If you are using Plasma, it is recommended to replace in PKGBUILD _plasma=false with _plasma=true to use additional KDE API feautures (this also adds additional dependencies).

@shatur, it was being hidden by the system tray. Noob mistake on my part. Thank you for your help. :)

@nintendo424, why do you launch the GUI application with sudo? I think this can be the root of the problem.

@matterhorn, @gflegar, done!

@matterhorn, @gflegar, thanks! This is due to the X11 macro conflict and the new Enum that appeared in this version of Qt. I will fix it, stay tuned for updates.

@gflegar I too ran into this problem:

It seems to be a conflict between the X11 headers (Xlib.h) and QT headers triggered by the order they are included. I managed to work around it with a patch to include all QT headers first, then the project headers that pull in X11, though it might only be necessary to move x11deleters.h:

I'm getting build errors when trying to update this:

/usr/include/qt/QtWidgets/qactiongroup.h:64:9: error: expected identifier before numeric constant

      |         ^~~~

Probably has something to do with the new QT 5.14 release.

@Shatur I know, maybe something went wrong or those were added after my first try... Now everything works fine :)

@dartheian, this package already has these dependencies.

I solved it by installing the 'qt5-base' package explicitly. Same for 'qt5-svg'.

@indarian, could you open an issue on GitHub with more information about your setup?
