Sorry for the delay. Th package should be fixed now. Note: the warnings are in the upstream source code. You can safely ignore them.

I also made custom config.h optional. To use one, put it in the main source directory and edit the appropriate PKGBUILD section:

source=("$_pkgname::git+https://git.suckless.org/surf" 'config.h')
md5sums=('SKIP' 'SKIP')`

I tried what erb suggests but it didn't work. It gave me this:

Getting an error when building, looks like an upstream issue?

Edit: Nvm, looks like an issue in config.h

Edit 2: Fixed by replacing all instances of 'scroll' with 'scrollh' in config.h and building with makepkg -si --skipchecksums.

Error making: surf-git

Deleting the prepare() section and remove src/surf/config.h will fix the build.

Same issue with me. Finally did diff config.h diff with https://git.suckless.org/surf repository. Changed config.h then it started compiling with makepkg --skipchecksums.

Package got built but looks like Dmenu functionality broken . Ctrl+g don't show any text.

I git-clone'd the repo, but makepkg is aborting the build. Here's my log: https://textuploader.com/1am8b

Any suggestions?

Nicely done! :-) I'd vote however to make the PKGBUILD skip the checksum test for the config.h At least on my workflow this is the better way to handle it.

And thanks for this link! :-)

If you are not aware of it already, here is a highly recommended read about suckless surf:

Thank you sekret.

I have adopted the package.

• Added tabbed (you could also use tabbed-git) as an optional dependency.
• PKGBUILD now supports patches: simply include the patch in the main directory, add the name to the source array in PKGBUILD, run updpkgsums, and then build. The patch should apply automatically, provided that it is a git version patch.

cheers!
