Doesn't build with libsass 3.6.3

[mrjavum]

I think the problem is the same: libsass 3.6.3 do not support any more compound selector

My favourite theme hands-down! Was very sad when I couldn't build it on Ubuntu 20.04 with sassc 3.6.3. For what it's worth, was able to successfully build and activate in Ubuntu 20.04 with these steps:

#!/bin/bash

# Download sassc and dependencies from Bionic
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/365856925/multiarch-support_2.27-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/353281752/libsass0_3.4.8-1_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/344203197/sassc_3.4.5-1_amd64.deb

# Install sassc and dependencies from Bionic
sudo dpkg -i multiarch-support_2.27-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libsass0_3.4.8-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i sassc_3.4.5-1_amd64.deb

# Install theme build-time dependencies
sudo apt install -y autoconf automake git optipng inkscape gnome-shell libgtk-3-dev gnome-themes-extra gtk2-engines-murrine

# Clone theme from Github and build
git clone https://github.com/andreisergiu98/arc-flatabulous-theme --depth 1 && cd arc-flatabulous-theme
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
sudo make install

# Clean up old sassc
sudo dpkg -r sassc
sudo dpkg -r libsass0
sudo dpkg -r multiarch-support

Not ideal, but hey - at least a stop gap until we get the upstream changes to common.scss and application.scss in.

Thank you @nicbet worked fine.

I had no problem building the theme with libsass 3.6.4.

Note: But I had a problem with Inkscape (1.0rc1 09960d6f05, 2020-04-09), had to change export-png to export-filename in Makefiles (cf https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/516)

Had this exact same issue (with export-png option), maybe different issue should be made for this?
Still, after resolving that, I could not build with libsass 3.6.3.

Note: If someone is having the same issue with export-png, this simple command will solve it
find . -name 'Makefile' | xargs sed '-i' 's/--export-png/--export-filename/g'

I hope this issue can be addressed! I am the maintainer of the install-gnome-themes and I keep get people opening issues regarding this particular theme due to this particular error.

I would submit a PR myself, but I'm not sure what the right fix would be (how to not use @Compound).

[Briffou]

Not sure if this issue is directly related to this theme (although it would also be a good thing to update the "origin" of this theme, from https://github.com/arc-design/arc-theme to https://github.com/jnsh/arc-theme for instance).
But as I said I had no problem building this theme with libsass 3.6.4 and as you can see in the release note of libsass, version 3.6.4 fix regressions introduced in previous version.

[andreisergiu98]

@Briffou I agree. I will try to rebase on jnsh's fork, it seems he already removed compound selectors, so it should solve this issue and maybe others.

[davidnash]

I'm getting this issue too. I get lots of "Compound selectors may not longer be extended" messages, and then eventually:

make[3]: *** [Makefile:554: gtk.css] Killed
make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/david/arc-flatabulous-theme/common/gtk-3.0/3.20'
make[2]: *** [Makefile:429: install-recursive] Error 1

[Briffou]

@andreisergiu98 It should work fine, I've done it recently (only for gtk 3.24 by laziness 😞 ), you can look at this branch https://github.com/Briffou/arc-theme/tree/arc-flatabulous (which also have a commit with personal changes, so it's not "pure" arc-theme).

A temporary workaround is to compile and use sassc v3.5.0.
I advise you not to install packages (.deb/.rpm) intended for other or older distributions, they could pollute your current installation (eg. by replacing recent versions of these packages).

• Compile it yourself:

  mkdir sass-build
  cd sass-build
  git clone https://github.com/sass/sassc.git
  (cd sassc && git checkout 3.5.0)
  . sassc/script/bootstrap
  (cd libsass && git checkout 3.5.0)
  (cd sass-spec && git checkout v3.5.0)
  make -C sassc -j
  # sassc binary will be compiled in ./sassc/bin/sassc
  

• Use the one I already compiled (statically linked, glibc>=2.19, amd64):
  📥 sassc-3.5.0_glibc2.19_amd64.tar.gz

Then set the SASSC environment variable to this new sassc binary before running autogen:

cd arc-flatabulous-theme
export SASSC="/path/to/sass-build/sassc/bin/sassc"
./autogen.sh
make
