zeal-git builds the latest development code from the upstream main branch. The package version (e.g. 0.8.2.r123.gabc1234) is generated at build time, so the version shown on this page is just a snapshot from the last PKGBUILD update. Please do not flag the package out of date because the version looks old. Flag it only if the build itself is broken.

Build failures: comment here. Zeal bugs and crashes: https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal/issues (mention you run a -git build). For the stable release, install the official zeal package from extra. Chat with the developers: https://go.zealdocs.org/l/discord

Since yesterday, zeal-git seems to require tomlplusplus at runtime (pacman -S tomlplusplus, should probably be added to depends).

I'm getting this since system upgrade to QT6.10:

CMake Error at src/libs/ui/qxtglobalshortcut/CMakeLists.txt:45 (target_link_libraries):
  Target "QxtGlobalShortcut" links to:

    Qt6::GuiPrivate

  but the target was not found.  Possible reasons include:

    * There is a typo in the target name.
    * A find_package call is missing for an IMPORTED target.
    * An ALIAS target is missing.

I Think GuiPrivate needs to be added to CMakeLists.txt's find_package and target_link_libraries

I tried simply adding the GuiPrivate library stanzas but the build then fails later on. I've created an issue upstream: https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal/issues/1727

I believe AUR package managers already do that.

No, they don't usually.

@SpotlightKid I added provides directive. As to the unclean build root issue, I don't think that is something package needs to address. People should ensure clean build, and I believe AUR package managers already do that.

The PKGBUILD is still missing provides=(${_appname}).

Also, when not building in a clean chroot, CMake will built this app against Qt5 and then the dependencies will be broken.

Here's an improved PKGBUILD: https://cpaste.org/?59647808f770962e#3k98aJY6aKrPtBskmc8nDqJJ4n5vmtLLBbcC2n6U7tBj

@wpd I've never seen that issue. Do you happen to have default Git branch name set globally?

I added #branch=main just in case.

wpd commented on 2023-08-18 01:04 (UTC)

I got a "fatal: Not a valid object name HEAD" ==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to be empty. ==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version:

To fix it, add a #branch=main to the git source

source=("${_appname}::git+https://github.com/zealdocs/${_appname}#branch=main")

I think some build dependencies are missing. I get the following error when trying to build the package:

The PKGBUILD is missing provides=(${_appname}). Without it, it won't satisfy the dependencies of packages depending on zeal.

Something has changed with the upstream repo maybe? Fails to build:

Cloning into 'zeal'... done. warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout ==> Starting pkgver()... fatal: Not a valid object name HEAD ==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to be empty. ==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: error: failed to build 'zeal-git-0.6.1.r271.g6c2160f-1': error: packages failed to build: zeal-git-0.6.1.r271.g6c2160f-1
