@thebigboo Weird, could you try running /opt/bizhawk/EmuHawkMono.sh directly from the terminal and see if BizHawk also exits out?

thebigboo commented on 2025-04-21 22:36 (UTC)

@bemxio Running it from console causes a crash but now it runs otherwise.

@thebigboo I've changed the PKGBUILD a bit to give execute permissions to any user for the EmuHawkMono.sh file, please try running BizHawk now and let me know if that change has made a difference.

fish: Unknown command. '/usr/bin/bizhawk' exists but is not an executable file. Still error despite being added to games group.

@v1993 Thank you for mentioning it, I added the message inside post_install(). I don't remember why I didn't just copy the .install file over from the previous bizhawk-monort package, either way, it's here now. I apologize for not adding or mentioning it beforehand.

Hmm... looks like the notice I wrote didn't make it over to this package.

To quote package etiquette from the wiki:

All important messages should be echoed during install using an .install file. For example, if a package needs extra setup to work, directions should be included.

So please, use that to include a message that users must be added to the games group, ideally with the explanation you've included in the previous comment. This will save everyone involved a lot of frustration. And thank you for working on the package in the first place!

@dmitsuki It is required, since BizHawk needs to be able to write files inside the directory where it is located in order to work correctly, and giving write permissions to every user would be a security risk. If you have any other solutions to that problem, feel free to propose it here!

@YoshiRulz

Considering how ridiculous that is, I don't think I will. I will simply build it myself. Keep up the bad work.

@YoshiRulz Thank you, I forgot to mention that before, my fault. Anyway yeah, before installing the package, the current user must be added to the games group in order to be able to run BizHawk.
