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If makepkg fails because the checksum is incorrect, please flag the package out-of-date and I will update the PKGBUILD.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

Currently receiving checksum mismatch issues.

==> Retrieving sources... -> Found XnViewMP-linux-x64_1.4.0-rel1.tgz -> Found xnviewmp.desktop ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... XnViewMP-linux-x64_1.4.0-rel1.tgz ... FAILED

As such marking package out-of-date.

@spsf64: no problem at all, happy to try and help :)

@Corax: I understood your concern, thanks for replying and keeping this package alive!

Corax commented on 2022-12-18 17:52 (UTC)

@spsf64: right, I see the point. The main issue is that it is difficult to manage dependencies without depending on qt5-* directly: these can change overtime, and it should really be scripted to avoid breakages (qt5-webengine in particular has a lot of dependencies). Considering that most people will still have other packages depending on Qt5, I don't feel going through that hassle is justified. That said I'm very happy to consider patches to the PKGBUILD to go in that direction.

@corax: thanks for the update, however I tried without qt5-webengine and qt5-sensors and it still works fine, I think because these libs are already embedded in the .tgz. Sorry to comment again, but just want so save extra space (aprox 150Mb) when installing this package. Have a wonderful xmas!

@spsf64: sorry for that, I failed to realise that as well as updating the Qt5 libs, 1.4.0 moved from qt5-webkit to qt5-webengine. I've updated the dependencies accordingly. BTW you are right that these qt5-* dependencies are not strictly needed for this package, as we use the packaged libs, they are simply a lazy way to pull in all their own dependencies :)

spsf64 commented on 2022-12-17 14:24 (UTC)

@Ccorax, is qt5-webkit (which was recently moved to AUR) really needed? I compiled ver 1.4.0 without it and it's running perfectly! I did not find any crippled function, yet...lol! Thanks for maintaining this package. ps. maybe it is only needed for system-libs package?

The update from 1.01-1 to 1.01-2 fails.

PKGBuild is out of date again. Correct sha256sum is '3BC29C4F160D62BD2172C5BC7C6DFD793A2CAC921030BF767069618BB35DE44F'

Apologies for the delay updating the package, the 0.99.7 release happened at a very busy time for me, but I'm now back in business :)
