@grawity: Just disable the tests, they fail anyway. Then you don't need any of the dbus packages to build.

Add this to prepare():

  # Disable tests
  sed -i '/subdir..test/d' meson.build

yochananmarqos commented on 2022-05-20 15:10 (UTC)

@grawity: It's actually python-dbusmock that's needed for the tests, see tests/integration-test.py.

abdulocracy commented on 2022-05-20 12:02 (UTC)

Please add dbus-python as a dependency. On a fresh system it fails to build otherwise.

Hi, today I tried installing this package using yay but it returned this build error:

switcheroo-control/meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Unknown linker(s): [['gcc-ar'], ['ar'], ['gar']]
The following exception(s) were encountered:
Running "gar --version" gave "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'gar'"

Is it something related to the package, or just to my laptop? And, in the latter case, how can I fix it?

Hi, its missing systemd as a (build)dependency, it doesn't build in a clean changeroot otherwise.

@brunelli: According to documentation, packages from the base-devel group should not be added as dependencies. We must install them.

brunelli commented on 2020-04-14 14:18 (UTC)

automake should also be added to makedepends (it's required by autogen.sh).

Unb0rn commented on 2020-03-08 18:59 (UTC)

I think git and libgudev should be added to makedepends. Otherwise it fails.

@snqlby I see this issue when using the lightdm display manager, but not on GDM.

snqlby commented on 2018-03-18 22:04 (UTC)

Looks like it doesn't work correctly. I used sudo systemctl enable switcheroo-control but I need to activate this manually every boot.

With this package installed on systems with dual-GPU, you can right-click on apps (while it's not running) in GNOME Shell's Activities Overview and choose "Launch using Dedicated Graphics Card" option.

Fedora 25 and later installs switcheroo-control by default.

Please, vote +1 to push this package into official repository.

Thanks

Installing base-devel, as https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Getting_started recommends, will also get rid of that error.

2017-06-21 Arch Linux If anyone have this error A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting... sudo pacman -S pkg-config Will get rid of this error Thanks

I don't know how to test it, but it should be pushed into official repository since Gnome shell 3.24 will depend (partially?) on this for the feature: [url=https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773117]Add a way to launch an app on the discrete GPU[/url]
