failed in installing in manjaro

[dzwdev]

i successfully compiled kiwixlib and i run the installation code: sudo ninja -C build install  1 ✘  30s  ninja: Entering directorybuild' [0/1] Installing files.

in this path: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ i find: kiwix.pc but when trying to compile the kiwix desktop i get this error: qmake .  ✔ Package kiwix was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing kiwix.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'kiwix', required by 'virtual:world', not found Package kiwix was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containingkiwix.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'kiwix', required by 'virtual:world', not found

how to solve this? the kiwixlib in the AUR repo is not the latest version

There is no problem compiling on Manjaro (unstable branch) when using the Arch PKGBUILD

https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/libkiwix/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD

@dzwdev Thank you for your information, just FYI, the official name has changed from "kiwixlib" to "libkiwix" a few years ago. Maybe - if this is needed - update the package name.

@dzwdev kiwix-desktop 2.3 does compile against libkiwix 12, not libkiwix 13. Pretty sure this is the problem you face.

thank you for your help. i used PKGBUILD in manjaro and now i could install it successfully.
