thanks, sorry for not checking the source code. I usually check just the compilation and I never notice the lack of eye-candy because I run awesomeWM. My bad, sorry. I will fix it and have it ready for some tl updated and then I will rel-bump it.

I've looked at the source tarball and I've notice that scid has icons included: scid.gif scid.ico svg/scid.ico svg/scid_app.svg So I guess you can use one of those instead of their website. Another thing I've notice in the tarball is that it has sounds. When scid starts it looks for /usr/bin/sounds and needs "snack" (from AUR) to use these sounds. If you want to include sounds you can put the sounds folder in scid's directory. Maybe link it to /usr/bin/sounds but that's not really necessary since it has the option to manually browse for sounds. If you decide to use sounds the "snack" package needs to be included at least in "optdepends". I see no point in changing the "pkgrel", maybe you can wait until the next release comes.

New version in out !!!! I hope this one does not crash with the engines you use :D

@kraxor Yes, downloading the RC sounds reasonable. Get it from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/scid/files/ and let us know how it goes :-D

@kraxor There is a new RC version. Perhaps you could try with that one

donpicoro commented on 2013-03-17 17:21 (UTC)

I cannot really come up with anything. I removed some optimization flags used at compilation time. If that doesn't help is probably a bug we should report upstream.

I did rebuild scid on my 100% up-to-date system and still have the same behaviour (crash on engine exit). Did I miss something? Can you guys help me diagnose the problem?

@donpicoro: Once again, could you please bump version number to force rebuild? Or maybe there is a better way to rebuild the package with the brand new tcl/tk. Rebuilding makes it work flawlessly, I tested that

Hi @donpicoro: Thanks for your answer. Yes, scid works after rebuilding it against new tcl/tk (guess it is my mistake, I'd recently started using pacaur and I did not notice that it doesn't really "rebuild" things when reinstalling). I think that you could simply bump version number to force "rebuild" throughout all AUR users. Thanks again.

@mrzeznicki: The PKGBUILD uses the following line to get the tk version pacman -Q tk | cut -f2 -d" " | cut -f1-2 -d"." Granted, it should read tcl instead of tk... my bad. They typically have the same version number so it doesn't really matter. I honestly do not understand what else shall I do "make this package work with current tcl/tk". I should automatically do it if you rebuild it yourself. I feel I am missing something here about exactly what you want.
