Hi, this is a git package, so can you please add git to makedepends as per the VCS package guidelines?

Hi, thanks for these projectm git packages. Unfortunately, chroot builds are broken without the 'git' make dependency, this restores the builds:

makedepends=('git' 'cmake')

Thanks milesdm! You're right - the projectM repo now needs the submodules to be cloned before builds will succeed. I've applied your patch - thanks again!

Not sure if this is the "right" way to do this, as everything about how AUR works I learned this morning, but the following change to PKGBUILD corrected the issue for me.

Hey prg,

I'm trying to build projectm-sdl2-git, and projectm-git is failing at vendor/projectm-eval. It looks like it was moved to a submodule 3 weeks ago. If I'm understanding correctly, we need an updated PKGBUILD that will grab the git submodules. I'd appreciate some help there, and I'll give it another shot.

Thanks!

UPDATE: I've updated the projectM SDL packages and they should be good to try. To try it out, install projectm-git, projectm-sdl2-git and projectm-presets-cream-of-the-crop. Then run something like:

projectMSDL --presetPath /usr/share/projectM/presets/cream-of-the-crop

OLD UPDATE; YOU CAN DISREGARD ALL THIS BELOW

the projectM overhaul in git is working really well in my local testing. you need to use these three repositories (projectM for the lib; frontend-sdl2 for SDL2 app; presets so it can run something besides the default projectM preset):

https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/frontend-sdl2
https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/presets-cream-of-the-crop
https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm

I'm going to overhaul these packages in AUR when I get a chance. Months ago when I was looking into this, there were some build issues in git, but those seem to have been resolved. But until then, these PKGBUILDs do NOT work and do NOT accurately reflect the current state of projectM git. If you are impatient, feel free to build it yourself or ping me with any contributions - I'm pretty busy

Thanks!

I don't think it's completely fixed yet: the projectm_set_help_text function that frontend-sdl2 is calling is not present in the current projectm git:

https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm/search?q=projectm_set_help_text

I might patch out the help text for now just so we can have a working build in AUR, but it looks ultimately the projectm_set_help_text needs to be implemented somehwere

Discord link is on GitHub: https://discord.gg/gaHtkQ3v

This error you see is being fixed, the API is being reworked for a 4.0 release. The commit https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm/commit/62cecb36d6c796771f84511347a5772b48162960 should fix that issue

Hey @Cyber; let me know if you have another discord invite or have any ideas for what I'm running into. I haven't uploaded my latest package scripts to AUR because i haven't got them to build yet, but I receive the same errors when attempting to build straight from git with cmake.

I can compile projectm-git just fine, but when attempting to compile frontend-sdl2 against projectm-git, I get some errors with projectm_set_help_text:

Any ideas?

Awesome - thanks for the heads up @cyber. I don't use Discord too frequently, but I will get on there at some point when I get a chance to troubleshoot some of these issues more
