I had to explicitly install 'xf86miscproto' in order for the package to install.

Package 'xf86miscproto', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Depends whether you had it present when building it: I get:

# namcap -i alock-git-2.5.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
alock-git I: Depends as namcap sees them: depends=(imlib2 libgcrypt libxxf86misc pam libxrender)

There is an AUR package for libxxf86misc.

libxxf86misc has been deleted but is no longer needed as a dependency here.

I had to remove libxxf86misc from the depends array to build this.

Thanks for updating :)

BTW. following line is no longer necessary:

sed -i -e 's,"login","system-auth",' src/auth_pam.c

since 'system-auth' is now the default PAM module used by 'alock'.

Please update the homepage to https://github.com/Arkq/alock . Currently it is set as the dead Google Code Archive. Further, the Google page is for the "old" alock version by mgumz, not the Arkq fork that is installed by this PKGBUILD.

I've stumbled upon some errors when using alock with the pam mechanism: pam_tally(login:auth): Error opening /var/log/faillog for update pam_tally(login:auth): Error opening /var/log/faillog for read Those errors don't seem to impact any functionality but for the sake of fixing it I've found a similar bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31544 Said bug report eventually helped me find a fix, which consists of patching the auth_pam.c file: diff --git a/src/auth_pam.c b/src/auth_pam.c index e7d2a11..36f32ee 100644 --- a/src/auth_pam.c +++ b/src/auth_pam.c @@ -88,7 +88,7 @@ static int module_authenticate(const char *pass) { int retval; password = pass; - retval = pam_start("login", username, &conv, &pam_handle); + retval = pam_start("system-auth", username, &conv, &pam_handle); if (retval == PAM_SUCCESS) retval = pam_set_item(pam_handle, PAM_TTY, ttyname(0)); I'll report this issue upstream as well, but since other distributions fix this issue in their package building I figured it would be worth fixing in the AUR package.

repository moved to https://github.com/Arkq/alock build() { cd "$srcdir/alock" autoreconf --install # upstream bug: Configure ignores --prefix option ./configure --enable-pam --enable-hash --enable-xrender --enable-imlib2 \ --with-dunst --with-xbacklight make } I'm not sure about this git link now, but https://code.google.com/archive/p/alock shows up. Also, Arqk version likes to segfault...

Dammit, I've just read the older comments, I completely forgot about the issue it caused a year ago. Anyway, I've been using this fix for some months now and it would seem that the aforementioned issue with imlib2 has been fixed upstream.
