Arch Linux User Repository

Those symlinks are part of gcc. Do you have base-devel installed?

I had other error:

error: linker x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc not found

And this was solution:

For x86_64_v4:

sudo ln -s /bin/x86_64_v4-linux-gnu-gcc /bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc

Similarly, for x86_64_v3:

sudo ln -s /bin/x86_64_v3-linux-gnu-gcc /bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc

Hi @HossamSF, in order to be added to the official repos it needs an Arch Linux maintainer willing to maintain the package. The first step would be trying to get it into the community repo.

Right now unfortunately I cannot even compile it under cachyos due to this: https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/rust-from-extra-fails-to-run-librustc-driver-undefined-symbol-m-mutate-version-llvm-23-1/36518

Hi,

Why is RustDesk not available in the official Arch Linux repositories, even though the RustDesk GitHub releases provide an official Arch Linux package?

For example, the latest release includes:

rustdesk-1.4.9-0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

However, when I try to install it using pacman:

$ sudo pacman -S rustdesk
error: target not found: rustdesk

Is there a specific reason why RustDesk has not been added to the official Arch Linux repositories?

Thanks!

I got this error message during build, however rustdesk was still built and successfully installed:

Is this a problem?

The build errors from the scrap dependency are due to an old version of bindgen that is not compatible with Clang22. There's no need to install an outdated version of Clang as a workaround. Just update the requested version of bindgen to latest (0.72.1) like so: (and don't forget to "updpkgsums")

You may get some improvement ideas at: https://gitlab.com/es20490446e/express/-/tree/master/recipes/rustdesk

You need to use the oldest version of clang in the repos:

ClangVersion="$(
    pacman --sync --search "^clang" |
    grep --invert-match "^ " |
    cut --delimiter=' ' --fields=2 |
    cut --delimiter=':' --fields=2- |
    sort --version-sort |
    cut --delimiter='.' --fields=1,2 |
    head -n1
)"


ClangMajorVersion="$(
    echo "${ClangVersion}" |
    cut --delimiter='.' --fields=1
)"


CompileRustdesk () {
    cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"

    CLANG_RESOURCE_DIR="/usr/lib/clang/${ClangMajorVersion}" \
    LIBCLANG_PATH="/usr/lib/libclang.so.${ClangVersion}" \
    so ./build.py --flutter --hwcodec
}

Here rustdesk also doesn't build. I tried local makepkg but also in chroot with aur build -c.

The first error is:

error[E0609]: no field `g_w` on type `vpx_codec_enc_cfg`

followed by several others in vpxcodec.rs and aom.rs.
