thanks for the patch Blaadick

I am encountering a build failure using paru. It appears to be a missing header include for Qt6.

The error occurs in src/libs/installer/utils.cpp:

utils.cpp: In function ‘void QInstaller::uiDetachedWait(int)’:
utils.cpp:60:5: error: ‘QElapsedTimer’ was not declared in this scope; did you mean ‘QBasicTimer’?
   60 |     QElapsedTimer timer;
      |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
      |     QBasicTimer
utils.cpp:61:5: error: ‘timer’ was not declared in this scope; did you mean ‘timex’?
   61 |     timer.start();
      |     ^~~~~
      |     timex

make[1]: *** [Makefile:49: sub-libs-make_first] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:48: sub-src-make_first] Error 2

Sorry I couldn't provide any further details regarding this issue.

It not compiles because out of QElapsedTimer include. This patch is fixes it.

@ytret fixed for QT 6.8.1

thanks @gci00 for the patch

unfortunately at the moment it seems impossible to fix it to work with QT 6.8.1. patches are welcome

I didn't use this tool for about two months, and now it aborts with this error:

binarycreator: symbol lookup error: binarycreator: undefined symbol: _ZN13QFSFileEngine14beginEntryListERK7QString6QFlagsIN4QDir6FilterEERK5QListIS0_E, version Qt_6_PRIVATE_API

I tried to rebuild the package but I get this error:

In file included from packagemanagercore.cpp:45:
remotefileengine.h:105:23: error: ‘QAbstractFileEngine::IteratorUniquePtr QInstaller::RemoteFileEngine::beginEntryList(const QString&, QDir::Filters, const QStringList&)’ marked ‘override’, but does not override

      |                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can anyone else build this successfully?

EDIT: It seems like an upstream issue to me, I have successfully built IFW with Qt 6.8.0 installed at /opt/qt6.8.0 via this PKGBUILD after replacing /usr/lib/qt6/bin/qmake with /opt/qt6.8.0/bin/qmake.

@Cebtenzzre fixed, thanks
