AUR package fails due to dependencies about ktechlab

[zoltanp]

Apparently that package is missing some dependencies, so someone competent should fix it. I've added a comment there about this issue.

For fixing this issue probably an exact message would still be useful.

[zoltanp]

Please note that KTechLab master has changed its dependencies: currently it depends on KF5 and not on KDELibs4, like it used to depend several months ago. Maybe this is causing dependency issues.

Thanks for the immediate response, I appreciate your great work. Some points:

• It would be great if you could add the software to as many repositories / package managers as possible. This will multiply your user base. The Repology search for KTechLab says that AUR and Fedora already have some formulas. It would be great if you could add it to Chocolatey to reach the Windows users. I have opened a ticket here. If you also add it to LinuxBrew/macBrew then you have almost all the major platforms covered.
• I have mentioned KTechLab in this list of FOSS for EE. Your thoughts and ideas are very welcomed.

Apparently were is a new KTechLab package in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ktechlab/. It works on my machine ;)

@ognarb : cool, thanks for the notification. Currently I do not have a mastodon account, so feel free to send my regards to the packager :-)

Based on this report I'm tempted to close this issue.

Don't. It's still missing the same dependencies (kdelibs) with this AUR repo quoted by @ognarb also.

Thanks for your answer!
I'm trying to build from source then.

There's a KF5 package on Pacman but I need the developer edition apparently. How can I get this?

[zoltanp]

I suppose that on Arch Linux the typical packages include development files, too, so the "normal" packages should be sufficient.
Disclaimer: I have never used Arch Linux or its derivatives.

There are missing a few of the modules inside KF5: Indeed, they are not present in the KF5 package from Pacman: see https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/kf5/):

Ok, I've installed the missing packages.

But cmake isn't finding the DIR in question (KF5DocTools, KF5KDELibs4Support, KF5KHtml, KF5Parts, KF5TextEditor), whereas I see that these dirs are exactly in the same location of all the other modules (/usr/lib64/cmake) that cmake is able to find?

[gustavklopp]

Ok, it's working. I've forgotten to delete the cash of Cmake...
