Thanks for your feedback, developers rolled back their decision about making release in preview branch, which does not exist anymore.

Added ninja to help build time and switched installation to /opt/amiberry in order to switch from local installation to system installation back again, but avoiding those read-only file permissions settings.

Build is currently failing - the preview branch no longer exists

Cloning into 'amiberry'...
done.
fatal: invalid reference: origin/preview

Thanks for your kind words!

Earlier builds had their paths to /usr/local but there were some complaints about config files to be write protected to normal users.

I did not find any solution to keep those file paths for each user independently and binary as well as shared objects and other resources to root.

The workaround for now is to build and package in $HOME/.local of an user. Although I know it is not the definitive solution, the directories and config files are not write-protected anymore.

And the error you reported, for your case I suggest just to build it from source at least for now. If you find a better solution, please let me know to keep this great emulator well maintained for arch community.

First thanks for maintening that cutting edge Amiga gem !

1/ I stumbed upon a snag on installing : the directory is not created by the Aur build "home/jda/.local/share/amiberry" in my case.

All did is a mkdir -p and relaunched the build, is it by design or would you consider adding the mkdir ?

2/ Core dump at launch : /home/jda/.local/bin/amiberry: line 3: 46596 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ./amiberry "$@"

the main issue related by users is that installing in /usr does not keeps users modifications, since config files are stored there.

The fix for that for now is to installing to current user folder, while there is not a better solution for that.

Installing in $HOME is not welcome at all. The pkgbuild have several issues with versioning, at least ine is that this need to build a stable version

  • Fixed installation $PATH from /usr/* to $HOME/.local/*
  • Amiberry is built from preview branch instead of master

For x86-64, the author of amiberry recommends building from the preview branch: https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry/issues/1376#issuecomment-2204696268

Also, installing to /usr/share/amiberry makes the config dirs read-only for users. The GUI silently fails to save the config, which is confusing.

This flag has been already placed in PKGBUILD in earlier versions, bumped to v5.7.2

PLATFORM=x86-64 is not needed when using cmake
