I tried to make this package and got the error "A failure occurred in prepare()". I got past it by manually running commands similar to the prepare() function in PKGBUILD:

source /usr/share/nvm/init-nvm.sh
nvm install node
nvm use --delete-prefix v22.6.0
nvm use node
yarn install

I don't really understand what those commands did (they seemed to install node.js) but they worked for me.

I then ran into this error:

usr/lib/electron25/electron: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.73: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I got some help in a forum post and copied some old versions of libicu into my lib directory, which fixed that problem, but then ran into the same issue with libavcodec and libx265.

At that point I gave up. I believe something needs to be rebuilt, but I'm not certain what, and I don't know how to do it. Hopefully Antony knows how to fix this.

I have taken over this orphan. Build script and package version have been updated.

Tried fixing this again, and it still is failing to build. I've about given up on this.

I just use the flatpak at this point; I don't expect this to build anymore

The same error didn't fixed for 6 months now.

Getting this error during build of the package:

==> Starting build()...
yarn install v1.22.19
[1/6] Validating package.json...
error session-desktop@1.8.6: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "16.13.0". Got "14.16.0"
error Found incompatible module.

Seems like the PKGBUILD manually selects node v14.16.0 through nvm. This ought to be bumped to v16.

Doing so results in a build error for better-sqlite3, that I'm not sure how to fix though:

Alright, after a month of SSH being really sussy, I've got this working again. Please let me know if there is need of a node.js version change again.

sperg512 commented on 2022-04-10 13:24 (UTC)

Thank you, I'll apply this when I'm able, and also get auto-updating working while I'm at it
