@Tahvok Why is the license is defined as custom? It should be MIT.
Also could you use the correct repository for the source file? While there's a redirect to gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research from gridcoin/Gridcoin-Research, it'd be better if the PKGBUILD directly used the correct repo.
@Tahvok I use i3 with rofi and there is no icon shown for Gridcoin in rofi. Do you have an idea why this is the case?
@GridcoinUser the icon and the desktop file are already there. Check out the following path: /usr/share/applications/gridcoinresearch.desktop /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
Don't you see them for some reason?
Thank you for maintaining this package! Could you add an icon and a desktop file to the package as well?
@Tahvok: the gui doesn't start without libzip gridcoinresearch: error while loading shared libraries: libzip.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Even when you usually don't need both - shouldn't it be possible to install both? The package isn't cleanly split, especially since the qt package includes the man page of the daemon package (error from previous message)
Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for this maintained package. I just wanted to point out some errors ;)
@nachfuellbar you usually do not need to install both. The daemon is for terminal use only. If you need a gui, then you want the qt package. libzip is needed for building the package, but not for running. Libzip is needed to run the package, but not to build it. You're saying that pacman didn't ask you to install libzip as dependency? This is weird, as I have verified it, and it actually does ask me for libzip as dependency. At what point did you need to install libzip?
When trying to install both gridcoinresearch-qt und gridcoinresearchd i get following error
gridcoinresearchd: /usr/share/man/man1/gridcoinresearchd.1.gz exists in filesystem (owned by gridcoinresearch-qt)
Another issue is - i had to install libzip manually even though it's in PKGBUILD as depend :/
gridcoinresearch-qt doesn't work with LTO flag (at least on my computer), if you have core dump problem, add the following line to PKGBUILD and compile again.
options=('!lto')
(below depends=.... is fine)
An emergency mandatory, 5.3.0.0-mandatory became available 2021-03-16 !

Take a notice, this is now a split package - meaning it will build both the gui and the daemon - you need to install only one of them (unless you really need both).
