paru seems to have a bug when the package contains subdirs. your subdir contains one single file, would you mind putting it on top level?

 paru -S turbovnc

there is an issue with paru as well: https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru/issues/1135

Anything I could say about the issues with yay or turbovnc after it's installed would really just be guessing, as I do not use yay and have only briefly used turbovnc to make sure it worked after I made changes to the PKGBUILD. You'll definitely get better support through their channels.

Thanks for the quick response! Yes, it's strange - installations with yay went without problems on other computers with the same Manjaro version (all updated to latest packages) but on 1 comp this error persists. Here's what I've found: 1. Verified that both /usr/lib/libturbojpeg.so and /usr/include/security/pam_appl.h are present. 2. Tried building without a helper (by following the AUR wiki page), worked, no errors.

Do you have perhaps any suggestions what could be happening with yay?

Also now that it's installed on the client and headless server, I cannot connect. I ran on the server vncserver and get on the client when using vncviewer: "Could not execute /opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver -sessionlist". On the server this path indeed doesn't exist. And in .vnc/my_headless_server:1.log I see permission errors:

@terryer Hi! The errors you are getting are very strange to me. libturbojpeg.so is part of the dependency "libjpeg-turbo". It is located in /usr/lib if you want to verify it is on your system. And pam_appl.h is provided by the package "pam", which should be on most Arch systems as it is required by systemd amongst other packages. One of these being sudo, which is in return required by base-devel. pam_appl.h is in /usr/include/security/ if you also want to check for it. That being said since pam is directly required I'll be sure to add it to the dependency list.

However, I don't think that alone will fix your issue. Have you tried building the package without an AUR helper? The process is explained in the AUR wiki page in case you haven't tried it before.

After first yay -S turbovnc

@PlasticSoup, thanks for adopting the package. Meant to deal with the out-of-date issue for months, but life kept interfering. Cheers

Having just adopted this package, I have done a major rewrite of the PKGBUILD in an attempt to meet packaging guidelines. Note specifically that the config directory is now in /etc/turbovnc and a PGP key is now used to validate the download. You can import the ASC file included or view the "Digital Signatures (Code Signing Policy)" at the upstream URL.

confirmed that it's running fine on raspberry pi 3 too. however i had to remove -d32 from /usr/bin/vncviewer script. otherwise i was getting the following error:

libjawt.so path: /usr/lib/jvm/java-20-openjdk/lib
Unrecognized option: -d32
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Hi, could you please change arch to the following arch=('i686' 'x86_64' 'aarch64' 'armv7h') I was able to set this up on a Raspberry Pi 4 and that change was needed in the PKGBUILD.

Similar issue: I had to pre-install jdk11-openjdk before building (maybe other version would have worked also, but plain jdk-openjdk (19.0.2) was not sufficient), otherwise got a build error about not being able to find java. The PKGBUILD should probably be changed to include some jdk under makedepends.
