Version: 6.12.5
Updated version of this PKGBUILD is available at:
https://codeberg.org/fauxmight/webull-desktop_PKGBUILD

This addresses the issue @slondr raised of not being able to run from the CLI (in a dirty fashion): there is a wrapper script called webulldesktop (instead of WebullDesktop) that modifies LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

If you just run WebullDesktop using the desktop icon (instead of from CLI), the same modification was already being made in the original PKGBUILD's WebullDesktop.desktop file.

There are other things I tried to fix like linking against updated libraries and running QT in wayland mode. I did not succeed in either endeavor due to binary libraries in the package linked against the included older qt5 libs.

Doesn't seem to work when built as-is; after running, I just get

WebullDesktop: error while loading shared libraries: libwbcommonui.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am unable to launch browser links from inside webull, I keep getting these errors when I click on a link in the news section.

Can anyone recommend a fix or workaround? thanks.

Thank you for taking over this project.

To make it work one has to add the following line to the PKGBUILD file.

options=("!strip")

I've been also trying to get version 5.6.8 working in arch but I didn't succeed yet.

I've had a look with strace and it seems that it gets stuck in a FUTEX.

futex(0x7ffe6413a680, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 0, NULL) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) <84.534302>

This is after pressing ctrl+c.

I've been able to run it in a ubuntu 22.04 podman container but I still would like to understand why it is no working in arch.

@nihalani I gave up on the app already. I just added it to Ferdi and seems to work better for me anyway. Less things to keep open.

I tried it anyway in case it may help someone later.

sh -c works. I didn't bother trying bash.

zsh and no de (bspwm)

@gavsiu. Yeah I tried to get 5.6.8 working as well and was unable to get it working as well. Ill look into it some more and see if I can figure it out.

For 4.7.0-3, it seems like we aren't passing the command to a shell and as a result, is trying to read the variable as a program. Can you let me know what shell and desktop environment you are using?

In the meantime can you try changing the command in the desktop file to

sh -c "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/WebullDesktop WebullDesktop"

or

bash -c "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/WebullDesktop WebullDesktop"

Let me know if that works

I tried 5.6.8, but I don't know how to get it to work...

4.7.0-3 works in the terminal, but the desktop entry doesn't work. Anyone know how to fix this, so I don't need to run from terminal every time? I've tried using path and stuff, but nothing seems to work.
