Arch Linux User Repository

I'm still a bit wary of adding nodejs-lts-gallium as an explicit dependency, since it's not the only way to get a working build. For example, when using nvm (which can also provide nodejs 16) it can work as well. On the other hand, with the explicit dependency, there can be dependency conflicts with other tools that require a different NodeJS version.

However, for now, I can add the dependency. Maybe there's a better way to indicate this dependency (any NodeJS-version <19 should work I think)?

1.2.25-3 still fails to build in a clean chroot. Please add nodejs-lts-gallium to makedepends as suggested before. Then it works – I've just tried it.

I'm always building in a clean chroot, so I tried to add nodejs-lts-gallium manually to makedepends. But now I'm getting this error:

error: patch failed: src/partials/welcome.ts:174
error: src/partials/welcome.ts: patch does not apply
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

It looks like this patch has already been applied upstream. So then I've removed the whole prepare() function, and finally it works.

Yes, that fixed it! You are my hero today! :D

BTW: The previous issue I had with regards to patching still persists. My workaround for the time being is that I have disabled the BUILDDIR setting in makepkg.conf. So no building in ramdisk. But right now I'm happy that I can update threema! :)

@solnce: I think I know what the reason is... I suspect an incompatibility with the latest NodeJS. Can you try installing nodejs-lts-gallium (which will replace nodejs) and test if the build succeeds?

@dbrgn: I noticed that, too.

Yes, plain Arch Linux, installed by myself, no derivative anywhere.

Yes, everything is up to date.

Yes, I am also on electron-20.3.8-1, from the community repo.

I am absolutely at a loss here, too.

solnce: The two logs you posted are different from the errors you got before. Instead of a patch applying, you get a compilation error:

npm ERR! ../../nan/nan_callbacks.h:55:23: error: ‘AccessorSignature’ is not a member of ‘v8’
npm ERR!    55 | typedef v8::Local<v8::AccessorSignature> Sig;

Sorry, I cannot reproduce your issues. On all my computers, building works just fine. Is your system up to date (including the electron package)? You're using Arch, and not some derivative distro, right? At what version is your electron package? (On my system it's 20.3.8-1)

Same with 1.2.25-2.

The latest version still won't work. Log here.

Build fails here, too:
