@MarsSeed, @lechu, @jettscythe thanks for the notes on out-of-date as well as the wireplumber issue! Both has been fixed with the latest release.

The package 0.10.0-1 has been patched to be compatible to libcava >= 0.9.1 even though the latest release is 0.10.0 already. I have issues compiling (hence updateing) the libcava package. Once this is solved I update this package.

@lechu this package needs to be updated https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/issues/3062

After Arch update of libwireplumber to 0.5 waybar-cava is not working. It misses the libwierplumber 0.4. Any idea how to fix this?

Hi @lisuke, you flagged this package as out of date and posted some snippets of a failed installation. I think the installation failed as libcava was missing. Please install the package 'libcava' first and then try again to install 'waybar-cava' again. If you experience any further issues please post a message here and I wll help you as good as I can.

@MarsSeed thanks a lot for the detailed explanation - it triggered a thought and understanding process on my end!

I firstly created the package 'libcava' (the cava fork that is required by waybar) and added it as a dependency to the 'waybar-cava' package.

Secondly I explicitly declared all features and disabled the auto-features.

If built in an environment where cava is not installed, this package won't provide the waybar/cava module. Because cava is not a dependency, and if not found at build-time, Meson will turn off cava support.

This is the downside of using Meson's auto-features: the resulting build will differ depending on the build environment.

It is better to disable auto-features and declare the needed Meson options explicitly. And also to add the needed libraries in PKGBUILD's depends array.

Thank you in advance for addressing this.

MarsSeed commented on 2023-10-14 08:37 (UTC)

It doesn't make sense to keep this package, as it is just a duplicate of extra/waybar, and also not well configured because it enables meson's auto-features whereas it should be disabled as per Arch package guidelines.
