AUR Build Error

[hofq]

First i tried installing it using paru -S gittyup then paru -S gittyup-git and last with git clone git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/gittyup.git & makepkg -si
Always the Same error.
Do you have an Idea how this could happen?

[***@*******-arch ~]$ gittyup

This is the issue I was trying to fix a while back and #191 is work in that direction. The upstream project does not build properly on a host system right now, only the containerized build is known to work. I'll fix the AUR packaging as soon as the project itself has workable configuration options that allow it to build and run on a regular system (or if somebody wants to submit a way to hack around it I'm open to that too).

Is there any reason why it would be calling lua files from the build directory rather then an installed location in the first place?

@alerque @elman22 got the Aur package to work.

I had no Build Error, but after the Build the Software wouldn't run and through the Same Error:

Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

When building directly from AUR, I got the same error as @hofq. But then I tried to edit PKGBUILD using patch by patlefort from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gittyup#comment-872036, changed version to 1.1.2 and it is working now.

Many of the issues AUR builds were running into have been fixed in master, but they haven't landed in a stable release yet. I'll update the stable AUR package when there is a new release. I've also contacated the -git package maintainer with an offer to help get it updated. In the mean time if you're hankering for a build you can try this PKGBUILD.

@alerque this was the latest mr before the release mr. So it will not take that long anymore until the new release

Cool beans!

I don't think we're quite far enough along cleaning up the 3rd party dependency scene to move it to [community] this release cycle, but #314 sure brought it a lot closer. In any event even if [community] is one more release cycle off we should be able to get a pretty stable easy to compile AUR build going for this cycle (and of course I host prebuilt versions of all my AUR packages).
