For anyone who wants to make raw image data pasting work as mentioned here, please use webkit2gtk-imgpaste as the dependency.

Issues with nvidia. I had to edit the desktop file to run as

Exec=env WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 whatsapp-for-linux %u

Now it seems to be fine.

You can try to install libvoikko, hspell, nuspell, hunspell, aspell via:

sudo pacman -Syyu libvoikko hspell nuspell hunspell aspell

I get no way to log into the service on one of my machines, the app just starts "blank" https://i.imgur.com/DWVilFc.png I even nuked the .config entry.

Fiddling with the UI elements does nothing to get like a login prompt.

I only get two types 2 messages when running it from cli

TIMESTAMP: AcceleratedSurfaceDMABuf was unable to construct a complete framebuffer

Manipulating the window is also incredible slow compared to any other windows

On KDE/Plasma successfully built with webkit2gtk-imgpaste but doesn't start with an error of 

whatsapp-for-linux: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.74: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Normally in an up to date system, icu75 (core/icu and multilib/lib32-icu) is installed. Solution is to build icu74 and install alongside icu75. More here

This package consistently and continually sucks up ~2/3rds of a core's time and copious amounts of virtual memory (~100GB after 10 days of uptime) on my modern Intel laptop, draining my battery. The Webkit process seems to be the issue. Is there a known solution?

missing PKGCONF dependency

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Unix Makefiles". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.
