Arch Linux User Repository

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If makepkg fails because the checksum is incorrect, please flag the package out-of-date and I will update the PKGBUILD.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

With the current version you need to 1) Symlink the tar to so that makepkg succeeds 2) The "Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/xnviewmp" (Permission denied)" happens because the file is a tar. Just extract it and move it back.

I run manjaro 15.12 32bit and even after I got this AUR to work, editing two lines in PKGBUILD, diff: 28c28 < md5sums_i686=('947e7f3c8d1d63109d8d6a7fb70bfedb' --- > md5sums_i686=('02ddd03073564baac32ff8f4c2a59667' 47c47 < zcat "${srcdir}/XnView-archx32.gz" > "${pkgdir}/opt/${pkgname}/XnView" --- > zcat "${srcdir}/XnViewMP-linux.tgz" > "${pkgdir}/opt/${pkgname}/XnView" I ended up with ---- Failed to execute command "/usr/bin/xnviewmp %F". Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/xnviewmp" (Permission denied) ---- When I started the binary /opt/xnviewmp/XnView directly, I got: ---- This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb". Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Aborted (core dumped) ---- libxcb is installed and AFAIK all the dependencies of /opt/xcnviewmp/lib/platforms/libqxcb.so are satisfied (ldd /opt/xcnviewmp/lib/platforms/libqxcb.so). The only way to get XnViewMP working was using the 0.76 binary from here: http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=32303 AFAIK you can delete the installed package afterwards with sudo pacman -R xnviewmp I made a launcher to the binary, that's it!

It's not my pkgbuild. I recently adopted this package, and I've been really busy. I'm going to orphan it, you can take it over.

Your pkgbuild is buggy. According to the specs (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#noextract) the "noextract" array should not contain URLs but only filenames. In addition I have no idea if XnView-archx??.gz is needed or not but if so, add it to the source array and fix the noextract array to only contain the filenames instead of the URLs. Find an example here: http://ix.io/pvk

Please, fix the package, it has been crashing since like last year, seriously. ==> Starting package()... gzip: /tmp/yaourt-tmp-tastyminerals/aur-xnviewmp/src/XnView-archx64.gz: No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package(). Aborting... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build xnviewmp. ==> Restart building xnviewmp ? [y/N]

The following block from PKGBUILD should be removed now: --------- if [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] ; then zcat "${srcdir}/XnView-archx64.gz" > "${pkgdir}/opt/${pkgname}/XnView" else zcat "${srcdir}/XnView-archx32.gz" > "${pkgdir}/opt/${pkgname}/XnView" fi ---------

gzip searches XnView-archx64.gz but exists only XnViewMP-linux-x64.tgz ;-)

I don't think the XnView-archx64 file is needed anymore. I'm just running the base package and everything except videos seem to work fine, and I don't think videos have ever worked for me with this program.

happycadaver, thnx :-)
