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).

It seems that it became impossible to install both packages at the same time due to a file conflict with the man pages. I guess they changed the Makefile to install the man pages into DESTDIR automatically, so instead of copying the correct file into the $pkgdir again, the wrong one has to be deleted actually.

@Tahvok Thank you, that change resulted in a successful build, install and run.

@kwacorn Thanks for reporting, I've pushed an update with a patch

Following recent updates of QT to version 5.15.0 I tried to rebuild gridcoinresearch-qt 4.0.6.0-1 however it now gives errors relating to trafficgraphwidget.cpp and the build aborts. Here is the latter part of the build output:

Prior to this QT update the builds were successful. As a test I tried building gridcoinresearch-qt-git 4.0.6.22 and that was a successful build (though I had not realised that was a testnet wallet and does not stake).

Hope that info' is sensible. If of relevance I using Manjaro version of Arch.

You were right, sorry about that. Fix pushed.

There is a typo on line 38 of the PKGBUILD: cp -r ${srcdir}/${_sourcename}/usr/share ${pkgdir}/share/

This puts everything that should be in the /usr/share directory into a /share directory. The application launcher I use couldn't find the .desktop file since it's in the wrong directory, so I had trouble starting my Gridcoin client.

Line 38 should be: cp -r ${srcdir}/${_sourcename}/usr/share ${pkgdir}/usr/share/

Just a quick heads-up: It seems that the next version will include an official upstream gridcoinresearch.desktop file and an icon set.

This means we can drop the gridcoinresearch-qt.desktop source file and the icoutils makedep. To install the files, I think it would be easiest to just cp -rp or rsync -a the whole share/ directory from the DESTDIR into the pkgdir for the -qt package.

I'd recommend using mkdir -p to make it possible to try building again after an error.

mrypsilon thanks a lot for rewriting the PKGBUILD for the new split package! If you want your full name and email added in the contributor comment, I will gladly add them.
