@apprehensions You may not have all the required dependencies. I ran the same command as you, on a fresh install of Arch with the dependencies and their were no issues.
PCRE is not a official dependency. it is optional. Please update your README to reflect that.
Why is PCRE required for this though? Regular picom functions fine without it.
PCRE is not a official dependency. it is optional.
It is actually. Look at picom-git
Either way I can confirm PCRE is required for this fork of picom to my knowledge.
No. It is a OPTIONAL dependency.
It can be disabled. If you truly believe it is required then make it a forced dependency with no options.
If you truly believe it is required then make it a forced dependency with no options.
I'll do that in a second then. Can you please try building with PCRE installed.
https://github.com/yshui/picom/commit/e2b8c3fd1e5eb06c137daf03dcb6c11f93aa2cd4 PCRE is deprecated. USE PCRE2, or just update this fork...
Building with PCRE does not help:
Assertion failed: ps->server_grabbed (../src/c2.c: c2_match: 1672)
Aborted
c2
is the original file for regex (which if you went through the source code to begin with, you would have known). Please update your fork and fix this issue
I would appreciate you be a bit more courteous with your wording.
(which if you went through the source code to begin with, you would have known)
Please don't insinuate that I am not putting effort into this project, I'm trying very hard to fix all the issues people have had with picom and make it better.
I will make the updates however in the future please consider the choosing of your words more carefully.
Sorry.
I'm testing the updates now but it might take quite a while since I need to change the dependencies on NixOS for me to be able to build the package.
When you see 1.5.0
release that will be the patched update.
@apprehensions
1.5.0
has released with the updated dependency.
