Hi, upstream dev here. Thanks for maintaining this!

Since the 6.x rewrite the build needs a couple of extra packages that aren't in the current PKGBUILD, and it fails in a clean chroot (builds only succeed on machines that happen to already have them):

  • depends: add qt6-svg - CMake now does find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS … Svg), and qt6-svg isn't pulled in transitively by the other Qt6 deps, so configure fails without it. It's also needed at runtime.
  • makedepends: add cmake - build() calls cmake, but cmake isn't in base-devel, so a clean build fails with cmake: command not found.
  • makedepends: add qt6-tools - provides the Qt Linguist tools; without them the bundled interface translations (German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese BR, Russian, new in 6.1.0) are skipped and the UI stays English-only.

Minor: qt6-location is no longer used by the rewrite and can be dropped from depends.

Everything else looks right - tracking the default branch and the CMake build() are spot on, and pkgver() resolves to 6.1.0.r0.gXXXXXXX now that v6.1.0 is tagged. Thanks again!

If you want to have a package based on latest source from git, you should rename and upload it as whatsie-git: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Rules_of_submission

Build issues are fixed now.

I have the same error and cannot find the package either notify-qt6

Failed building with:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:56 (message):
  notify-qt6 package not found and the src/libnotify-qt submodule is missing.

  Please either install notify-qt6 or initialize/update the src/libnotify-qt
  git submodule.

But there is no notify-qt6 package in the repository.

you either need to add libnotify-qt (the fork) as a dependency or init the git submodule

@Evil95 okay thank you 🙏

@hallom You need to install cmake. After that it works fine.

Problem after libvpx update. sudo ln -s libvpx.so libvpx.so.11 --> OK
