Arch Linux User Repository

Might be possible to do something about that with: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/blob/master/doc/steamlinuxruntime-known-issues.md#sharing-directories-with-the-container

But you can also just force steamvr to launch without a runtime. (https://github.com/Scrumplex/Steam-Play-None)

When I install on my computer with Nvidia GPU,I found it lacks cuda as a dependence. After installing extra/cuda, export PATH="$PATH:/opt/cuda/bin" is also required for compiling FFmpeg.

Hi! This package is currently failing to build due to the following error. I suspect this has to do with the fact that CUDA depends on GCC 12, while Arch now ships with GCC 13.

alvr-git also fails to build with a different error.

Forcing a GCC-12 build still fails though (I did that by adding to $PATH a directory where cc, c++, gcc and g++ are all symlinked to /usr/bin/g{cc,++}-12, which might not be correct, it was just a quick test), but with a different error:

error: could not compile `alvr_server` (lib) due to previous error
warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...

Hi @arbitar - the latest build worked great here today. No consolation, I realize, but maybe offers a little hope?

Depending on how your Rust is installed, a rustup update may help - then take things from the top? I'm guessing something is out of date in there (cargo --version here is 1.70.0)

Hi all,

I'm having an issue building this and am struggling to figure out exactly where the issue is coming from. I am very not at all hip with Rust compilation but it seems to me that every Cargo.toml in this project uses some kind of completely unsupported configuration inheritance syntax? And thus will not even attempt to begin building. Am I missing something?

ERROR: failed checking for nvcc.

After installing cuda and updating the PATH I still get the same error 😕

For the git Version installing Cuda and updating the PATH works.

Got same fail as the others below. Guess this is a no go.

Git version appears to compile fine.

@stabares

You just need to reboot your machine (or logout and log back in). Installing CUDA does automatically add it to your PATH, but that change only takes affect in a new session. Restarting after installing CUDA allowed the ALVR package to continue to build.

Here it tries to use CUDA and fails if it's not installed. Maybe it sees the nvidia drivers and tries to use it? After installing CUDA it fails to locate nvcc (located at /opt/cuda/bin/nvcc). Added /opt/cuda/bin to PATH and it built fine, but there probably is a better way to tell it where it's located.

I'm building it on Manjaro, btw.

Should compile with suggested changes to alvr.patch
