Arch Linux User Repository

Maintainer here. Sorry for the delay in answers, I am currently not using the software actively.

@zertyz I have merged @ulyssesrr's fix for the missing $JFX_ARGS after confirming it works on my machine too, so at least 3.2.3240 should install correctly.

Unfortunately it looks like that the software's author has changed the method of delivering updates, and currently I have no time to update the script to the new method. If anyone is interested in helping with this I am glad to merge their changes/add them as co-maintainer if they can be more active with updates.

This seemed to work for version 3.2

Version 3.1.3100 also fails for me. A java process is launched, but there is no UI displayed. Version 3.0.3000 appears to work.

Hey guys, the program doesn’t start at all after updating everything. If I start it from the terminal I only get some messages about skipped directories, mostly heading to font directories. Do anyone have an idea what the problem is? I also tried modifying the build files as @mynacol described in his post from February.

@riazufila Try again now, I have pushed a new version.

Why when I try to open a .gan file from an existing GanttProject window, the window to Open Project (Project > Open > Open Other Project) is literally blank white? Anyone know?

Thanks @lightspot21 & @SanskritFritz for maintaining this PKGBUILD. For security reasons, would you consider switching to HTTPS in the source field, and to SHA256 for integrity check? (as MD5 and SHA1 are not considered secure algorithms anymore, and upstream does not seem to provide any official checksums anyway) Thanks :-)

Thanks guys for helping out with this!

@mynacol I'd like to, but what stops me from going to Java 15 or later is that the app as it currently stands needs to have $JAVA_HOME/lib passed in the module path, along with the JavaFX module names. But passing the aforementioned path in the module path and attempting to run results in a LayerInstantiationError, which I found that it's caused due to passing $JAVA_HOME/lib in the first place. If you can help with this, I'm happy to do the necessary changes.

Thanks, @lightspot21 for the patch supporting the new version. Before updating, please consider changing the java dependencies to more generic ones. According to the official website, Java Runtime 11+ is needed. So no hard dependency on java 11. In summary you could change: jre11-openjdk -> java-runtime>=11 java-openjfx=11 -> java-openjfx>=11
