Thanks for the report @kekonyan!

Would you be willing to test the fix-dockarea-error branch? That would mean compiling Spatial Shell from source.

Alternatively, so that I can reproduce the error, do you have any idea what software is creating a “dock area” on your setup?

hi @lthms, I get following error on trying to run spatial:

I’ve updated the package to not use an Opam switch but instead system libraries. Don’t hesitate to reach out if something is broken for you.

Eh @vic_acid. I am so glad it works, and also completely clueless about what is the root of the issue here 😅. I’ll update the package shortly to make it the default.

Please, do not hesitate to let me know how your first steps with Spatial Shell goes!

Hi, @lthms! Thanks for responding (and for the app itself :). Adding the -j 1 to each of the make commands in the PKGBUILD seems to have helped--the package built and installed correctly and completely now.

For reference: in my makepkg.conf I do have MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)". Does make multiprocessing conflict with dune's building the app?

Thanks again for your help with this!

Hi @vic_acid! thanks for the feedback. Could you try to modify the PKGBUILD and add -j 1 to all invocation of make. I’m not quite sure why, but I think it might help.

I couldn’t reproduce your issue locally, so I’m a bit surprised by the error. I don’t quite understand why you are seeing this, but I had a feedback from someone else that passing -j 1 helps so… might worth a try? If it works I’ll update the package accordingly.

Running into an issue building the latest package (6-3, from 2023-12-31):

==> Entering fakeroot environment...  
==> Starting package()...
Error: A running dune (pid: 156565) instance has locked the build directory.
If this is not the case, please delete _build/.lock
Scanned 0 directoriesmake: *** [Makefile:7: build] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...

I can't seem to get past this. Everything seems to build properly but the final package step chokes. Any ideas?

I’ve updated the package following your remarks FabioLolix. Thanks a lot for the feedback, and sorry I didn’t read the instructions more carefully.

Hello, please add (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#Generic)

• pkgdesc=
• url=https://github.com/lthms/spatial-shell
• rename sources to be non-conflicting with $pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::

The package fails to build both with makepkg and devtools (extra-x86_64-build)

==> Starting build()...
