Hi, I've been struggling for a couple of days to get Cozy Audibook reading working. Initially I used Pamac from the AUR repo, not working. Then same agian with Pamac the git version.
Then I tried
Code:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/cozy.git

cd cozy

makepkg -si
and this is what I got,
Code:
error: target not found: python2
error: target not found: nodejs-lts-argon
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
==> Missing dependencies:
  -> python2
  -> nodejs-lts-argon
  -> npm
  -> couchdb
  -> coffee-script
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies
All advice welcomed. Using Pamac I got no errors and an entry in the xfce menu. When using the git clone https:///.... I got the errors and no menu entry.

Pamac is an AUR helper, it resolves and finds dependencies automatically. When you use makepkg -is, the i stands for install and the s stands for sync dependencies. It will try doing that with pacman I think. Since those aren't in the default repos it can't find those. So you will have to manually install those from the AUR as well before attempting to install cozy from the AUR.
 
Thanks, f33dm3bits. What is the correct way to install dependencies?

The easiest option would probably be installing yay from the AUR and then installing it using yay.
Code:
yay -S cozy-audiobooks
 
Well Mr @f33dm3bits,
I felt like a blind man looking for a needle in a haberdashery shop.
Anyway I got yay installed. Now what?
Code:
1 cozy-audiobooks-git                      (Installed) (Build Files Exist)
==> Packages to cleanBuild?
==> [N]one [A]ll [Ab]ort [I]nstalled [No]tInstalled or (1 2 3, 1-3, ^4)
==>
I know I've gotta pick one but which one?

So you can probably just press A and then N.
 
Fist of all @f33dm3bits thanks for your patience. It did run with
Code:
WARNING: Using existing $srcdir/ tree
and
Code:
WARNING: You should add the boolean check kwarg to the run_command call.
         It currently defaults to false,
         but it will default to true in future releases of meson.
         See also: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/9300
also
Code:
WARNING: Running the setup command as `meson [options]` instead of `meson setup [options]` is ambiguous and deprecated.
and
Code:
WARNING: Library listed in 'depends' is not required by any files: libgranite.so
Finally

What you make of this I do no know. Thanks again for your assistance. And no it still does not run.
 
Looks like that PKGBUILD hasn't been updated in about two years. I tried installing it and when I try to launch it I get a traceback, so I would report it to the PKGBUILD maintainer.
 
The flatpak was updated back in August 2022.

I couldn't get it to work right, so I just use audacious. ofc this is on Debian and not Arch.
