Archive Password: citronpkg.
If you want to build citron from source, please download this archive and run makepkg in the directory as citron repo & website are no longer available.
Nintendo recently sent DMCA strikes to yuzu and any forks, which is why the website and github repos are not present anymore...
Hello, do you know what happened to citron website?

Fails to build in a clean chroot due to
Could NOT find Qt6Svg (missing: Qt6Svg_DIR)
Maybe need a makedepends on qt6-svg?
Is gamemode meant to be in both makedepends and optdepends?
Alright, it's been fixed lol.
Currently, citron has opted to put their git repo behind cloudflare protection. I am trying out what to do now. But, please do not flag the PKGBUILD out-of-date when it isn't!
As suggested it appears to be a ram shortage issue. I've got a 16-core cpu with 32GB of RAM so I typically build with -j16, but this one package is the only one that runs out so it wasn't obvious to begin with. I built with -j4 and it was fine.
It's my own fault of course because I don't run swap.
The launch script at /usr/bin/citron should probably use #!/usr/bin/env bash instead of #!/usr/bin/env sh, since [[ doesn't work when using a fully POSIX compliant shell (like dash) as the link for /bin/sh. Below is the terminal output when I run it.
❯ ls -la /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx - root 15 Dec 11:38 /bin/sh -> dash*
❯ /usr/bin/citron
/usr/bin/citron: 6: [[: not found
@ekakii
Make sure you're not running out of ram. Use systemd-oomd or the system request oom killer.

I recently patched citron to work with 6.10.0. Part of this patch was using the GuiPrivate. I got a warning where it says that by using the private api, citron may be locked to a specific version of Qt 6. Therefore, I am writing this comment in case a future Qt6 update breaks citron. If a rebuild does not fix it, please notify me. If it does, also notify me :3.
