now perfect

Splitted pkgbuild ready

• pkgbuild: https://github.com/FabioLolix/AURFIX/blob/main/w/winff/PKGBUILD
• diff: https://github.com/FabioLolix/AURFIX/commit/56f9d4767fc08cfa5baab5a6d5b4c8bea400cf46

Created a common package, winff-gtk2 and winff-qt5 can be installed alongside

Removed makedepends on tar since is part of base-devel, removed gzip command since is already done by default

@toropisco the lazarus-gtk2 makedependency is not needed, please remove it.

the package builds and runs fine without lazarus-gtk2.

I've rejected the orphan request by mistake, but I was wrong. The makedependencies can be fixed to avoid lazarus-gtk2

About building the gtk2 and qt5 version, lazarus-gtk2 is not needed to build the gtk2 version as lazarus-qt5 is not needed to build the qt5 version

When I have time I'll take a look

I have a local pkgbuild for cudatext-git (completely unrelated to the one on AUR; mine use z4ziggy cudatext fork, main reason for not uplaoding) which build both the gtk2 and the qt5 version

I understand the question. I know it's not your fault. maybe one day it will be better and users will be freer to choose. I certainly won't accept impositions and consider GTK a serious interface. but these are personal arguments. I apologize for the trouble. for me it's quite normal to use both GTK and QT apps.

can I install this package and keep lazarus-qt installed? if I use this package can't I choose to use lazarus-qt? I'm confused

No can do. Lazarus is designed to be installed with a GTK+ OR a QT runtime and therefore the core developer doing the packaging for the extra repository configured the runtimes as conflicting packages. The fight must be taken to Lazarus upstream developers, something I don't care about anymore TBH, I tried some 20 years ago and failed; may younger people gain some gray on their heads :-).

What I CAN DO is to create a split package. I don't care for the QT UI in particular and the last time someone asked he was a entitled brat not worth my time. And I think split packages weren't implemented yet. I'll give it a try ASAP.

Cheers.

@simona, take your complaint to the Arch Linux Extras bug tracker, where it belongs.

conflict lazarus-gtk2 / lazarus-qt5

Documentation is missing. In package() can add;

install -d "$pkgdir/usr/share/doc/winff/"
find . -name "*.pdf" \
  -exec install -Dm644 {} "$pkgdir/usr/share/doc/winff/" \; &> /dev/null
