Hello,
and thank you for this beautiful distribution.
I need some old application, but it has been very important to me.
I tried to compile peerguardian from AUR, without sucess. It depends on qt4, qt4 compiled without problems.
Please, I need this app, it's very unique and valuable to me. Thank you.

"peerguardian" package does not exist in AUR. But maybe you men pgl package -> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PeerGuardian_Linux
but is much better use this newest version, which was convert to qt5 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pgl-git/
In AUR there are
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pgl/
as well as
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pgl-git/
Tried both.
Errors that I pasted are from each one.
did you read the comments? second comment contains link for fixed version ( PKGBUILD)
This is the patch
https://github.com/eserlxl/pgl-git-AUR-Patches
Can you provide any detailed instruction, it's very hard for me to patch ?
I red this
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Patching_packages
It's very hard to understand.
but you need nothing patching, you should just use this PKGBUILD https://github.com/eserlxl/pgl-git-AUR-Patches/blob/main/PKGBUILD-fixed
edit2: whoever wrote the PKGBUILD, he really can not write PKGBUILD as well as he can not assemble patch
working PKGBUILD and patch:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alium/share/master/pgl/pgld-gcc10fix.patch
configure: error: Qt lupdate Compiler not found!
Thank you.
my PKGBUILD works without error with qt5, tested by myself.
if you have something wrong set up in the system or a mess in the settings, I am not responsible for that 8) ;)
I normally do not do this - so consider this a rare exception - but I have added the pgl-git package to the Ominverse repo, which can be added as per https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/UnofficialUserRepositories
I have not tested it, so use it at your own risk.
Thank you very much. It seems that it works.
Be sure to add usr/bin/pkexec as sudo front-end.
Any chance for getting back Peerguardian to your repository ? Thank you.
In case some is interested, after installing of qt5-tools, everything is working as it should.
I have trouble installing PGL from Aur.
If you are not interested in re-upload of Peerguardian in your repo, can you upload it somewhere else, so I can keep that file ?
@RIA77, we already answered to you regarding Peerguardian here: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,3609.0.html
That software is unmaintained for a long time and won't be added until it is maintained. Ask the original author if he would like to maintain it. If he refuses or doesn't answer, we unfortunately can't help you.
