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Please do not flag this package as out-of-date if the only change you need is to update to a newer version.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.

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.

@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

10d214a (May 30) removed the main package from the provides field. This means that dependents (e.g. sway) will not recognise this package as fulfilling their dependency. Consequently AUR helpers will try to install wlroots. While this is probably harmless due to versioning of headers etc introduced upstream, it is confusing and to the user and probably not what they want. To fix simply restore the entry that was incorrectly deleted:

-provides=("lib${pkgname%-git}-${pkgver%.*.*.*}.so")
+provides=("${pkgname%-git}=${pkgver%%.r*}" "lib${pkgname%-git}-${pkgver%.*.*.*}.so")

rekman commented on 2024-07-14 12:10 (UTC)

May fail to build with LLVM 18 until an upstream fix is merged.

Thank you, TrialnError, hashworks, and q234rty. If you spot any other areas for improvement in the PKGBUILD, please let me know!
