I try to install via "yay -S gmsh" but get:

Anyone knows what's wrong (or a work-around/solution or something)?

Sorry for the delay in adding the glu dependency, but I've been quite busy lately.

glu needs to be added to depends (not just makedepends), because both /usr/bin/gmsh and /usr/lib/libgmsh.so are directly linked to libGLU.so.1.

So please add glu to at least makedepends.

@gborzi Only because Manjaro did not pull in fltk-1.3.5-2 yet, which dropped the dependency on glu... Please test your packages on Arch before giving them to the Arch User Repository.

@lahwaacz Sorry, I missed the GLU error line. And realized why it went wrong on your system but compiled fine on mine. I ran Manjaro, and on Manjaro fltk depends on glu, so there was no need to add glu to the depends array.

@gborzi I can look at CMakeError.log but it does not necessarily contain information related to the error. It contains stderr output of the various configure steps, which may or may not be fatal. In this case, the file contains this:

Source file was:
int main() { return 0; }

As you can see, it was just testing some compiler property, which does not matter. The error message in my previous post complains about GLU, so I added glu to makedepends and depends inside package_gmsh and the error disappeared.

Please always test your package builds in a clean chroot before pushing to AUR.

@lahwaacz You should look at CMakeError.log to see what went wrong.

Version 4.6.0 does not build in a clean chroot:

I've never experienced anything similar. But I build on a 2*Xeon (6 core each) Workstation.
