Arch Linux User Repository

Getting this error in a clean chroot:

  = note: /usr/bin/ld: /build/anki-git/src/anki-git/out/rust/release/deps/libzstd_sys-31396a3548e0e204.rlib: error adding symbols: file format not recognized
          collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

https://github.com/arch4edu/cactus/actions/runs/5750924259/job/15612081037

I experienced a similiar issue before https://github.com/bartoszek/AUR-cloudcompare/issues/18 .

Thanks, updated

A recent commit in Anki introduced the possibility to control which protoc binary is called via the environment variable PROTOC_BINARY. If not set, it will try to call the protoc binary at a place that does not exist. Please adapt the PKGBUILD so that the protoc binary from the python-protobuf is used. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone tried to build this package with docker?

For me it does fail with the following error. Not sure how to resolve this. All dependencies (including protobuf and python-protobuf) are installed. My build container is based on archlinux:base-devel. The full log can be viewed here.

This may be a Docker-specific issue, independent of the anki-git PKGBUILD file. Thanks for creating/maintaining that file!

Thanks, pushed an update! If something goes wrong, please tell me.

Anki has recently changed its build system to Ninja.

I applied something like the following changes to adapt the PKGBUILD in compliance with development.md:

Hi @DarkShadow44,

Just saw the pinned comments, and tried:

rm -rf ./cache/bazel

and then the build succeeded. Thank you for the help.

@DarkShadow44. Yes I did clean the cache from "~/.cache/yay/anki-git" before running

yay -S anki-git

Also, I just tried it again hopping to have different results as I just upgraded my Arch Linux system lately, but I still got the exact same errors.

@york Did you try cleaning the cache from "~/.cache/yay/anki-git/"?

I wasn't able to install anki-git. The following was the full log. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested anki 2.1.51 (from ~/.cache/yay/anki-git/src/anki-git/.bazel/out/dist/anki-2.1.51-cp39-abi3-manylinux_2_28_x86_64.whl)

To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict
