@unphysicalix: hi,
could you please tell me more about the context?
Which version of npm do you use? The system (wide) version or a local one?

$ pacman -Ss npm
community/npm 8.3.0-1 [installed]

$ npm --version
8.3.0

A local version (with its modules) may interfere with the app's modules.

$ which npm
/usr/bin/npm

If it's different, edit your .bashrc and revert the $PATH back
so as to not use local version. I've already seen such weird troubles.

Then in a folder save all the files needed: scratch3* > plain > save as...
And build the package:

$ makepkg

I've do it again just a minute ago and I didn't see any errors.

Hi @etaboon,

sorry for taking to long to respond and test: it does not compile for me:

> scratch-desktop@3.27.0 compile
> mkdirp ./dist && electron-webpack --bail --display-error-details --env.minify=false --no-progress

 -> error making: scratch3

the weird cache-dir comes from a symlink that I added:

archie@946a8a7dd355 ~]$ ls -lart .cache/
total 32
lrwxrwxrwx 1 archie archie   27 Jul 28 07:19 yay -> /home/archie/data/yay-cache

diskspace is more than enough

@gyurman: hi,
I know nothing about cross compiling, sorry.

If I were you, first I would give a try to scratch3-bin. See my post.

If it doesn't run, I would then try to make a direct compile so as to check
if the resulting package is usable, even if it takes 2 hours to compile.
If not, don't waste your time in trying to cross compile! It won't run any better...

If the resulting package is usable, only then I would try cross compiling (If I were you).

Don't forget to report, thanks!

How can I build with x64 system volunteer for aarch64? Same as distccd? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Distcc#Cross_compiling_with_distcc

@Gyurman: szia,
I think I found a way to successfully build the package on your device.
In fact you were almost done!

The output directory used by electron-builder is
dist/linux-arm64-unpacked because of your ARM system
instead of dist/linux-unpacked (for arch=x86_64).
Something I couldn't be aware of.

I updated the PKGBUILD: it reads now the system's architecture value
and should use the right folder accordingly. But it needs testing
since I don't have such a device.

After 2 hours build:

 -> error making: scratch3

From version 3.27.0-3 and later

Instead of using the windows binary, this version will build the app from sources, targeting Electron version 13.6.y.
If you prefer the other way, then install scratch3-bin instead.

Before starting the installation, please check your disk space, the PKGBUILD won't do it for you.

Total size of the build directory on my system: 1.9 GiB (2 009 713 885)

Tested successfully under KDE/Plasma X11 arch=x86_64.

Any feedback are welcomed.
