IMPORTANT

Please do not flag this package as out-of-date if the only change you need is to update to a newer version. It is not needed because it always fetches the sources using Git and uses the most recent version without needing to modify the PKGBUILD — just rebuild the package.

Also, please try building in a clean chroot before assuming that the PKGBUILD is broken.

Currently fails to build:

../wlroots-git/test/test_box.c:139:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘fprintf’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
  139 |         fprintf(stderr, "NDEBUG must be disabled for tests\n");

Can I remove my Flag Out of Date? I only just noticed that this particular package "provides" the libwlroots library based on the actual version, not hardcoded.

Somewhere in the devel process of 0.20 wayland-protocols got added in the pkg-config as Requires.private. 0.19 didn't have such an entry.
Reading the man-page entry for Requires.private (man 5 pc):

Required dependencies that must be met for the package to be usable for header inclusion and static linking.
All dependencies must be satisfied or the pkg-config implementation must not use  the package for header inclusion and static linking.

While static linking isn't that relevant for Arch, the part about header inclusion applies? Should therefore wayland-protocols be moved into depends?

The current awk call in pkgver can't deal with the version being 0.19.0-rc1 instead of 0.19.0-dev. This breaks the pkgver so that the version is .r7459.867960d6f instead of 0.19.0.r7459.867960d6f.

I suggest the following patch to the PKGBUILD:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index 78997ce..47705ed 100644

Builds fine on aarch64

@graph that's what the rebuild-detector package is for, just remember to run checkrebuild periodically, or add a pacman hook for it.

Edit: it won't find everything, just the more obvious things, like /usr/bin and /usr/lib binaries missing their links.

yrlf commented on 2024-07-15 16:36 (UTC)

@graph: this is not an issue in wlroots-git (and IMO also not an issue in sway-git). If a library package is updated, you should probably rebuild all dependent packages in case versions/sonames have changed.

graph commented on 2024-07-15 16:15 (UTC)

Currently breaks https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sway-git because it is linking to the wrong libwlroots library

sway: error while loading shared libraries: libwlroots-0.18.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

rekman commented on 2024-07-15 01:14 (UTC)

Alternatively, build wayland-git incorporating the upstream patch.

Setting C standard to gnu17 seem to fix clang build bug for now.(gnu17 is gcc default)
Running it built with clang 18 for a few day with out issue.

Add CFLAGS 

"-std=gnu17"

Or meson argument 

-Dc_std=gnu17
