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If makepkg fails because the checksum is incorrect, please flag the package out-of-date and I will update the PKGBUILD.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

@fuan_k: awesome! Did he comment about that on the forum? Can't see anything in General Support.

Good news, the xnviewmp author has looked into it and has it fixed in an upcoming version! No more fontconfig errors (just tried it myself). :D

@fuan_k: not much I can do about the font glitch I'm afraid, there's probably something wrong about how XnView uses fontconfig :/ Regarding the fontconfig breakage, I'll give it some more time before I hack the PKGBUILD. An Archer has reported the issue on the forum, we'll see how it goes: https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=36326

It's funny because the fontconfig error always mentions a totally different line for each xnviewmp instance. @Corax: thanks again for maintaining this package. It might be wise to add the workaround to the PKGBUILD (and perhaps document it in comments). For me I found the old package in /var/cache/pacman, and I did not have 1.10.0 as I skipped an update :P. Would it be a good idea to ask the author of XnviewMP to include his own fontconfig in the package? I'm still trying to fix this stupid font glitch from forever ago. Edit: I got it to work after downgrading to libfontconfig.so.1.9.4 and using this shell script: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:$dirname/Plugins" export QT_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/lib:$dirname/lib:/usr/lib/qt/plugins" export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH="$dirname/lib/platforms/" QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct exec "$dirname/XnView" "$@" Still looking for a way to preload these libs without downgrading my entire system and not segfault xnview. Edit: I give up. For now, the font glitch is here to stay until I try again. ugh.

Corax, that fixed it.

@porzione @OldNuc: you're right, I've got exactly the same problem. To avoid having to downgrade fontconfig system-wide, the trick I'm using for now is to put the previous version of fontconfig in lib/: $ cd /tmp $ tar xvf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/fontconfig-2.12.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.10.0 $ sudo mv usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.10.0 /opt/xnviewmp/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 If the problem persists, I could add this kind of workaround to the PKGBUILD.

OldNuc commented on 2017-09-22 12:29 (UTC)

fontconfig-2.12.6-1 breaks all fonts. specifically with this error: Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 43631311: syntax error Fontconfig error: Cannot load config file from /etc/fonts/fonts.conf

porzione commented on 2017-09-22 12:06 (UTC)

With latest fontconfig-2.12.6-1 there are no more visible fonts in xnviewmp and xnviewmp-system-libs too, just empty spaces. Quick fix - downgrade to fontconfig-2.12.5-1.

@Slobodan: indeed, something's got really wrong with the permissions, and if folders don't have the right permissions I'm not surprised a segfault happens (it probably links against the system libraries). To rule out any yaourt configuration issue, could you try building with makepkg directly (assuming /tmp is a tmpfs, which is the default): $ cd /tmp $ wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/xnviewmp.tar.gz $ tar xvf xnviewmp.tar.gz $ cd xnviewmp $ makepkg -i And then check the permissions (all files should be either 755 or 644). If the permissions are still wrong, please post the output of `bsdtar tvf /tmp/xnviewmp/xnviewmp-0.86-1-x86_64.pkg.tar`.
