Trouble with quickshell-git compilation on CachyOS

[FreshinS]

I'm trying to install these dotfiles on CachyOS but I get this error when compiling quickshell-git. I tried different kernels but all have the same error. I use cachy-lto now

lto1: fatal error: bytecode stream in file ‘/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/15.1.1/../../../../lib/libbreakpad_client.a’ generated with LTO version 15.0 instead of the expected 15.1
compilation terminated.
lto-wrapper: fatal error: /usr/bin/c++ returned 1 exit status
compilation terminated.
/usr/bin/ld: error: lto-wrapper failed
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

Cachy ships compiler-optimized packages so there's that mismatch. You can disable breakpad according to the manual build instructions on Quickshell docs or use the Chaotic AUR package (which has breakpad disabled). Note that you won't be able to submit bug reports to Quickshell this way

I doubt this is the problem : I am using CachyOS's repositories and I could compile quickshell-git from the AUR without any problem. This looks like a compiler version mismatch.

Was google-breakpad installed before? If yes, could you try reinstalling it to recompile it?

I had originally installed google-breakpad-git. I just uninstalled, cleaned caches and rebuilt it and upon cleanBuilding quickshell-git it raises the following:

/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccRq1uNY.ltrans8.ltrans.o: in function `qs::crash::CrashHandler::init()::{lambda(google_breakpad::MinidumpDescriptor const&)#1}::operator()(google_breakpad::MinidumpDescriptor const&) const':

which is the same behavior as before rebuilding google-breakpad-git

I'd also like to add, fuck whoever loves to DDoS the AUR...

Uhhh I was watching Maze Runner and fucking around in the src files and apparently disabling crash reports just completly fixed it. I haven't tried rebooting the pc but I guess adding -DCRASH_REPORTER=OFF in the CMake flag list in the PKGBUILD file and rebuilding it with pkgbuild just kinda works

[totchi-lagawi]

Of course, since Breakpad is the actual crash reporter.

I just did a clean install of google-breakpad-git and quickshell-git and I got the same problem. Install google-breakpad instead, which provides the version Quickshell was made for (v2024.02.16). It seems they are preparing the 2025 version, which apparently has breaking changes in its API.
