@noureddinex I appreciate your work on the package, whatever was changed fixed my issue with the glslopt!

I am running into a new issue though, when its compiling it hangs and shows the following 3 messages after which it won't continue.

When I ^C this process, here is the Traceback message:

aur/zen-browser wasn't possible to get built it before I took over, that can be verified by resetting back to commits that time, I try to fix it in my free time but the package gets changed from version to version, if anyone have some suggestion or contribution to make, I'd love to pull any viable patches.

Since NourEddineX took over this package it has not been even possible once to build it. It's time it gets orphaned so somebody who actually cares and has the skill to maintain it takes over.

I am not sure if this is the same issue that ParisD is facing, but the package build keeps failing and exiting with exit status 4.

As far as I can tell it is because its failing to build glslopt v0.1.12.

Here is the first error message:

1:11.57 E error: failed to run custom build command for glslopt v0.1.12 1:11.57 E note: To improve backtraces for build dependencies, set the CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_BUILD_OVERRIDE_DEBUG=true environment variable to enable debug information generation. 1:11.57 E Caused by: 1:11.57 E process didn't exit successfully: /home/aces/.cache/yay/zen-browser/src/zen-source/obj/release/build/glslopt-dc354bbab778ec64/build-script-build (exit status: 1)

The compiling then shoes a lot of error messages, then exits with this: 2:04.17 E make[4]: *** [/home/aces/.cache/yay/zen-browser/src/zen-source/config/makefiles/rust.mk:525: force-cargo-library-build] Error 101 2:04.18 E make[3]: *** [/home/aces/.cache/yay/zen-browser/src/zen-source/config/recurse.mk:72: toolkit/library/rust/target-objects] Error 2 2:04.18 E make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... 2:10.91 W 1 warning generated. 2:12.89 W 3 warnings generated. 2:17.20 W 3 warnings generated. 2:20.35 W 3 warnings generated. 2:20.62 W 1 warning generated. 2:54.25 E make[2]: *** [/home/aces/.cache/yay/zen-browser/src/zen-source/config/recurse.mk:34: compile] Error 2 2:54.25 E make[1]: *** [/home/aces/.cache/yay/zen-browser/src/zen-source/config/rules.mk:357: default] Error 2 2:54.25 E make: *** [client.mk:58: build] Error 2 2:54.35 W 41 compiler warnings present. ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
