Arch Linux User Repository

dwl was updated to version 0.7, which works fine with wlroots 0.18

Arch now (i think this is new, but not sure) has to version of wlroots: just "wlroots" which is the current version (currently 0.18) and "wlroots0.17". But the latter one has its .pc file in a non-standard location. To get it work in a pinch: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/usr/lib/wlroots0.17/pkgconfig' then run makepkg.

Or add the line to the PKGBUILD. Look at the sway package, i got it from there too :) Sidenote to maintainer: the dependency to wlroots needs to be updated too.

Despite locate wlr_idle.h /usr/include/wlroots0.16/wlr/types/wlr_idle.h dwl does not compile :

Any idea ?

Modification to the PKGBUILD so it automatically applies patches that are in the dwl directory

optdepends=('xorg-xwayland: for XWayland support')
source=("$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::https://github.com/djpohly/$pkgname/archive/v$pkgver.tar.gz"
         config.h
         *.patch)
 sha256sums=('f03a260b169019ebdbfd6db1b19a3dc7861ba33609644581c530be019f22274c'
             'SKIP'
             'SKIP')

 prepare() {
    cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"

    # Apply patches
    patches="$srcdir/*.patch"
    for file in $patches ; do
       echo "Applying patch '$file'"
       patch -d $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver < $file
    done

Why is there a checksum for the config.h file? Isn't that file supposed to be edited.

source=("$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::https://github.com/djpohly/$pkgname/archive/v$pkgver.tar.gz"
        config.h)

            'SKIP') # change this to SKIP

Fixed, thanks!

The PKGBUILD doesn't support XWayland correctly.

# Uncomment to compile with XWayland support
sed -i -e '/-DXWAYLAND/s/^#//' config.mk  # This line is present
sed -i -e '/^#XLIBS/s/^#//' config.mk     # Missing, add me

Haha, I wrote the README... you'd think I would have noticed that. ;-) Thanks!
