If you're getting error like this on login:

Login error: Authentication error: code 400 (API_ID_PUBLISHED_FLOOD)

Check https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id URL, for generating your own api_id/api_hash values (only a couple clicks), and specify those in the plugin parameters.

I'm getting a bunch of linking errors. A small sample:

Yes everything seems to work with the updated git link.

ERROR: Unrecognized reference: 3070415c

Ah yes, sorry, didn't actually test that link and forgot "commit=" in there - should be git+https://github.com/tdlib/td.git#commit=3070415c , my bad.

I tried changing telegram-tdlib-git PKGBUILD to have source=("git+https://github.com/tdlib/td.git#3070415c") but got ERROR: Unrecognized reference: 3070415c Do I need to do something else to make it work?

(Re. below yes amazing timing haha)

Given that it doesn't seem to be needed by pretty much anything else, I think keeping it bundled would seem to be easier to maintain and build/manage for users, especially for a -git package where version requirements change.

Do you have it installed for something else, or maybe have some other benefit or use-case in mind?

Can you uses unbundled lottie by appending -DNoBundledLottie=True to cmake?

Hahah, I think you just randomly hit a great timing, as tdlib-purple repository was indeed updated from <1.6.5 to >1.7.8 in the span of last 2 hours, and since this -git PKGBUILD pulls from there directly, builds before/after that update got such different results.

You do need 1.7.8 or newer now indeed, and tdlib<1.7.0 no longer even works with telegram servers, since they changed protocol in the last few days.

I've had make fail with message

tdlib version 1.6.5 or older is required

and then after reinstalling telegram-tdlib 1.6.0 fail with message

tdlib version 1.7.8 or newer is required

So I wonder, how should I install this package?

This won't build without a package for telegram-tdlib <=1.6.5.

Yeah, I've noticed it as well.

For me it's not really an issue, as I don't use any AUR helpers and it's easy to skip updating telegram-tdlib or rollback git repo from AUR and build any older release there.

If AUR helpers can do something similar - i.e. selectively update or build older AUR release - maybe that's a good enough solution in the meantime.

Though to be fair, copying PKGBUILD for older release into a new package isn't exactly difficult either, but I'm lazy to test it all, as C++ takes ages to build :)
