After 2023.11, patching is required to build on Arch. This package uses a secondary repo to make managing changes easier. Further details in the readme.

It's unfortunate that this project was shut down in Dec 2021.

It's unknown if the community will maintain it long-term. For now, there's already a fork that fixes a compile error for llvm-13:

@Un1Gfn I fixed the UI freezing issue. The fix was recently released:

Building from source succeeds (CXX ok, Java/Python not tested), but the UI freezes a lot.

Your binary packages does NOT have this issue.

@jetm Try building from source if you may. Do you get a responsive UI?

I'm trying to index a Python project with the latest version (2020.4.35) and I'm getting errors like these for each source file:

command ""/opt/sourcetrail/bin//../share/data/python/SourcetrailPythonIndexer" index --source-file-path="PATH_TO_SOURCE_FILE" --database-file-path="PATH_TO_DB_FILE"" returned code "255" with message "File not found or resource error occurred.".

I've replaced the source file and database file paths with PATH_TO_SOURCE_FILE and PATH_TO_DB_FILE in the above message, but they appear to be correct (so the error shouldn't be related to that).

Interestingly, running that command manually succeeds.

UPDATE: Ah, this is an upstream bug, see: https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail/issues/1129

@fsimonis: yes, you're right. Sourcetrail can be built now from scratch. I have verified it. Thanks!

The next problem is to figure out which files are required to be packaged. I can get the Sourcetrail binary, but there are many more files that should be packaged too. The CMake has not a make install entry. At upstream, Sourcetrail is doing the Linux packaging in a no standard way [1].

I need more time to finish that part. I will work at it in next days

@jetm The new release 2020.4.35 adds QT forward-compatibility. I can compile and use this version of sourcetrail without tweaks on Arch. Would you mind migrating this package to building from source?

@xa0082249956 Updated the package with libglvnd dependency. Thanks!

/opt/sourcetrail/bin/sourcetrail: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Looks like we need to add a dependency libglvnd

Is there a reason that the package makes only the .desktop file easily available and not a link to the binary itself?

I have zero experience with writing pkgbuilds, but after browsing a little I believe putting something like below last in package() will do it (not tested):

install -m 755 "$srcdir/opt/bin/$pkgname" "$pkgdir/usr/bin"
