I maintain the latest built package at:

https://github.com/frealgagu/archlinux.t4kcommon/releases

compiling tuxtype, I got this error:

t4k_audio.c:28: t4k_common.h:129:4: error: cannot use keyword ‘false’

I found here a modification for src/t4k_common.h (ie replace

    126 #ifndef bool
    127 typedef enum
    128 {
    129   false, 
    130   true
    131 }
    132 bool;
    133 #endif

by

    126 #ifndef bool
    127 #include <stdbool.h>
    128 #endif

)

Then I was able to compile (AMD64, gcc 15.2.1).

For archlinux users:

• use a pacman wrapper for AUR like yay, or whatever you want, to get the PKGBUILD.

• Get the error for compiling t4kcommon, look at the paths.

• find the place where your wrapper use cache file (mine was ~/.cache/yay/t4kcommon/src/t4kcommon-upstream-0.1.1/src)

• edit t4k_common.h

• replace lines 126-133 and save

• cd to ~/.cache/yay/t4kcommon where your PKGBUILD file lives

• type 'makepkg -e' (-e is to prevent re-downloading the source and erase your changes)

• if everything is all right, t4kcommon is installed

• try to recompile your pending package (mine was tuxtype)

I'm receiving this compile error.

I was able to reinstall. My problem with the libRSVG test was because pkg-config was looking in my linuxbrew directories. After removing linuxbrew from my path, the package built. However, the text still doesn't appear on the menus.

@frealgagu Thanks for the update. I'm having a problem re-installing (after cleaning the sources). configure errors out, saying that the libRSVG test fails.

I use 'yay' most of the time for packages from the AUR.

@ArthurBorsboom my fault, the repository had private visibility, please try again and let me know if you have any issue.

Since compiling gcc9 takes forever on my low power laptop, I am happy to have binaries.

However, https://github.com/frealgagu/archlinux.t4kcommon/releases gives a "Page not found".

Many thanks for the patch. Sadly, I do not have the time to maintain the package anymore. I have disowned it, please feel free to take it.

By the way, upstream seems to have fixed this by marking wrapped_lines as both extern AND static -- which doesn't make much sense, since "extern" basically means "defined in another file" while "static" means "not visible outside this scope". Odd.

I feel like there used to be a way to upload patches and PKGBUILDs here, but I haven't used AUR in a long time...
