PSA: I've started hosting this and all its dependencies as prebuilt packages in my repository for those that want to install them using pacman without messing around with building from the AUR.

@me4twb, the problem is not in this package but in wxlua, also managed by @Alerque.

Just add -D CMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 \

In the lines of the cmake of wxlua PKGBUILD, like this:

        cmake -S . -B build \
                -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
                -D CMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 \
                -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \

This was reported in August in wxlua package, but still no change after 3 months :(.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:20 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
  to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
  to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.

  Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

It's not a good habit to give write access in /usr/share/ subdirectories.

-dm644 of course. It was typo. Fixed my comment.

Instead of compiling lua module coxpall, add "lua-coxpcall" as dependency. It's not a good habit to give write access in /usr/share/ subdirectories. Need to found how to push zerobrane-studio to use more standard ~/.config/... for users.

This one:

/bin/lua: /usr/share/lua/5.4/timerwheel/init.lua:33: module 'coxpcall' not found:
    no field package.preload['coxpcall']

fixing by this: $ luarocks install coxpcall

But, we have another problem: /usr/share/zbstudio/cfg is forbidden to access, because of rights. To fix it, need to change the PKGBUILD:

this line

install -dm644 "$pkgdir/usr/share/zbstudio/cfg"

to this:

install -dm655 "$pkgdir/usr/share/zbstudio/cfg"

upd: -dm[6]55 of course

Another missing dependency: lua-coxpcall

/bin/lua: /usr/share/lua/5.4/timerwheel/init.lua:33: module 'coxpcall' not found:
    no field package.preload['coxpcall']
    no file 'lualibs/coxpcall.lua'
    no file 'lualibs/coxpcall/coxpcall.lua'
    no file 'lualibs/coxpcall/init.lua'

Solution:

sudo pacman -S lua-binaryheap
pacaur -S lua-timerwheel

• lua-timerwheel and lua-binaryheap should be added in depends

Looks like it misses dependencies. Right after install it crashes on start with following message:

/usr/bin/lua: /usr/share/lua/5.4/copas.lua:21: module 'binaryheap' not found:

This error I managed to circumvent by installing community/lua-binaryheap. But now I am stuck with this:

/usr/bin/zbstudio is a shell script that invokes /usr/bin/lua. Editing that script to invoke /usr/bin/lua5.3 instead seems like a good interim solution if you need to run zbstudio right now.
