Arch Linux

http://lesstif.sourceforge.net/ says:
"In 2012, the motif source has been relicensed to LGPL, making the lesstif source redundant and obsolete, as its goal has been achieved, a free motif. As lesstif is practically unmaintained and has serious bugs in the copy/paste realm, I advice to use the Motif source instead of this source."

packages should really depend on openmotif instead of lesstif, and if people really want to use lesstif instead of openmotif, the correct way to do that is "provides=('openmotif')" in the lesstif package.

Ok, thank you for your investigation. But I got it by uncommenting it, so that is ok for me for now. But maybe the sed command needs some quotation marks.

Sorry, I'm not at all familiar with yaourt except what is written about it on the Arch Wiki page.

The error seems to be that the doc directory is not created and so copying files to it fails. I did look into the Makefile but canot find any difference to the other install targets.

I did test build/install on a freshly installed Arch VM and it does work using only makepkg. If you have any idea where yaourt differs from the makepkg way we could figure out how to fix the issue.

This is the error I get, I should tell I am using yaourt. I seems I did not get this error when I used makepkg directly.

It does build here I have to say. I will look into the issue and try to figure out building in a "virgin" VM - will report back as soon as I know more

This build fails as is, the sed -i -e s:doc/xastir:xastir/doc: Makefile line seems to break the build.

Here is an updated package, please test and report if the issue is fixed.

Hmm, unfortunately I cannot repeat you error - meaning it builds fine here. Anyway I'm updating the package to the current/new AUR standards and will post it here within the next days or so. Hopefully this will then build on your end too.

I'm getting a build error on this; looks like it's during some documentation installation: http://pastebin.com/Hwj6S2Qa

I did some research into this and think that is not possible in a PKGBUILD. Reading about the history of motif/openmotif and lestif respectively I think I could switch to openmotif with the next update.

Any input about this idea?

2.0.4 works for me, with openmotif.

Also, is there a way to require one of lesstif or openmotif, instead of requiring lesstif? This might be a PKGBUILD limitation, but I'm not sure.

Updated to 2.0.4

Does work here but please test and post results!

Latest version is 2.0.4, dated 2012-12-04.

This will not build with the current version of automake. You can rollback to automake 1.11.1 or build xastir-cvs.

I just needed to remove my .xastir folder. :)

Oh, make sure you've turned off any other maps, at least to begin with.

The initial screen is black on mine, and it takes a few seconds for the map tiles to download. It seems to be *really* slow at downloading tiles, for some reason.

Not entirely. It works here...

Maybe you could try renaming your .xastir directory, so it forces xastir to create a totally new one. There may be some weird setting preventing it showing up. Other than that, you could email me a tarball of your .xastir directory privately so I can test it.

Thank you. But do you know why I get a black screen on the map, when I use the online OSM mapnik?

Fixed, with a patch to repair the borked Makefile.am

Okay

This is 1.9.8 - it is *not* out of date as 2.0.0 cannot be built.

This package will not be updated in the future, unless upstream gets its head out of its collective arse and starts answering emails and fixing showstopper bugs.
