sioyek-dev

Arch Linux PKGBUILD for Sioyek that "just works."

  • Tracks upstream Sioyek's development branch
  • Builds the matching upstream mupdf submodule instead of linking Arch's libmupdf
  • Supports X11/Wayland

Why This Package Exists

This package is intentionally different from the other Sioyek AUR packages:

Package Source MuPDF strategy Best fit
sioyek Stable release Arch libmupdf Released Sioyek builds
sioyek-git Upstream development branch Arch libmupdf Development branch with system libraries
sioyek-dev Upstream development branch Bundled upstream mupdf submodule Development branch with matching MuPDF sources

The main reason to use sioyek-dev is to avoid crashes or build/runtime breakage from Sioyek being compiled against one MuPDF version and run against another. If sioyek-git works well for your system, it is also a valid package.

Installation

makepkg -si
