The C++ library is provided by extra/libsigrok. The -git package also needs to include it for compatibility with C++ projects, including pulseview, by the same developer. If you don't like it, open an issue against the official Arch package.
$ pacman -Fl extra/libsigrok | grep 'cxx\.' libsigrok usr/include/libsigrokcxx/libsigrokcxx.hpp libsigrok usr/lib/libsigrokcxx.so libsigrok usr/lib/libsigrokcxx.so.4 libsigrok usr/lib/libsigrokcxx.so.4.1.1 libsigrok usr/lib/pkgconfig/libsigrokcxx.pc Icons are installed by the make file. They are also included in extra/libsigrok. If you don't like it, complain to the developer. $ pacman -Fl extra/libsigrok | grep -E '(png|svg)' libsigrok usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/mimetypes/libsigrok.png libsigrok usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/mimetypes/libsigrok.svg Your accusation is not appreciated. Users can see the changes on git and compare with extra/ligsigrok. If you cared, you could have updated the package yourself rather than disown, or replied to the 2024 comment in a timely manner to explain why you refuse to add some depends to build the cxx library. Instead, you chose to ignore it.
