Cannot build latest gpick, any idea what I could be missing? ArchLinux version just stopped working and showed the below output. Tried to rebuild with gpick-git version in yay but no dice.

Hi @m34nbunny,

I had had the same issue with compiling the gpick from sources on Arch Linux. I managed it with several simple changes:

Removed -c++ from Lua libraries names In CMakeLists.txt (because pkg-config knows nothing about the C++ variant of Lua libraries);
Wrapped in gpick's source files all Lua include headers with extern "C" {};

Here is a patch with changes described above: 0001-fix-of-compilation-issue-on-Arch-Linux.txt
