[Solved] libxft-bgra fails after trying to apply patches

Jocomol · 2022-07-13 07:42:27

I've recently installed Arch for the first time and now wanted to install larbs by luke smith. After the installation dwm should have been started with startx but I was greeted with the message that I should install libxft-bgra-git with yay.

When I tried that, yay asks if it should revert patched but no matter what I give as an answer, the build() function fails afterwards.

Now I would like to ask what exactly is happening, what these yay patches are and what is going wrong and how to resolve that.

Thank you very much

Post the complete output of yay in code tags and test whether you can reproduce by doing it with just makepkg.

Mod note: Moving to AUR issues

FWIW if this is an actual issue with the LARBS installer itself you should ask on their own github page.

Should I accept or deny the patches to generate the output that is most useful to resolve this?

By just cloning the git repo and running makepkg in the root, right?

I was able to get the output of yay. The output is just the version of then I reply no to all question as this was the only way I could get it with tee and because the always yes version doesn't really give more output.

I wasn't able to install it via makepkg as the (hope its the right one) repo doesn't have a PKGBUILD. I think I need further guidance to accomplish this

The patch is no longer needed as it has been merged into the upstream git https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib … 2c2e4a7d3a

Please read Arch_User_Repository#Getting_started then use the git clone url from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libxft-bgra-git and edit the PKGBUILD to remove the patch.

I will try this

Just so I understand this correctly: The problem is that a patch which is not yet implemented into the AUR Package has to be applied and if I want to install this I have to install it with a workaround?

If not, could you kindly explain what the issue is, I am trying to use this as an opportunity to learn and I guess having this documented also wouldn't hurt

Thank you very much

The PKGBUILD needs adjustments, to understand why reread the first sentence of loqs post {quoted below for clarity).
