If you are encountering a weird error while attempting to build, please rebuild the google-breakpad package.

This is a git package, it always pulls the latest commit. Try removing the cached PKGBUILD if you're having issues.

fengyifan commented on 2026-07-04 00:47 (UTC)

could we update this package to latest version?

Please consider letting one of the dank material shell devs (co)maintain this so it stays more up-to-date.

Hi, when trying to install the package with paru I encountered this error:

CMake Error in /home/myuser/.cache/paru/clone/quickshell-git/src/quickshell/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeScratch/TryCompile-cU8Gux/CMakeLists.txt:
  Imported target "cpptrace::cpptrace" includes non-existent path

    "/include"

  in its INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.  Possible reasons include:

  * The path was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and references files it does not
  provide.

CMake Error at src/crash/CMakeLists.txt:27 (try_run):
  Failed to generate test project build system.

I think it has to do with _IMPORT_PREFIX being "" on /usr/lib/cmake/cpptrace/cpptrace-targets.cmake:

set_target_properties(cpptrace::cpptrace PROPERTIES
  INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${_IMPORT_PREFIX}/include"
)

Building without cpptrace (-DCRASH_HANDLER=off, see https://github.com/quickshell-mirror/quickshell/blob/master/BUILD.md#crash-handler) avoids the issue for now.

It seems that the tag 0.2.1 in quickshell repo is in an unmerged branch (sigh), hence why this PKGBUILD still compiles to a 0.2.0.rXXX.sha when using master. So the problem is in the quickshell repo, not here.

If the master branch is the working one, simply change pkgver=master in your PKGBUILD to rebuild to the latest changes.

They should remove that tag altogether until it's merged. What a mess...

Hello, the upstream repository currently has new tags (the latest appears to be v0.2.1), but the current PKGBUILD is still generating a version string starting with 0.2.0.

This is causing "Out-of-date" warnings in system management tools like DMS, even when the latest commit is installed. Could you please update the pkgver or the metadata to align with the current upstream versioning?

Upstream seems to have moved to 0.2.1 recently. Thanks for the maintainance!

I hit another issue about "error: POSIX thread support was disabled in precompiled file" which lead me to this existing Issue: https://github.com/quickshell-mirror/quickshell/issues/491

Disabling PCH with -DNO_PCH=ON in the pkbuild indeed fixes the issue cf https://github.com/quickshell-mirror/quickshell/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md?plain=1#L172

cpptrace (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cpptrace) seems to be a new run dependency.

Can verify the vulkan-headers issue, but it's worth mentioning that it's a makedepend, not a dependency. Here's a fixed PKGBUILD:

@anasgets111 That's exactly the problem I ran into and installing `vulkan-headers' fixed it.

` Could not find a package configuration file provided by "VulkanHeaders" with any of the following names: VulkanHeadersConfig.cmake vulkanheaders-config.cmake
