Arch Linux User Repository

OTOH, "rules are for the guidance of wise men and the observance of fools". So now the PKGBUILD somehow, miraculous works.

And if I replace the Arch version by the latest gitlab/main, guess what: that works too.

You have the options (one of):

• Work out what the mystery missing dependency is
• Wait for Arch to update the repo version
• Install blueprint-compiler from gitlab main
• Build wayfarer from source by cloning its repo
• Use kooha with is in community

So far:

• On my (develop) machines, the PKGBUILD always works
• On a new install the PKGBUILD fails as described
• If I delete the Arch installed blueprint-compiler and build manually from the AUR helper cache, using the automatically downloaded blueprint-compiler compiler it works. meson setup build --wipe; ninja -C build

So there some issue with the Arch installed blueprint-compiler; it maybe has some hidden dependency that the older embedded blueprint-compiler does not.

• AUR projects are not allowed to install replacements for repo tools
• The older embedded blueprint-compiler 0.2 works. the newer Arch 0.6 does not.

Thanks, but can I please see all the output of the aurhelp session?

Thanks for the comment. Too easy to miss things on a development machine.

Thank you for this! I was unable to build without first installing object-introspection, you may want to add it as a dependency.
