Please modify this package to build with SDL3.

Augustus with SDL2 is unplayable on Wayland/HiDPI because the visible cursor and actual click/hover position don’t line up when display scaling is enabled. I tested a local SDL3 build and it fixes this issue.

PKGBUILD changes:

depends=(sdl3 sdl3_mixer glibc)

and add this to the cmake options:

-DSDL_VERSION=3

Related upstream issue: https://github.com/Keriew/augustus/issues/1226

Augustus has added AV1 playback, so now it has the easyav1 and dav1d submodules that need to be checked out for the build to work, and, in turn, these need to have the nasm package installed on the system in order to compile.

Adding the following to the PKGBUILD before the build() directive takes care of fetching the submodules:

prepare() {
  cd "augustus"
  git submodule update --init --recursive
}

You need -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" with current master until they fix #770: https://github.com/Keriew/augustus/issues/770

The following diff does this, but additionally instead moves content to /usr/share instead of /opt. It seems like the suggested installation method is to simply keep the Caesar 3 files vanilla, so I suggest changing notes to accomodate this.

I'm unsure if the pixmaps are correct, they're not something I use so I have no good way of testing them.

@gonX: thanks for the info!

This time i just added the information to re-link the assets folder, but maybe i/we should work on a solution which does not require so much user attention (even for a -git package).

They've now moved assets into res/assets

Sorry for the delay @igno2k, i was not reachable for some days...

But yep, they're removed the 'mods' folder and created an 'assets' folder, as seen in this PR: https://github.com/Keriew/augustus/pull/221

I updated the PKGBUILD accordingly.

Thank You!

The mods folder does not exist anymore and the PKGBUILD fails.

Can you remove line 48: cp -r "$srcdir/${_pkgname}/mods" "${pkgdir}/opt/${_pkgname}-game/"

Without this line it builds fine.
