That was quick! I'm just here to confirm that it works now for me™. Many thanks!

What am I missing?

This is a problem with cmake, not with 86Box.

Looks like something changed with the libidn dependency recently which broke this package:

Looks like something changed with the rtmidi dependency recently which broke this package:

[tim@komodo ~/aur/86box]$ 86Box
86Box: error while loading shared libraries: librtmidi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@chungy There's no tgz at https://github.com/${_pkgname}/${_pkgname}/archive/refs/tags/v${pkgver}.tar.gz yet, I don't want to make 4.1-2 just because I use a different URL initially.

@ricolaoz Never use language other than English on AUR, I don't have to know French. For commands, prefix them with LANG=C so they are in English.

AUR helpers are not supported (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers). The error comes purely from pamac not cleaning up the cache beforehand, I'm not familiar with Manjaro, so I have no clue how to cleanbuild there, it should be on Manjaro's wiki.

installation impossible...

Voici le retour de PAMAC-aur : Construction de 86box... ==> Création du paquet 86box 4.0.1-1 (lun. 06 nov. 2023 20:53:57) ==> Vérification des dépendances pour l’exécution… ==> Vérification des dépendances pour la compilation… ==> Récupération des sources… -> 86Box.tgz trouvé ==> Validation des fichiers source avec sha512sums… 86Box.tgz ... ÉCHEC ==> ERREUR : Un ou plusieurs fichiers ne sont pas valides ! Impossible de construire 86box

J'y vois une erreur de checksum, peut-être pas mis à jour par rapport à l'ancien checksum de l'ancienne version du paquet.

I'm sorry for double posting @oscareczek

It works. All is well now. Thank you
