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?

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'

< 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.
ptrxyz commented on 2016-03-07 10:14 (UTC)
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.

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 ;-)

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.
