Arch Linux User Repository

Well, I've found something interesting. Actually splitting package to examples and base doesn't break fldigi. But exclusion of some dependencies breaks it completely. I've compared lddtree output of /usr/bin/fldigi executable with fltk-1.3.5-1 and fltk-1.3.5-2 installed and that's the difference between two outputs (fldigi lacks these libs when fltk-1.3.5-2 is installed):

        libXinerama.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1
        libXcursor.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1
        libXrender.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXrender.so.1
        libXft.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXft.so.2
            libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6
                libbz2.so.1.0 => /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1.0
                libharfbuzz.so.0 => /usr/lib/libharfbuzz.so.0
                libfreetype.so.6 => !!! circular loop !!!
                    libgraphite2.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgraphite2.so.3
                    libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
                        libpcre.so.1 => /usr/lib/libpcre.so.1
        libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1
            libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1

And this is modified PKGBUILD which works just fine (you could try it):

I've requested re-opening of bug mentioned by @Dieter9 so will see if David will try to fix it

I had the same problems like dviktor. It was clearly related to the update of the packet fltk. I wrote a bug-report for fltk: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67089?string=fltk&project=0&search_name=&type%5B0%5D=&sev%5B0%5D=&pri%5B0%5D=&due%5B0%5D=&reported%5B0%5D=&cat%5B0%5D=&status%5B0%5D=&percent%5B0%5D=&opened=&dev=&closed=&duedatefrom=&duedateto=&changedfrom=&changedto=&openedfrom=2020-06-01&openedto=&closedfrom=&closedto= But the Project Manager has denied the request. Later I fond the solution to compile the fltk package with makepkg on my computer. I informed the Project Manager of fltk again, but he does not care about. Perhaps someone can prove this correlation and could open a new Bug-Report for fltk.

Um, since this DOES turn out to be an upstream issue and not (apparently) something to do the the current PKGBUILDs (both this one AND the fldigi-git); I un-flagged the "out-of-date". i.e The current PKGBUILD is correct v/v the upstream repo's indication of the current package. Anything else is either an ALPHA package or from the author's git repo; which is to say a TESTING version and NOT something I should be using for the "release" PKGBUILD.

Since this appears to be an issue that only affects SOME of the users (which have numerous ttf packages loaded up), I would suggest either using the fldigi-git PKGBUILD OR simply editing this PKGBUILD as you need for testing UNTIL SUCH TIME as the patching/corrections are FULLY tested.

agreed not working for me either

@mh00h I've backported patch but it doesn't solve the problem =\

Maybe it's in alpha. http://www.w1hkj.com/alpha/fldigi/

@mhooh could you please provide a link? I can't find any info in git...

A new release came out today that is supposed to fix the font issue (4.1.13.24). Please could someone update this PKGBUILD to assist us with confirming the patch?

I have the same problem and have traced it back to having too many fonts. Someone else has run into this too (https://primalcortex.wordpress.com/2019/03/02/fldigi-slow-startup-on-linux/?unapproved=18496&moderation-hash=4ce7ad0633dd1678f01be7050c5122c2#comment-18496). Can you confirm if this applies to you?
