Thanks! Added now, sorry it took a few days to get around to it, AUR outages got in the way.

Please add xorg-server-xvfb as a dependency It took me a while to figure out why it wasn't working haha, thanks for the package (it's command is used in the .thumbnailer file)

No worries, and thank you again! Hopefully it should be good this time. If you're interested in taking over this package, I'd be happy to hand it to you.

(Note: these were all found trying to build this package in a clean chroot, only installing the listed dependencies.)

Hmm it seems that freetype-sys v0.13.1 actually cannot be built with a recent cmake:

  CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:78 (cmake_minimum_required):
    Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

freetype-sys has a shortcut: if it finds freetype2 installed on the system, it will use this instead of trying (and failing) to build the C lib. As a result, I think we should add freetype2 to the dependencies to make sure this works.

This also means that cmake is no longer actually required (since it's no longer building freetype2) - sorry for the back-and-forth!.

In addition, I think fontconfig is also required:

  The system library `fontconfig` required by crate `servo-fontconfig-sys` was not found.
  The file `fontconfig.pc` needs to be installed and the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable must contain its parent directory.
  The PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable is not set.

Both of these are pretty standard libraries that are commonly installed on any system with a GUI, they're just missing on a fresh base-devel install.

With these changes, I'm able to build this package in a clean chroot (for example using AURCache).

Good catch, thank you! cmake has been added now.

Hi! I think cmake should be added to the make depends. It's required by (at least) one of the transitive rust dependencies, freetype-sys v0.13.1.

It does build and does work to the same extent as it did before, which had errors when trying to thumbnail more than one file. Now if/when it gets fixed upstream the package will actually get that update, rather than being stuck on a fork. If you're saying that it doesn't build on your machine, please let me know!

So, ughh… can you clarify, please, what's the point of 'updating' to a thing that doesn't build or doesn't work?

scatterfish commented on 2025-06-22 20:55 (UTC)

Package updated to use the real upstream source instead of a fork. Unfortunately there are still errors due to glium 0.32.1 depending on glutin 0.29.1 which in turn depends on winit 0.27.5, which is affected by the "Creating EventLoop multiple times is not supported" issue. This needs to be fixed upstream.

With an updated package source, PKGBUILD needs a little change now:

-   rm .cargo/config
+   rm .cargo/config.toml
