@roadrunner please consider adding the packages listed below as dependencies since they're already available as arch packages. They can also be optional dependencies but I recommend having them as direct dependencies since they're listed as "recommended" by CrossOver.

Some helpful tips:

  • When attempting to register your copy run the app from the terminal. This will allow a GUI sudo password prompt to show up when needed in the registration step.

  • After installing CrossOver check for issues by running /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxfix --show. This is what showed up for me:

Distribution: Arch Linux 64-bit (arch)
Product: cx25

The following issues can be fixed:
* https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/Diag/missinggstreamer1base2 (libgstaudioconvert.so, 32-bit, recommended)
  pacman -Syu lib32-gst-plugins-base

* https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/Diag/missinggstreamer1good2 (libgstavi.so, 32-bit, recommended)
* https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/Diag/missinggstreamer1mpg123audiodec (libgstmpg123.so, 32-bit, recommended)
  pacman -Syu lib32-gst-plugins-good

* https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/Diag/missinglibgstreamer1 (libgstreamer-1.0.so.0, 32-bit, recommended)
  pacman -Syu lib32-gstreamer

* https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/Diag/missinglibpcsclite (libpcsclite.so.1, 32-bit, recommended)
  pacman -Syu lib32-pcsclite


The following issues cannot be fixed on this platform. Check online for more information:
* https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/Diag/missinglibsane (libsane.so.1, 32-bit, recommended)

I was able to fix them all except the last one since lib32-sane is no longer in AUR.

@yochananmarqos cxfixes contains fixes for all of the distros for all of the possibilities, required, recommended, and suggested. 24 dependencies are required, so, if anything, this pkgbuild lists too many. 60 are 'recommended', and 27 'suggested'. One could argue that since recommended and suggested are needed for full functionality, they are all required, but by the same token, you can run /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxfix to have crossover run the installer for anything missing as well (which brings me back to 24 dependencies, not the 77 that are listed). Do we know if there are packaging guidelines that govern whether dependencies not strictly necessary should be included?

@roadrunner: It seems there may be missing optional dependencies. See /opt/cxoffice/share/crossover/data/cxfixes.xml.

In general, packagers should work with upstream, otherwise we get a mess like what you see in that file.

If you are trying to register your copy and are having issues like the following under wayland:

Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified cxregister:error: Verify $DISPLAY: it is not set, invalid or you are not allowed to access it

assuming your uid is 1000 like mine, (use the 'id' command to find your UID number)

run: $ sudo -HE DISPLAY=:0 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxregister

This allowed me to register finally, codeweaver's forums were very unhelpful.

Removed gstreamer0.10 from optdepends.

Thanks MarsSeed for your input.

MarsSeed commented on 2025-02-06 08:59 (UTC)

Please kindly remove all gstreamer0.10 and lib32-gstreamer0.10 optdepends: Crossover can no longer use them (since at least 2023 AFAIR).

The outdated flag has been removed without an update: Crossover 24.0.5 has only been published for mac. Version 24.0.4 is as of writing this the current version of crossover on linux. Feel free to flag the package as outdated once this situation changes.

roadrunner commented on 2024-02-03 17:50 (UTC)

Major rework of crossover.install based on install/remove scripts from the debian crossover package. This should solve the issues with left over files under /usr/share.

The uninstallation leaves a few files (e.g. your license) under /opt/cxoffice.

Thanks xiota and kidonng for your input.

The icons are not correctly removed upon uninstalling. pre_remove() should be updated like this:

- rm -f /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/*x*/apps/cxmenu-*.png
+ rm -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*x*/apps/cxmenu-*.png
+ rm -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*x*/mimetypes/cxoffice-*.png

There's also an empty directory left at /opt/cxoffice/support/desktopdata/cxoffice-0/cxmenu/Launchers/StartMenu. I suppose doing something like rm -r /opt/cxoffice/support/desktopdata would be enough.

A minor note, maybe update the URL to https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover.

Please remove replaces directive, in accordance with AUR submission guidelines.
