Error(s) that match a know pattern in addition to what has been reported in the summary:


x11-key-grabber.c:33:10: fatal error: gdk/gdkx.h: No such file or directory
x11-property.c:38:10: fatal error: gdk/gdkx.h: No such file or directory

ci has reproduced this issue with version 0.8.2 - Updating summary.

[Comment 4 Paul Healy 2023-02-26 19:25:12 UTC]

This build failure is as a result of configuring x11-libs/gtk+:3 for wayland rather than X:

x11-libs/gtk+ -X wayland

There is an open issue for adding wayland support to pasystray here: https://github.com/christophgysin/pasystray/issues/90

From comments on the issue, forcing the x11 backend with gdk_set_allowed_backends ("x11"); may be useful.

Also from comments on that issue, the AUR pasystray-wayland package ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pasystray-wayland ) does this:


build() {
  cd $_pkgname-$pkgver

  autoreconf -vif
  ./configure \
        --prefix=/usr \
        --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --disable-x11 \
        --enable-appindicator

  make
}

Sounds like something that can be fixed by updating the ebuild.

[Comment 6 Miroslav Šulc 2024-01-04 10:09:19 UTC]

it would be nice if someone using wayland could try the fix and eventually fix the ebuild.
