As the post-install message says, you need to:

  • buy the original game from Steam, GoG, or Humble Bundle
  • Extract the game data to a custom directory and set the AQUARIA_DATA_PATH environment variable to it (in a terminal before starting the game, or in your own custom launch script)

Please I downloaded with "paru -S aquaria-ose-git" but when i try to run the game it says "Error!! Variables data not found! Aborting...". How can i get the game to run, Is there any other thing i need to download and install. I am new to gaming on linux.

adopted and fixed

It builds successfully thanks to upstream updates, but following changes are necessary:

source: change to https, thus 'git+https://github.com/AquariaOSE/Aquaria.git' cmake: add this flag: -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5

For those following only this package, note that since Aquaria OSE has started putting out stable releases, I've created the 'aquaria-ose' package to track them. This 'aquaria-ose-git' package will continue to track the master branch of the git repository. Belated introduction for this package: ======================================================================= | This package only provides the (improved) game engine. | | To play it you also need to buy the original game data, e.g. from: | - Humble Bundle <http://www.bit-blot.com/aquaria/buy.html> | - GOG.com <http://www.gog.com/game/aquaria> | - Steam <http://store.steampowered.com/app/24420> | | And then either: | - Install the corresponding "aquaria-data-*" AUR package, or | - Extract the game data to a custom directory and set the AQUARIA_DATA_PATH environment variable to it. =======================================================================

Thanks, smls! You are a genius. The new PKGBUILD and game work great. :)

smls commented on 2013-11-05 17:17 (UTC)

The PKGBUILD now also compiles Aquaria with the SDL2 backend, which offers various advantages compared to the old SDL one. In case this causes any issues for anyone, please leave a comment.

smls commented on 2013-11-05 17:09 (UTC)

@cstandard: It turned out to be an upstream bug. A fix has been merged into the master branch of the Aquaria git repository an hour ago, so I updated the PKGBUILD to track that branch again. Just re-install this package, and you should be able to enjoy the latest and greatest version of Aquaria, with swirling flame balls and all... :)

@cstandard: Thanks for reporting this issue, I can reproduce it now after rebuilding. It seems to be a problem specific to this package, in combination with recent upstream git revisions. I'm still looking into the details, but in the meantime I've locked the package to a specific (older) git revision with which the problem does not occur.
