Failed when building the documentation because there are several obsolete pandoc parameters. If you just want to install this package quickly add

--without-doc

to the configure line when editing the PKGBUILD.

Can the noto-fonts-alpha be moved to makedepends array instead of being a runtime dependency? (and so should pandoc and other packages needed for documentation)

help2man should also be included into the makedepends array.

Something like this: https://gist.github.com/undu/296b2ec54977fd0b5be4fef4d5693197

For some reason for me pandoc fails spectacularly when trying to build the docs, so I had to disable doc generation anyway.

@vertebrate This is a bug in ttfautohint: it can only build is Qt version only has single-digit components, so it chokes on the 10 in the current Qt version (5.10.0).

won't build:

checking for Qt's version... 
configure: error: Cannot detect Qt's version.

qt5-base is installed

For anyone else not wanting to download noto-fonts-alpha to install this package, just remove noto-fonts-alpha and noto-fonts from the dependencies and add `--with-doc=no` to `./configure`.

Would it be possible to have a `ttfautohint-no-docs` package that disabled the documentation generation and dropped the requirement on `noto-fonts-alpha`?

@Batou, unfortunately the latest ttfautohint requires the noto alpha fonts [mario@stig ttfautohint]$ sed -n '33092,33106p' src/ttfautohint-1.7/configure # We use the Noto font family within the PDF documentation file, since it # has the best Unicode coverage of all freely available fonts. However, due # to some bugs in the currently released version and lacking support for # some scripts, it is necessary to access fonts from the `noto-fonts-alpha' # git repository, which can be found at # # https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts-alpha/ # # Interestingly, at least one font we need (`NotoSansGujarati-Regular.ttf') # is not yet present in the `noto-fonts-alpha' repository, so we have to # access the older # # https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/ # # also.

What's with the noto-* depends? ttfautohint now requires 500MB+ of download. Ridiculous.

supermario commented on 2017-04-18 23:33 (UTC)

Oops! Looks like I forgot to actually put an example keyserver in the command. I've fixed the pinned comment. Thanks! I've also updated the package to use qt5 instead of qt4. I haven't been able to test it very thoroughly, but it did build and run for me. Please let me know if you run into any new issues (and if it works by rolling back to qt4)
