkgdesc, I think we can use the descriptions on Ubuntu, "program for speech analysis and synthesis".

After changing gtk2 to gtk3, the build passed.

Package gtk+-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-3.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

@mhmmmaria I would probably work fine, but I don't have a system to test it on. I'd be happy to add it to the architecture array if somebody else can confirm that it actually builds or sends a patch for whatever changes need to be made. I don't want to just blindly add things to the array without testing that they build. Can you have a go at it?

Hi @caleb, I was wondering if aarch64 would work as a supported architecture, and if so, if you could add it? Thanks!

Does anybody know whats up with the alsa/jack/pulse dependencies? Given that there are separate makefile setups for each, and we are currently using the pulse configuration, de we really need the also and jack dependencies to compile? Wouldn't they only be necessary if using those audio profiles for the build?

@petronny I'm just a little bit confused be the various audio dependencies in this package. You seem to have some experience with this, perhaps you can answer.
