Arch Linux User Repository

The following patch allows it to build on ppc64le. I used a 4k kernel and was able to play "AndYetItMoves", though it was quit slow.

@PseudoSpock: Thanks for the notification. I'm AFK right now. Will update in a few days.

Got 0.3.0 to build. Just tested it with Zoom, which still works.

Version 0.3.0 was just released.

For Asahi Linux users on M1, you'll need to go to PKGBUILD and replace -DARM_DYNAREC=ON with -DM1=1 under the if [[ $CARCH == "aarch64" ]]; then section, or else you'll get errors running programs.

Build it again using your PKGBUILD (about the same rules) and it works too :). Thank you very much!!

@Popolon: I added riscv64. Can you test this? I don't have riscv64 hardware, so I can't test it myself.

Please, add for riscv64 support (it works on RISCV64 after my tests):

arch=('x86_64' 'aarch64' 'riscv64')

in the build()

    elif [[ $CARCH == "riscv64" ]]; then
    cmake -B build -S . \
          -DRV64=1 \
          -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \
              -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

and in the package()

    elif [[ $CARCH == "riscv64" ]]; then
      make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install

So odd, I also had a build failure using yay

 -> error making: box64

But manually cloning the repo and running makepkg it worked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@danielmazurkiewi: Sorry, cannot reproduce, it works perfectly fine for me.

Two things: - Please only report errors that occur when building packages through makepkg. AUR helpers like yay are not supported. - Please add more information if you want to have people debug a potential issue. The quoted lines are printed due to an error during building of the package. That only happens when it's triggered by an error of the actual build process. That's the error you want to look for and solve.
