Uninstall method shouldn't matter. I would use command-line:sudo pacman -Runc [packages]

Then to install the packages after building: sudo pacman -U [files]

This package makes the stable packages, no suffix. The -git packages are incompatible. If you want to switch to the -git packages, uninstall all related packages. Then build and install in this order:

• appmenu-glib-translator-git
• vala-panel-git
• vala-panel-appmenu-xfce-git (this is pkgbase, even if you want mate version)

I'm not sure about updates. If AUR helpers are confused:

• Uninstall related packages: vala-panel, appmenu-glib-translator, vala-panel-appmenu-*
• Rebuild and install vala-panel. Unlike -git, translator package is not needed.
• Rebuild vala-panel-appmenu (previous instructions)

There are different types of depends. If an AUR helper cannot distinguish (1) and (3), it may refuse to build this package.

1. Runtime-only depends
2. Make depends
3. Depends that are needed for both runtime and make

To build this package:

• Uninstall appmenu-glib-translator and all vala-panel-appmenu-* packages.
• Keep vala-panel installed if it is up to date. Otherwise, rebuild and update it.
• Then build this package without AUR helper:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/vala-panel-appmenu.git
cd vala-panel-appmenu
makepkg -sr

@hayao the last fix fixed the issue reported but introduced a new one. I believe, as @chrisallison propose, on line 7 it should say :

_disable_budgie=true # change false to true

Thanks!

thanks, works now.

Of course as soon as upstream fix theirs, then the 'nb' language will be completely removed by that sed command - so you'll have to remove it again!

Thanks! I'll fix it.

edit the PKGBUILD

line 7: _disable_budgie=true # change false to true

insert in the build() function (line 64)

sed -i 's/nb //' "${srcdir}/vala-panel-appmenu/po/LINGUAS"

(nb is in the LINGUAS file twice, I'll also let the upstream maintainer know)

I also get this error now:

Program /usr/bin/meson found: YES (/usr/bin/meson)

@Romario74 As I suggested to the maintainer, the "budgie-desktop" dependency should be removed.

Does not build here: Run-time dependency budgie-1.0 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

vala-panel-appmenu/meson.build:81:0: ERROR: Dependency "budgie-1.0" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake

Shouldn't you remove the "budgie-desktop" dependency? I built it without it and works fine. This is for XFCE after all.

Please report any bugs in the package itself upstream. I only provide the package.
