Note: If you use sdl2-compat, you will have issues with the mouse cursor getting stuck in fullscreen.

It has been reported (https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl2-compat/issues/399) and should be fixed in v2.32.58.

Yeah, fair enough. I know how it can get. Well, if you want, you can hop onto Discord and, when you can find the time, we can herd some cats and get a game going!

Thanks for the suggestion, but at the moment I don't really have time to play games at all :D

By the way, are you up for multiplayer matches? I am trying to organise some on Discord right now, if you want to join in.

Infiltrator commented on 2025-09-16 22:46 (UTC)

Thank you! That does make much more sense.

I noticed that the individual bits aren't that big, as everything around got killed :D
It boiled down to the -j option. Unlimited was a bit to much :D And in general the option shouldn't be set, as it can be configured. I took the liberty and removed it.

Ah, okay. I will admit that I do not know the difference between contributors and maintainers. XD

As long as it's now fixed, then all good.

As for the OOM, that is kind of strange. As far as I have seen, none of Ambition's TUs are particularly large. Which bit exactly got OOM-killed?

TrialnError commented on 2025-09-15 18:54 (UTC)

Due to contribution guidelines and the tooling for Arch package maintainers, contributors are advised to avoid bumping pkgrel. They will do that themselves. Shortly after merging there was this commit :) So the fixed version is available for everyone.
So that issue is gone :)
Although I can report that I had an unpleasent experience with the OOM-killer when compiling :D But didn't investigate further yet. Could be due to the fact that I build packages in a tmpfs and there was some clash between needed memory and space required.

Infiltrator commented on 2025-09-14 11:49 (UTC)

Well, that got fixed quickly. Nice! But I noticed that the pkgrel did not get bumped. Is that going to cause a problem for building Ambition?

Great :) Can confirm it working after adding this patch.

What is the best way to handle this? Do we tell the autoconf-archive package to do an update? Do we specify in this PKGBUILD that a certain version of autoconf-archive does not work? Should I just include the m4 directly? Or some other solution?

I will try to get this fix backported.

If that is unsucessful other routes may be taken :)
