Hi, thanks for reporting this.

This was fixed on master (which currently targets Qt 5.15) in https://github.com/mitchcurtis/slate/commit/92279b1d594d7d09c7e1f77841c1002c1a3782b7.

v0.9.0 targets Qt 5.13, and from memory, the changes in Qt that require the addition of the includes were done after 5.13. I'm not sure how the arch packages work, but if they are just source packages, then you need to make sure you use the correct Qt version as listed in Slate's README.md.

Thank you, that fixed it for me. I let the maintainer know so hopefully he'll update the PKGBUILD (which is sort-of a recipe how to compile and install the package) soon.

Thank you!
