Arch Linux User Repository

Hello everyone,

There was been several difficulties upgrading the Joplin due to major changes in the build system upstream.

I have finnally got version 2.6.10 working with pacthes, but remenber:

• You may need to remove your src/ folder before using this version

• The patches are still not perfect, you must say yes to a prompt

I will continue working on this later today, but its usable and stable, please remenber you can always report issues on the github repository.

Regards, Alfredo Palhares

Hello everyone,

I will be renaming the packages to its final form.

• joplin will contain the CLI application
• joplin-desktop will contain the Desktop version

Also, please for problems with the package, please open an issue on the Github repo, its really hard to provide support on the comments section, you can also email me.

If you have problems with the check() function, just run makepkg with the --nocheck flag.

Thank you for your patience. Regards, Alfredo Palhares

As a workaround to this problem, consider installing nodejs-lts-carbon for building. Solved the problem for me.

Same here as @Nebucatnetzer.

Same problem as @Nebucatnetzer.

Hi all, Same problem as @Nebucatnetzer here for an update from 1.0.161 version to the latest

I can't install the 1.165 version. I get the following error even after a clean build:

./src/async.h:29:52: warning: cast between incompatible function types from ‘void (*)(uv_async_t*, int)’ {aka ‘void (*)(uv_async_s*, int)’} to ‘uv_async_cb’ {aka ‘void (*)(uv_async_s*)’} [-Wcast-function-type]

Error making: joplin

@masterkorp: Could you please try this config in a clean environment? Since there are so many people with the same problem, it seems that it is something specific to your system. Maybe change the path to an absolute one?

I also don't see why joplin.desktop should be anywhere else than joplin.sh and joplin-desktop.sh. All three files are included in the source, yet joplin.desktop is the only file located in the parent dir according to your PKGBUILD. Can you check where the joplin.desktop is located on your system? I would assume it is in the parent dir, hence why it is working for you and failing for everybody else.

Thanks again

On my opinion you should remove these files from the package:

• /usr/share/joplin/resources/app/node_modules/7zip-bin-linux/arm64/7za
• /usr/share/joplin/resources/app/node_modules/7zip-bin-linux/ia32/7za
• /usr/share/joplin/resources/app/node_modules/7zip-bin-linux/arm/7za

@masterkorp Yes it does, if I don't edit the PKGBUILD file it fails. I just tried it again manually before posting this and still received the error:

install: cannot stat '../joplin.desktop': No such file or directory

@saturn_knight But cloning and using makepkg directly? Does it fail?
