At commit 61f4f4ed92593898ad84c66f3901b6fb7790f73d, I run:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ meson ..

And then it outputs:

I've tried install gcr and 

gcr is already the newest version (3.40.0-4).

So why is that? Thank you very much.

GCR 4 is part of unstable gcr version (≥ 3.90). And even if you install that somehow, the master branch targets GNOME Shell 43, which you probably do not have either.

If so how should I build the stable version from source? Thank you.

jtojnar commented 1 year ago

The link to stable version tarball is at the end of README. Or if you want to build from Git repo, use git checkout v42.1 to change the tree to that. But I would still recommend getting a pre-built package from your distro if that is possible.

Since https://github.com/Keruspe/GPaste/commit/189bcc88d5c69753414a62b04067f18c9ce7dc80, the master branch should support GCR 3 again. #409 made it so both versions are supported.

Thank you.

wzh4464 commented 1 year ago

I noticed that it requires gcr-base-3 at version 3.41 or above, but the newest stable version is 3.40. Is it a miss?

jtojnar commented 1 year ago

3.41.1 is the newest stable, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gcr/-/tags/3.41.1. But not sure why Keruspe chose it in https://github.com/Keruspe/GPaste/commit/eece9c374a823234bc20e58bf95bb10ace9590f4.

I think we can close it?
