IMPORTANT

Please do not flag this package as out-of-date if the only change you need is to update to a newer version. It is not needed because it always fetches the sources using Git and uses the most recent version without needing to modify the PKGBUILD — just rebuild the package.

Also, please try building in a clean chroot before assuming that the PKGBUILD is broken.

I can't say that's even required now, as I installed the alleged requisite items, and it still crashed on startup here. I had to downgrade it one commit to r44.

@kode54 do you know what feature is required from mesa-git (respectively, libglvnd), so that we may switch to a released version when that feature is released? By "bleeding-edge", do you mean unreleased but in the dev repo? I think that depending on mesa-git is a big change.

Hi, latest commit now requires mesa-git and bleeding edge libglvnd, or else compositors crash on startup.

Listing a generic OpenGL requirement was never true anyway, as this never has, and likely never will, work on Nvidia proprietary drivers.

When applying commit ff8e6a6 Disable examples to avoid needing ffmpeg as makedepends, remove libcap, you forgot to remove the line -Dlibcap=enabled \ in build().

@Ferdi265

Thanks for the info. ffmpeg should then be added to "optdepends=" if one desires to build the examples. Maintainer, where you at?

libcap can be removed from the dependencies, see https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/commit/906c0766df2fec4bd32c316fd1b0d46fded5fc84#diff-969b60ad3d206fd45c208e266ccfed38

Thanks

@shoober420:

the wlroots-git examples optionally depend on libavutil, libavodec, and libavformat, provided by ffmpeg.

The examples seem to be built by this PKGBUILD, but are not installed anyway, so by just setting -Dexamples=false in the PKGBUILD this would not need a dependency on ffmpeg.

If the examples aren't part of the package, not building them seems to be a good idea anyway.

shoober420 commented on 2020-06-26 10:42

This package requires “ffmpeg” to compile, please add to “makedepends=“.

tbarblan commented on 2020-06-24 18:59

Could the xorg-server-xwayland package be either added as a dependency or at least an optional dependency?

@Rucikir:

  1. you should probably ask this in the sway-git package
  2. no, this has been there for a while now.

The real reason for your problem:

Archlinux just updated json-c from 0.13 to 0.14, which included an ABI break, meaning apps using libjson-c need to be recompiled. In order to not get weird crashes it is standard practice to change the so-called SONAME of a library when this happens so it just says "libjson-c.so.4 not found" instead of crashing somewhere. The new library is called "libjson-c.so.5", recompiling should fix it.

TL;DR: recompile sway, that should fix it
