Arch Linux User Repository

A note for users.

This package is quite complex. It MAY not be built because of OTHER issues. I always build, install and test it on at least two different machines. Only after that I would push a new version to AUR.

Please try some generic solutions before reporting of build problems:

1) Update all other packages (sudo pacman -Syu),

2) Clean up yay and/or makepkg caches ('yay -Sc', 'rm -rf /var/tmp/makepkg'),

3) Be sure you've got enough RAM (8 GB or more is highly recommended) and space on disk (at least 3 GB).

4) Is your Internet connection is stable, fast and not blocked somewhere?

PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE BEFORE COMPLAINING FOR LIBBOOST

When boost is updated to a new version and you see an error message about missing libboost*.so, you will need to rebuild and reinstall the rstudio-desktop package.

Build logic is slightly changed due to changes in upstream. As they've introduced new project format (quarto), it contradicted with standard Arch package base. In brief, quarto contains pandoc as part of itself, so it's pretty hard to keep together system pandoc and embedded quarto.

So I've "resolved" it such way: if there is "quarto*" package installed, then rstudio-desktop will pick it up and use. Otherwise (not installed), quarto support in rstudio will be disabled.

'quarto' is added as optional dependency.

Why is this depending on a binary packaged version quarto-cli-bin?

Hi, Did anybody have issues with build? One user has reported that git apply doesn't applying patches. == After some manual tinkering with makepkg I realized that git apply actually just skips both patch files because it searches for them from the root of the git repo instead of the current working directory == I've tested build on two Arch computers - everything seems OK. If nobody else complains for current release I'll change 'git apply' ==> 'patch -p1' with next major Rstudio release.

I meet this problem.

The PKGBUILD file after I modify.

Hi! Thanks for updating it.

As I said, I didn’t know how to get it to build anymore, so it’s great someone managed.

Could somebody adopt the package?

I've updated PKGBUILD and managed to build two last Rstudio versions successfully. You can get it here:

https://github.com/trap000d/aur/tree/master/rstudio-desktop

Please add gcc-fortran as a dependency, as it is needed to install packages (e.g. verification)

I suggested earlier that this package has a dependency on icu67. Can it be added?

If icu67 is not present, the package will run, but is non-functional as it cannot connect to localhost.

@flying-sheep and others - Thanks for all the work to get this functional again!

For me, the patch introduced in 990daee was the game changer. It compiles again. Thank you very much, @flying_sheep and @trap000d. You saved my day and not only this one.

Thank you for the patch @trap000d, this seems to work!

@czarlogic the log you posted doesn’t actually contain any specific error message, so no idea … but maybe it was that missing patch.

Hey folks, and thank you @flying-sheep for maintaining this package, I'm having a spot of trouble reinstalling (after a recent update rstudio stopped working and I tried to do a reinstall). I fear I may have something misconfigured, but I cannot figure out what.

Here are the last couple of lines I see:
