I have created a new package: xnviewmp-system-libs. This is exactly the same build, except that the bundled Qt/icu libs are removed. Please try it if you want to use XnView without the bundled libs, and discuss any issue related to this configuration here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xnviewmp-system-libs/. Do keep in mind that this is an experimental package though, and things may break when I try to fix other things...

If makepkg fails because the checksum is incorrect, please flag the package out-of-date and I will update the PKGBUILD.

The PKGBUILD now references the latest versioned archive, as a result of which it should keep working if a new version is released. However, upstream sometimes updates released archives in place, in which case the checksum will fail and a manual intervention is required.

@whoseos It doesn't work for me :/ Using the system libraries, it does launch but it crashes very early: http://pastebin.com/F464DCFD Do you have any particular library installed?

@whoseos Sounds great! As I mentioned before, for now the qt5 dependencies are useless for now... If it works using the system Qt5 libraries, then that's definitely the way to go! I'm going to review your patch and replacement script, if it works fine for me too I'm also going to see what can be cleaned up (like the packaged qt5 libraries) before updating the PKGBUILD :)

@Corax, xnviewmp is not able to use the system theme on KDE Plasma with the included qt5 libraries: http://imgur.com/a/uESZh. To fix this the application has to use the system's global qt5 libraries instead of it's own, which can be achieved by removing the qt.conf file and prepending "/usr/lib:" to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and QT_PLUGIN_PATH in the xnview.sh startup script. I've uploaded a patch for the PKGBUILD @ http://ix.io/1wnQ and the replacement xnview.sh file @ http://ix.io/1wnk . It would be great if you could include the changes in the package :)

@martinpoljak Great, adopted :) I've updated the PKGBUILD.

@Corax, if you would like to do, I do it; I'm maintaining it time to time as it's been orphaned. I've disowned it, so claim it!

Corax commented on 2016-10-09 13:37 (UTC)

@martinpoljak If you don't have time to maintain this package, I'd be happy to adopt it.

The current version of the downloaded archives is 0.83 (change pkgver accordingly), here are the md5sums : md5sums_x86_64=('3c2c5032a0be2b1f0976b50adad8c80b') md5sums_i686=('4673c827de8aa326761433b2eda85a6b')

@lmat The failed checksums are caused by the upstream dev not using versioned packages. You can use updpkgsums to fix this locally until the package is updated.

I just tried it out, and it fails to install with "==> Validating source_i686 files with md5sums... XnViewMP-linux.tgz ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!" I tried the post that grayich gave in PKGBUILD, but that didn't fix the issue. I'm not exactly waiting on this software, and I have many more to try for photo printing solution. But I thought I would drop a note here for what it's worth!

I'm wondering, why does the package depends on qt5-* at all? XnViewMP is shipped with all the Qt5 libraries it needs, if you use the startup script you don't need Qt5 packages to be installed. Or is that done to pull the dependencies of Qt5 itself?
