I updated the package.

  • Fixed the CPP20 type mismatch when building.
  • Since Wayland support isn't very good, write_stylus will run with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11. In other words, it runs directly in X11, and with xwayland in Wayland.

All the issues have been resolved on my end, but if anyone is still experiencing problems, please leave a comment.

I am experiencing the same issue as theraa. Segfault on startup. Didn't find any help in the linked thread in the latest comment from envolution. Segfaults with a minor difference in error message if using --glRender 0

This is on a framework 12 running gnome and wayland.

If anyone else is experiencing the issue described by theraa please see https://github.com/styluslabs/Write/issues/27

Write rSCRIBBLE_REV_NUMBER
nvg2: GL vector texture renderer (32 x 32)
Segmentation fault         (core dumped) write_stylus

Got this error when trying to launch, I couldn't find out if this is an Xorg only application but installing xwayland didn't change anything

@wild_penguin following up on this as it seems to have been addressed in sdl and sdl2-compat as per upstream and the sdl2-compat devs https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/sdl2-compat/-/issues/1 ... https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl2-compat/issues/274

if you're still using this package, can you let me know if the issues are resolved?

thanks for the report and investigation @Wild_Penguin - Unfortunately even though I explicitly request SDL2 here, it's provided by and replaced by Arch's upstream sdl12-compat. Based on https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl2-compat/issues/255#issuecomment-2624668819 this should likely (hopefully) be sorted relatively soon.

Currently broken, seems like because of sdl2-compat a bug in SDL3.

See https://github.com/styluslabs/Write/issues/9 and https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/sdl2-compat/-/issues/1

this is now converted to a source based package as required by AUR guidelines please report any urgent issues by flagging out of date, or comment if it's minor

There is a build for arm64 available at http://styluslabs.com/faq.
