Thanks, @tpw87 for your great investigation & straight/simple script.

Sorry for my delay everyone. I swear Vandyke follows me on Mastodon and plans their releases around my vacations....

Anyway, I've pushed the changes & tested them locally. The only note is that it does indeed seem that you need icu74 .... but there is a problem with that upstream in the AUR.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icu74

If you check, you'll see that the license md5sums / sha256sums do not match the license provided. So you'll just have to modify the checksums as the latest comment suggests, build locally (for Paru that's paru -Ui in the clone directory) ... then build this package and everything should work.

Some notes for installing scrt 9.6 on Manjaro

Some changes to the libs in PKGBUILD. I used the following bash script to replace the relevant lines.

          #!/bin/bash

          [[ -d src ]] || ( echo no \"src\" directory; exit 1)

          cd src
          PKGDIR='${pkgdir}'
          for SRCLIB in $(find ./usr -name '*.so*'); do
                  DESTLIB=${SRCLIB/\.\//"${PKGDIR}/"}
                  printf "       install -Dm 755 %s %s\n" ${SRCLIB} ${DESTLIB}
          done

The other changes are as follows. Note that scrt needs icu74, not the later versions.

@Trevor sounds good.

I'd recommend installed openssl1.1 separately. Seems like you have a pretty clean system :)

@kazaii Thanks! I'm all set!

I kept icu66 and only ran into one issue with missing openssl-1.1.

SecureCRT: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

kazaii commented on 2024-03-17 17:31 (UTC)

@Trevor it's really up to icu70 if it supports backwards compatibility with icu66. You could probably tackle this with a symlink.

https://man.archlinux.org/man/symlink.7.en

I think the cleaner sfx/scrt project is still using icu66. But the requirements file will roll back with the old PKGBUILD, making your AUR helper install icu66 for you. I personally removed it, since it's been orphaned in 9.3.

Trevor commented on 2024-03-17 17:03 (UTC)

Thanks! So I will need to install icu66 from AUR as well? Can this old version work with icu70 as dependency?

@Trevor ... do you mean the PKGBUILD? If so, of course. It's in the commit diff tree: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=scrt&id=83794b3019c3acce3a9b3fd70a62c718475a4417

Download the TAR.GZ from there and use yay or paru to build locally from your folder (ensure you have the deb/tar in the right place).

As for the binaries/packages from Vandyke? They offer "previous versions" on their website to registered/licensed users.
