15:49:09 <gnugnu> I am trying to re-install gnucash-git from the AUR on aarch64 and am getting an error: In procedure dlopen: file "/usr/lib/libgnucash-guile.so", message "libicui18n.so.71: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"... pkgfile --verbose libicui18n.so says this is provided by the icu package, which on arch arm is newer (at version 72.1-2) how can I get around this compilation error? gnucash used to compile fine on this machine but now needs to
15:49:10 <gnugnu> be recompiled to get it running since some shared libraries were updated (boost-libs was 1.80.0, and is now 1.81.0).
15:55:23 <Simon> make sure you compile from a completely clean build directory and install to a completely empty directory
15:56:30 <Simon> are you sure that's a compile error? /usr/lib/libgnucash-guile.so shouldn't be used during compile because it's an output
16:02:27 *** warlord has joined #gnucash
16:10:30 <gnugnu> Doing a clean build didnt help (yay -Scc; yay -S gnucash-git). Trying to find what is relevant in the wall of text. the last couple lines are
16:10:43 <gnugnu> [ 50%] Built target gnc-gnome-utils
16:10:56 <gnugnu> make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/alarm/.cache/yay/gnucash-git/src/gnucash-git/build'
16:11:04 <gnugnu> make: *** [Makefile:166: all] Error 2
16:11:38 <Simon> just re-run it after it fails with -j1
16:12:55 <jralls> Simon, gnugnu, the problem is that libicu has the unpleasant feature of versioning their library names, so everything that depends on it must be not just recompiled but reconfigured.
16:13:55 *** chockey has joined #gnucash
16:15:02 <jralls> Cmake caches far more than it should, so you have to completely empty the build directory and build from scratch to get the new library names into the make files.
16:16:09 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v chockey
16:17:56 <gnugnu> After using yay -Scc to clear cached packages and builds, the parent build directory ~/.cache/yay/ was completely empty. Is there anything else I need to remove?
16:21:00 <jralls> gnugnu, you'd have to ask whoever supports yay, which IIUC is a third-party tool for Arch Linux. I can only guide you on using Cmake directly: cd <builddir> && rm -rf * && cmake <whatever args are needed on your system> <path-to-gnucash-source-dir> && make && make install

16:36:54 <NoobAlice> gnugnu: Standard Arch instructions are to stop using AUR helpers/wrappers if you run into problems you personally can't solve. Use makepkg directly, and then ask the AUR package maintainer for help with further errors.

16:51:24 <gnugnu> Using makepkg or cmake directly I encountered the same error about missing libicui18n.so.71. I used the cmake flags from the PKGBUILD file (looks like it has not changed since 2019, so it has worked for me in the past). I appreciate the help thus far. Perhaps I will try replacing the latest git source with an older gnucash version, 4.12 or 4.11, but it seems like cmake caching may still be an issue? I will try to learn more about cmake

17:27:50 <jralls> gnugnu, it doesn't have anything to do with the GnuCash version. It might not have anything to do with GnuCash. libgnucash-guile.so links libicu* via libboost_locale.so, so it may be that the problem is that the libboost packager hasn't recompiled for the new ICU version.
