Thanks for the heads-up, @npreining. It seems like the recent update to the build process of the resvg package resulted in not all headers included any longer. I disabled resvg here for the moment and I will figure out tomorrow what would be the best thing to do.

The recent update does not build:

Indeed, the update for zxing-cpp to 3.x requires a rebuild (and I added a patch fixing some code compatibility issues).

Hello! The latest error: photoqt: error while loading shared libraries: libZXing.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I suspect the update of extra/zxing-cpp 3.0.1-1

@ageorgiev_bg Thanks for the heads-up, that update requires a reinstall of photoqt.

After the update of extra/libraw to 0.22.0-2 photoqt is failing to start. library linkage error: libraw.so.23 => not found

@luspi You are right, it's only building with LLVM, my mistake.

luspi commented on 2025-04-16 17:57 (UTC)

@csutcliff I don't have access to my Arch machine until next week to check, but are you sure? The OpenMP package is the "LLVM OpenMP Runtime Library", but PhotoQt does not have a dependency on LLVM.

If you changed your system to build packages with LLVM instead of GCC, then you might indeed need to install it on your system, but I don't think it should be added to depends.

This won't build without openmp installed, it should be added to depends

@anupamsr Do you have imagemagick6 installed by chance? There have been problems in the past when both 6 and 7 were installed on the same system.

Edit: There is also a bin package if this doesn't build for you: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/photoqt-bin
