This package targets x86-64-v3 (avx/avx2), while attempting to respect other compiler and linker settings in makepkg.conf.

  • The upstream makefile does not use the standard build flags, producing binaries with various issues, including attempting to execute illegal instructions when run on a different processor than they were built on. The maintainers of the other ares-emu packages have opted not to correct the problem, citing upstream intention.
  • To make a stable version, set _build_git=false
  • To target another instruction-set level, edit CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS in makepkg.conf and make this package with _build_avx=false
    • Editing makepkg.conf will affect other packages. If this is not desired, the flags can be edited in the PKGBUILD.
