Arch Linux User Repository

Newer zrythm versions require carla 2.6.0, which hasn't been released yet.

I have updated the package to 3.4.1. This makes it incompatible with your system installation of libadwaita, which is why this isn't suitable for everyone. Right now I don't have a better solution, because it looks like statically linking libadwaita isn't really possible currently. If you want to keep using zrythm on environments, where you can't remove the libadwaita package, I recommend using the Flatpak for now.

As libadwaita 1.2 is on the horizon, this packaging situation will get better soon.

the current packaged version fails to build in a clean chroot due to missing deps:

Run-time dependency lilv-0 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)
Looking for a fallback subproject for the dependency lilv-0
Building fallback subproject with default_library=shared

meson.build:996:0: ERROR: Neither a subproject directory nor a lilv.wrap file was found.

I have not managed to build the latest version of zrythm, without causing conflicts with the system installation of gtk4, libadwaita and gtksourceview5.

I also can't get meson to link gtk4 statically.

If anyone wants to hack on this, this is my patch for the current PKGBUILD:

I have reverted the last bump for now, until libadwaita 1.2 is available in the Arch repos. I think I shouldn't force people to use libadwaita-git

It's probably possible to build the latest commit, without breaking an important package. I haven't done this for my install, but actually I don't care for gnome-calculator. Consider to bump the pkgver and to replace the commit by the latest from main, if no important package should be affected for your install.

$ pactree -r libadwaita
libadwaita
├─gnome-calculator
└─zrythm
# asp checkout libadwaita
# cd libadwaita/repos/extra-x86_64/
# grep -e pkgver= -e commit PKGBUILD
pkgver=1.1.1
_commit=5ec9f624b23bf78b29dd708e77ccdfcee0a9867a  # tags/1.1.1^0
source=("git+https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwaita.git#commit=$_commit")

build configuration fails when looking for libadwaita >= 1.2. the arch repos currently ship libadwaita 1.1

@Scrumplex thanks, I have installed boost package and now it's building fine

porzione: Interesting. It isn't listed when running namcap on a built package. I am going to add it as a dependency anyway.
