oh-my-zsh failed to build; Installation Issue on Arch Linux

[JSTN]

When attempting to install hyprdots, everything else works fine except the installation of oh-my-zsh. I get the following error.

I solved this by downloading the commit (0c9b42a) prior to this update that caused the problem and replacing the content in the src folder inside the oh-my-zsh-git which is inside the yay folder in .cache and opening a terminal in the oh-my-zsh-git folder and using makepkg -si

I am still encountering the same issue even after copying the files over from the specific ohmyzsh commit.
Let me tell you, what i did.
Downloaded (0c9b42a) from ohmyzsh repo
Went to ~/.cache/yay/oh-my-zsh-git/src wiped the two files that were present, and pasted the contents of the downloaded commits inside it.
Changed directory back, and ran makepkg -si
Got the same error. Are you using the latest oh-my-zsh-git version i.e. oh-my-zsh-git r6192.be4a95297-1? Or any older version?

For anyone who just want to build it successfully.

the error is due to the latest patch.
So please navigate to the PKGBUILD

Find that line then just comment it for now.

If the package updates soon, and the issue is fixed, you'll get the update too.

This workaround should not break it, as we are only removing the patch. (Ig the patch is not critical for functionality)

I just tried to comment that line out, when I run the install script again it still fails giving me the same error. After I get the same error I go back to the PKGBUILD file and the file got reverted back to default, thus removing my comment.

How would I be able to install that specific commit? Im using minimal arch and I'm quite new to linux as well so im still learning my way around things.

Ops I forgot to continue,

after editing the file , build oh-my-zsh first
in archlinux:

makepkg -sfi inside the PKGBUILD directory.

now oh-my-zsh should be installed .

Run the installer, then it should skip the oh-my-zsh as it is already installed

Noted, I'll give that a try and come back with updates, your help is very much appreciated! :D

This worked perfectly! thank you very much
