@CjK libcanberra was added 2 days ago to depencies in the code, pkgbuild has been updated now, thanks

Trying to build latest master results in the following error:

Package libcanberra was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libcanberra.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libcanberra', required by 'virtual:world', not found
CC: gcc (9, 1)
The package libcanberra was not found on your system

@SolarAquarion @Vortico Fixed, thanks

kovidgoyal has fixed the below problem upstream, so the extra build() steps are no longer needed. However, python-sphinx is still needed as a build dependency.

A solution is to add these steps to build()

make man
make html
python3 setup.py linux-package

and add python-sphinx as a build dependency.

@FabioLolix there has been some changes upstream that needs editing of the make steps.

Like make, make man, and make html

@Trollwut I become the maintainer, apllied the things and this is a -git package, unflagging.

If you don't have time to update this you can add me as co-maintainer. I'm updating the stable version of kitty.

There are several things to be done in this pkgbuild, like

• updated icon path
• add provides and conflicts
• change pkgver to use git tags
• add dependency libunistring, see note https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty#note-for-linuxmacos-packagers
• add dependency 'fontconfig' 'libxkbcommon' 'libxkbcommon-x11' otherwise it don't build in a clean chroot

An updated pkgbuild can be found here https://github.com/FabioLolix/PKGBUILD/blob/master/00_AUR_fix/kitty-git/PKGBUILD

You should add conflicts=(kitty).

Wrong icon file path.

Should be: /usr/share/pixmaps/kitty.png
instead of current: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/kitty.png
