Arch Linux

Note: If some controls don't seem to be working you may have to manually set your control keys.

Release 8 fixes problems with the patches.
Game should be playable out of the box with people that use altgr now too.

I just realised that makepkg --source doesn't do any validity checking and somehow one of the patches here got corrupted. I'll fix this soon.

Release 7 corrects a variable I missed.

Release 6 mostly just cleans up the style of the PKGBUILD.
I removed the overview because that's actually available in the README.

Release 5: Now compatible with pacman3

buggs, could you please provide more information about those different install programs? Thought there was only one? I\'m using the -D parameter quite extensively in my pkgbuilds and never heard of any problems.

Release 4 includes buggs\' suggestions. Thanks!

The default flags to the C compiler for archlinux are defined in /etc/makepkg.conf.
So the Makfile gets those (from makepkg via ENV) and append their extra flags, that what the += does.

This way it works for people on amd64, since they have different flags in /etc/makepkg.conf e.g. -fPIC that they need, and also for people that customize their flags.

-D for install is also bad because it is non-standard and worse nearly for each of the different install programs it means a different thing!

Yeah that makes sense to mkdir once than install -D multiple times heh. What does that makefile change do? Please explain because I\'m not too savvy in C or compiling code or anything.

Please avoid install -D and just use mkdir -p + install.
And just override their CLFAGS like this:
