I'm getting an error while trying to build it with GDAL 3.9.0 (AUR gdal-hdf4 package)

Here is the error:

Do I understand it right, that right now it is not possible to build the ltr-version with python? Without python QGIS is almost unusable for me and why is the newest fresh version (3.36) does have python integrated into the build?

It has moved on

I will move this package to 3.34 when the qgis package has moved to 3.36. Please flag this package out-of-date if I miss that.

QGIS has moved LTR to 3.34-x, current version is 3.34.4

Fortunately, arch official package PKGBUILD still builds on 3.34.3 and eases moving on.

Got it working right now. In addition to bumping version and sha256sum within the PKGBUILD:

• Remove patches for exiv2 and protobuf (no longer needed)
• Re-enabled PDAL and SIP
• Check dependency lists, in addition to pdal and sip I needed draco and qt5-multimedia to build succesfully
• python-gdal and python-owslib are also missing deps and are needed for some core plugins to work (processing and metasearch)

Qgis not LTR but some improvements from Extra (as it's not really reliable and could not considerate working with qgis from extra repository): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qgis-qtwebkit like qtwebkit, grass, build with qgis landing page (qgis server) and temporary sip 6.7.12 (could be usefull if you need to build this qgis-ltr)

@buzo I researched a patch to allow building with PDAL 2.6 after diving within qgis repo.

Could you test within your env? here looks good

Notes for future about PKGBUILD: - Update source version to v3.28.13 - Add patch source and sha256sum, apply patch within prepare()

I have disabled pdal and sip (Python bindings) until these two upstream issues are fixed.

Unfortunately, even when disabling pdal it fails to build, so I have created another upstream issue.
