Re: Xmind Zen for Linux (Github) AUR Request.

This looks like it should be quite an easy package as it's distributed as a binary, putting everything in /opt and creating a symlink in /usr/bin should be all that's needed.

Please post what you've come up with so far.

Re: Xmind Zen for Linux (Github) AUR Request.

Does it work if you try:

1) install the "electron" and "npm" package from community
2) enter the directory the directory https://github.com/Xmader/xmind_zen_lin … ources/app (wherever you checked this out in git).
3) run

npm rebuild spellchecker

4) to try running the app itself, run

electron .

It looks like it does include one binary node extension, https://www.npmjs.com/package/spellchecker which is open-source so you should be able to rebuild it to link with the system nodejs. This is the only issue I foresee with using the system electron package.

If this works, then you should package that "resources/app/" directory as "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/xmind-app/", then install a script in "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/xmind" which looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

exec electron /usr/lib/xmind-app "$@"
