Arch Linux: Multiple errors during compilation

[halian]

When attempting to add theShell to my Arch Linux installation, I get the following compilation errors, which cause compilation to fail:

ive been experiencing the same thing! trying to compile on my arch linux installation brought up this near the end:

make[1]: *** [Makefile:2154: background.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/karkat/git/theshell/src/theshell-8.0.1/shell'
make: *** [Makefile:50: sub-shell-make_first] Error 2

there were also many errors involving package dependencies, in which i had to go through and download around 10 or so of them because it wouldnt do so automatically. i think it needs to be updated, maybe? not sure.

heres the compilation after a retry.

Hey, thanks for letting me know. I've fixed compilation errors on the blueprint version of theShell, so give the theshell-blueprint package a go and let me know if it works.

I'd also like to draw your attention to theDesk, which is under active development and will be replacing theShell in the future: https://github.com/vicr123/thedesk

@vicr123 Blueprint doesn't work, unfortunately; it fails due to a missing file, to wit:

Hey there, check if modemmanager-qt is installed. Should be a dependency but I think I might have missed it.

Hey there, check if modemmanager-qt is installed. Should be a dependency but I think I might have missed it.

It was not installed, so it was missed as a dependency in the AUR; now that it is, synaptics-properties.h is missing, causing a compilation failure on Input/mousepane.cpp.

xf86-input-synaptics is the package you need :)
