Error making: borg-backup-gui-git

I wanted to test borg-backup-gui-git but couldn’t, due to:

Info: creating stash file /home/user/.cache/yay/borg-backup-gui-git/src/Borg-BackUP-GUI/src/.qmake.stash
/home/user/.cache/yay/borg-backup-gui-git/PKGBUILD: line 28: make: command not found
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: borg-backup-gui-git

I did sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel and installed all groups (as was suggested as a fix to some similar problems elsewhere on the forums). The next try resulted in bigger and fancier error messages when trying to build, but eventually the same failure.

Thankful for help on how to proceed

So post this “bigger and fancier” error. The error above just shows that you did not installed the base-devel group. If it is the same error, you still did not installed the base-devel group.

Sorry for being inaccurate: the newer errors are actually warnings, variations of this:

borg_backup_gui.cpp: In member function ‘void Worker::process()’:
borg_backup_gui.cpp:1941:11: warning: ignoring return value of ‘int system(const char*)’ declared with attribute ‘warn_unused_result’ [-Wunused-result]
 1941 |     system(qPrintable(SH + " " + PATH + "/profiles/" + BackUP_Name.replace("\"","") + ".PASSPHRASE"));
      |     ~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is not an error and can be ignored.

The actual error message remains the same:

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: borg-backup-gui-git

The output of sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel now is lots of lines stating various items are up to date - skipping before finishing with there is nothing to do

I believe that indicates I have the base-devel group?

Ok, some are actual errors:

main.cpp:47:10: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
   47 |     qInfo(qPrintable(drive));

Yes, you installed the base-devel group.

Usually the error is one of the last lines. Not in this case, it is more in the middle.

However since the project looks abandoned, I would not get my hopes up. You probably need to adapt the source to new compiler and library versions.

You can maybe remove the error by telling the compiler to treat this more like a warning.

Reaching too high grounds for me, I think…

I guess that’s the “last nail in the coffin” then. The screenshots looks cool, but I guess unless the Borg team decides to pick up and deliver their own gui that’s the “solution” to this thread. I’ll test Vorta instead.

I really hope they will not do this. The main advantage of borg is that there is no GUI. Just a few commands with simple options, that can run anywhere.

Borg is borg. It’s CLI. And other third-party GUI front-ends already exist, namely Vorta.

I use “backintime” that works fine for me!
