This is a split package. To limit which variants are built, change the _pkgs variable.

For example: extra-x86_64-build -- -- _pkgs=

The standard package is currently always built.

@debugrr Functional break or the typical need to rebuild after library updates? If you don't build in clean chroot, you would have to force library updates (sudo pacman -Syudd).

Seems to break after the boost libs update on April 25, haven't had a chance to troubleshoot.

@xiota

Does the Qt5-based package have the same issues?

No. Actual 260418 qt5 version still compiling and working good (after resolving minor issue with fresh gcc as described here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wsjtx-improved-widescreen#comment-1068038 or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wsjtx-improved#comment-1067947).

BTW, qt6 looks bit different, "feel" slow and sluggish on remote session, this is only inadquate personal experience.

Also there is no alsa devices avail in qt6, input device INOP/not fount every time restarting app.

I'm not sure that all problems is arch specific.

Is there is some issue tracker? Groups.io, sf, github, discord, maybe?

@xiota Thanks! It successfully built and installed.

@vpnels Package should build now.

Previous comment referenced problems a different user had with crashing, audio, and VNC.
