Please do not flag package out of date, unless it doesn't build. It's a Git package, the version is computed during the installation.

AFAIK this is effectively broken, since an ssh cert for mumbai.kapeli.com expired.

see this issue for more info: https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal/issues/1307

Hi. I am using Manjaro Linux, and I am running into these errors:

  • unable to satisfy dependency 'lua53' required by lua-bit32

  • unable to satisfy dependency 'lua-bit32' required by sile-git

I could not find a lua53 package, but the lua package is at version 5.3.5-3.

@briangordon I just performed a clean build and it builds just fine.
I built both from the GitHub repo and from this AUR repo with makepkg -s.
The issue must be on your end. Besides, latest commit was made on November 24th.

Doesn't build:

Edit: Ah, looks like it is a problem on my end, with qt using a system call that's not whitelisted: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51195528/rcc-error-in-resource-qrc-cannot-find-file-png

@trollixx I could be wrong but I think that's because ninja has a more sensible default for the number of jobs used. On my six-core machine, it uses 8 parallel jobs (you can see this by running ninja --help) so I'd guess it's two more than the number of available cores. make on the other hand, doesn't use any sort of parallelism if no -j option is passed.

I would guess that make and ninja would perform the same if passed the -j flag with the same argument, but since this is an AUR package that's going to be used by other people, using ninja seems a more logic choice instead of using make and hard-coding the -j flag.

trollixx commented on 2019-09-30 13:13 (UTC) (edited on 2019-09-30 13:14 (UTC) by trollixx)

@brainplot Done! Still uses Ninja, but now invokes cmake --build and cmake --install.

I am not sure if hard-coding Ninja is generally a good idea, but it does build much faster:

makepkg  10.03s user 3.08s system 181% cpu 7.217 total     # ninja
makepkg  128.70s user 11.90s system 466% cpu 30.107 total  # make

I ran rm -rf src/build *.tar.xz before makepkg to avoid fetching the code from GitHub.

@trollixx Thank you for the edit! I have a further suggestion. I know this is very commonly done across the AUR but I think that invoking the native build system directly kind of defeats the purpose of using CMake. Here's the PKGBUILD I was using.

This has the benefits of: 1) Not relying on whatever the default build system for CMake is. The previous version worked only because CMake uses make by default; but that's been addressed now by specifying -G Ninja explicitly. 2) Using the CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL environment variable (if set by the user), which is used by CMake to spawn the specified number of jobs (equivalent to pass the -j <N> flag.

trollixx commented on 2019-09-30 05:29 (UTC)

@brainplot I've updated the build type to RelWithDebInfo, which I think is more appropriate for the pre-release packages.

Also switched to using Ninja instead of make, similarly to the community package.

brainplot commented on 2019-09-26 01:16 (UTC)

Why doesn't the PKGBUILD have the -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release flag? I downloaded the PKGBUILD and added it myself but it seems strange since the stable package in the main repos does have it!

@nipsky the problem has been reported here https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal/issues/802 Seems like a regression in qtwebkit-ng.
