Problem building pamac-aur

acquanero1971 · 2019-01-24 23:08:04

Hello all,
This is my first experience with arch linux. I installed succefully arch with xfce4 desktop after reading the wiki. I'm really enjoyning everything I'm learning. Now I want to install pamac-aur for a more user-friendly experience (I'm not the only one that use this computer) but I cannot build the pamac-aur neither install it with yay. I keep getting this error. I readed the code inside the package.vala file (from where the error is coming) but I cannot fully understand how to solve it.

Firs comment on the AUR page…

Thanks. When I checked the aur page a few days ago there was nothing there. So should I install a previous version of vala? or should I wait for a patch?

If you've no other use for vala you can use an older version until there's a patch.
