Arch Linux User Repository

If you're getting compilation errors, please delete your Bazel cache (~/.cache/bazel by default).

Found the issue. Running aura as sudo is not necessary anymore and otherwise breaks the build: https://github.com/fosskers/aura/issues/907

I'm getting a compilation error:

==> Starting build()...
FATAL: mkdir('/.cache/bazel/_bazel_nobody'): (error: 13): Permission denied
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
aura :: Package failed to build, citing:

  makepkg failed.

Seems bazel is run as the nobody user and the nobody user does not have any home so it defaults to /. Any ideas? (I tried deleting the cache from other users just in case but that didn't solve the problem)

@NettoHikari I just rechecked and it seems they did fix the build issue somehow, you can use their repo if you want prebuilts.

@NettoHikari I had this and fcitx5-mozc-ut added to andontie-aur once, but it seems that it no longer gets built due to similar building issues; so I just build it locally nowadays (though I've never had issues building it myself).

Seems that there may be some problems with automating building this package (possibly the Bazel cache issue) so making a -bin of this would be a bit more difficult sadly.

@NettoHikari Your best bet would be asking here for help with your issues, like everyone else. I know I'd personally be really interested to hear about the numerous reasons that this package is failing to download and build all the time for you, so that I can try and fix them, or maybe even report them upstream.

Other than that, I could suggest trying one of the other two Mozc package families in the AUR, but they also use Bazel so I don't know how much help they would be to you. And the only precompiled package I'm aware of in the repos is fcitx5-mozc which has been outdated for close to two years now (last real update was in late 2022), so that's a no-go as well.

I'm honestly sick and tired of this package failing to install for numerous reasons all the time. Sometimes because some of the stuff can't be downloaded, sometimes, because of Bazel failing to compile stuff, etc.

Is there any repo with a precompiled version?

@csslayer Or even better, we can turn off Protobuf's unconditional use of the -Werror flag, which is what turns those nice -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings into pesky -Werror=maybe-uninitialized errors and subsequently breaks the build :)

Issue with gcc 14 can be workaround by --cxxopt=-Wno-maybe-uninitialized , in case you want to use default gcc instead.

Correction: you need --cxxopt=-Wno-maybe-uninitialized --host_cxxopt=-Wno-maybe-uninitialized

@zwastik It's a pacman bug and a fix is already included in bazel 7.1.0-2.
