Boostnote: [Linux] Error to install Boostnote 0.8.9-1 version (PKGBUILD)

[alan-garcia]

Hi guys,
I'm trying to install the last version of Boostnote (right now it's 0.8.9-1, May 1 2017) but I can't go on due to PKGBUILD error, I don't know if someone it's happens the same.

From terminal it's says below (sorry, my terminal output is in Spanish, I hope that's understand):

boostnote.js ha sido encontrado 
  -> boostnote.desktop ha sido encontrado 
  -> warning-fix.patch ha sido encontrado 
==> Validando los archivos source con sha512sums…

==> ERROR: Se produjo un fallo en prepare().
    Cancelando…
==> ERROR: Makepkg no ha podido compilar boostnote.
==> ¿Reiniciar la compilación de boostnote? [s/N]

And the line 34 from PKGBUILD file is this:

prepare() {
  cd "${_pkgname}-${pkgver}"

  patch -Np1 -i "${srcdir}/warning-fix.patch" // <--- Line 34
}

Thanks!

Hi @kazup01 , I'm using Manjaro Linux distro, version 17.0.1 (Gellivara), and the Linux Kernel version is 4.29.24-1.

Thank you @alan-garcia san. We will investigate it's cause.

Co-creator of the PKGBUILD here, the cause for this issue is that you are missing the 'patch' package. The build was made for and tested with Arch where this package is always installed but this does not seem to be the case for Manjaro. Try to first install patch with pacman -S patch and then install Boostnote again, it should work.

Hi @clone1612, you're right, I needed to install the patch package, and now it's works!!

Thank you very much, and great app!
