Arch Linux User Repository

@swalladge i can support and keep things up to date cause i'm using this package. But i'm not a C\C++ dev, so won't be so useful as phi-mah could be. As you say i just took his patches and updated version.

@flops thanks! Would you like to be added as a comaintainer? (that goes for @phi-mah too, since after reading through the comments I see you came up with the original fixes)

Please update PKGBUILD https://gist.githubusercontent.com/flops/4c0a6f08d8c5155fe20255163c781ce3/raw/e635ad2b6bddf732e667a151a8fcc7a010200ddc/patch - here 4.7.90 version bump and fix for network error

I installed old gstreamer libraries and see that the binary from Toggl works for now, so I am not trying again. Thanks though, your work will surely help someone else!

EDIT: I did try it and it works great! The compile time stumped me too. Thanks again.

Yes, the changes described in systemlibs.patch are needed to turn off build and linkage of toggldesktop's own openssl/poco libs. Thus the patched PKGBUILD prepare function applies the new systemlibs.patch after extracting the sources.

In principle this should all happen automatically. Use a clean checkout of the aur toggldesktop repo and e.g. use:

curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/phi-mah/e597bb7b70ebcab9d3ae8152850cf864/raw/23114fe3887ab782a86e3934a12809d3444348f6/diff_to_aur | git apply

(When I do this, I get some errors of the type: <stdin>:64: trailing whitespace, just ignore them)</stdin>

to make all the changes that are mentioned in the gist file.

After that, just run makepkg. This way I got a working pkg. Lets hope that it will work as well in your case!

@phi-mah, thanks for this! However, for me I still get the ssl error with this build (with plenty of lines saying: SSL Exception: Cannot create SSL_CTX object: error:140A90A1:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_new:library has no ciphers)

Also, just to confirm that I have this right: the file in your gist has two parts: one a patch for the PKGBUILD, and the other the systemlibs.patch file, is it not? I patched the PKGBUILD, and saw the changes. I also removed these lines from the systemlibs.patch file and modified my PKGBUILD to update the last sha512sum (I realise I could have let the lines remain in the systemlibs.patch file and kept the automatically generated sha512sum e2084ecaf7ba3d3c630597450f5aff6bb65844002f2f7332a01228f0f0f0a2c8dae7b7af5f28063db63c5ce10dcd0b21d92adfb5fd8e25677e94eaa0c578c34d, but that hadn't worked for me so I tried it in the way I describe).

Ironic that a time-tracker app is eating way too much of my time in trying to get it to build right. The binary downloaded from the site doesn't work either since I need old gst libraries that are flagged out of date in Arch.

Yep, the problem is probably related with the openssl libraries used.

If I change the build files to make use of the poco/openssl system libraries, I benefit from multiple advantages:

• way faster build process

• build works in symlinked directories (poco related)

and most important:

• the app is working again!

https://gist.github.com/phi-mah/e597bb7b70ebcab9d3ae8152850cf864

Concerning the build process, I found the problem:

https://github.com/pocoproject/poco/blob/develop/README#L217

(I specified a dedicated build directory, which in turn is a symlink)

I am definitely not an expert in this field, but I tried to investigate the linkage to libssl.

ldd /opt/toggldesktop/TogglDesktop | grep ssl

/opt/toggldesktop libssl.so.1.1 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.1 (0x00007f3563963000) libssl.so.1.0.0 => /home/philipp/builds/arch-pkg/toggldesktop/src/toggldesktop-7.4.76/src/ui/linux/TogglDesktop/../../../lib/linux/TogglDesktopLibrary/build/release/libssl.so.1.0.0 (0x00007f3561dea000)

So there are still artifacts from the build process linked in (as well as the system libssl).

Renaming the build dir let them disappear:

mv /home/philipp/builds/arch-pkg/toggldesktop{,.bak}

ldd /opt/toggldesktop/TogglDesktop | grep ssl

/opt/toggldesktop libssl.so.1.1 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.1 (0x00007f28b683c000)

But it still results in the same error.

Renaming the ssl libs in /usr/lib is probably a stupid idea (I tried it anyhow :-)) but then toggl will not even start. And I tried to move toggls own libssl into /opt/toggldesktop/lib (initially it is not there) as /opt/toggldesktop/TogglDesktop.sh considers this directory in its LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

My toogl logs start on December the 13th, directly reporting this error. I don't know why there aren't any other events logged prior to this date. However on that same day, pacman pulled in qt5.10.

Openssl-1.0 got updated on December the 15t [openssl-1.0 (1.0.2.l-1 -> 1.0.2.n-1)], so to a time when the problem was already apparent. Downgrading did not help.

At the beginning of December, toggldesktop was still functional.

I suspect this has something to do with the fact that it bundles a version of openssl with it (and probably is getting built against it). If that version is very different from that shipped with arch, then we have a problem. Debugging help appreciated! :)

@phil-mah I can't reproduce the build errors you are getting. It builds fine for me in a clean chroot.

Yes I also noticed the SSL errors in the log (I haven't used Toggl for a while so not sure when it began). That may be an upstream issue - I'll open an issue on their github repo. [EDIT: on second thoughts that sounds more like an issue on openssl's side or the configuration...]
