Arch Linux User Repository

A note for users.

This package is quite complex. It MAY not be built because of OTHER issues. I always build, install and test it on at least two different machines. Only after that I would push a new version to AUR.

Please try some generic solutions before reporting of build problems:

1) Update all other packages (sudo pacman -Syu),

2) Clean up yay and/or makepkg caches ('yay -Sc', 'rm -rf /var/tmp/makepkg'),

3) Be sure you've got enough RAM (8 GB or more is highly recommended) and space on disk (at least 3 GB).

4) Is your Internet connection is stable, fast and not blocked somewhere?

PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE BEFORE COMPLAINING FOR LIBBOOST

When boost is updated to a new version and you see an error message about missing libboost*.so, you will need to rebuild and reinstall the rstudio-desktop package.

Build logic is slightly changed due to changes in upstream. As they've introduced new project format (quarto), it contradicted with standard Arch package base. In brief, quarto contains pandoc as part of itself, so it's pretty hard to keep together system pandoc and embedded quarto.

So I've "resolved" it such way: if there is "quarto*" package installed, then rstudio-desktop will pick it up and use. Otherwise (not installed), quarto support in rstudio will be disabled.

'quarto' is added as optional dependency.

rstudio: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_regex.so.1.72.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@Wild_Penguin: thank you for investigating! Manually calling /usr/bin/cmake fixes the build errors but still not the QtWebEngineProcess thing.

Regarding the build script: You’re not expected to use it. I just think it helps, since if you want to use extra-x86_64-build, you need to hand it all AUR dependencies (i.e. r-testthat and all its deps in this case).

@ith140 please read the sticky comment

I've been using this package for quite some time and had issues on the most recent update with Qt Webengine resources not being found.

I had to use the qt.conf file installed into /usr/lib/qt/libexec (see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/64973) to get rstudio to run.

Perhaps there's been some regression?

Thanks for all the work on this package.

I've made some progress. Seems like cmake, boost or some other component does not like /bin in search path. See: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1940942#p1940942

EDIT/ALSO: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1941537 .

So in case anyone has the same problem: remove /bin from PATH. If you have not set it, good luck in finding who did :-).

Hi flying-sheep,

First, I want to thank for your effort on this PKGBUILD.

But, are you saying users are expected to install yay and use the build.sh to use this package?

It never even occurred to look into the build.sh script, I assumed it is something the PKGBUILD or the original sources use. Now I see it uses yay cache, but I do not use yay, I don't even have it installed. FWIW I usually use aurutils, and only fall back into standard way of using makepkg in case that fails (to rule out any issues caused by aur helpers). Needless to say, that script fails (it is useless to me, I don't like yay nor the concept of any AUR wrapper - I want to manage and review all AUR pkgbuilds myself, or at least glimpse what they are doing etc.).

This same PKGBUILD does work on my laptop, though I have no idea why. I will investigate when I have the time...

Can you try building with the build script? It expects the AUR packages this depends on to be in a certain cache directory, and will use extra-x86_64-build to build everything in a clean CHROOT

Hmm, seems to fail currently. Something in CMakeLists.txt file(s) are not generated correctly. I'm not familiar enough with cmake to determine quickly why it fails. I get this at the end of configure phase:

If you figure out a way to make RStudio’s build system use that qtconfig, I’ll include it in the PKGBUILD ASAP!

Hi, for anyone having the Qt issue which causes no internal frames to display, flying-sheep has a fix in the pinned comment ^ and there is also a bug report and fix here --> https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/64973 Thank you flying-sheep for maintaining the package :):)

will. what do you think the pinned comment is for? decoration?
