Please refrain from abusing the flagging of a package as out of date for build issues. This is not what it is supposed to be used for.

I automatically get notified of comments to this package. I do not need to be notified of whatever build problems occur (whether they are an individual's problems or the actual package's problems) twice, and not via flagging it out of date.

Issues with this package can also be reported at https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues (as it is also maintained there, at https://codeberg.org/librewolf/arch, too).

Why am I receiving this error? https://rentry.co/6ir93h4q/raw

With regards to rust issues the official thunderbird package switched to rustup with this in the PKGBUILD:

# packed_simd no longer builds with 1.78.0
rustup toolchain update --profile minimal 1.77.2
rustup default 1.77.2

Building in a clean chroot, I have encountered a rust-simd issue (again, but with a different error message). My workaround (again): ac_add_options --disable-rust-simd.

Is this building for others in a clean chroot as of Archlinux fully updated today?

It's likely a newb issue, but in the past the newb issue was that I didn't fully update etc.

What about this error, does this affect the build?

"export MOZ_APP_REMOTINGNAME=${_pkgname}" should be changed to "export MOZ_APP_REMOTINGNAME=${pkgname}", otherwise when running under Wayland it will fallback to the default Wayland icon.

@xiota Yeah, that worked! Thanks for helping me with this stuff, I'm kinda new here (if you couldn't tell) Sorry for misunderstanding though, I should've done my research first.

$ sudo pacman -S base-devel

$ sudo \rm -rf librewolf

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/librewolf.git

$ cd librewolf

@Bitals Huh.. Sorry, I guess that was just a misconception of mine. I'm not going to go into semantics, I just kind of misunderstood the purpose of yay, which i apologize for.

@xiota I've seen the wiki page you've linked, what exact method are you implying i should be able to build librewolf with? I tried the Convenience way that is mentioned on the wiki, but it would appear that it can't find the .install file, which shouldn't be the case. I tried as a regular user, as sudo and as root, all yield the result below. The full log:

@alexmurkoff building in a clean chroot does not add any new libraries to your system the way e.g. flatpak does. Just read the linked article to understand it.

Also, yay is not a package manager, it's an AUR helper. And AUR is not a package repository, it's a build script repository. Helpers work in most cases most of the time, but sometimes you just need manual intervention. That's just how it is by definition.
