I went ahead and gave this a go.

  1. Updated versions in the PKGBUILD.
  2. Adjusted the patches that happen during prepare(). Regenerated md5sums. I'm far from a C dev so I may not have done this correctly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
  3. Had to add a missing dir (src/dfhack/plugins/remotefortressreader/proto/tmp/).
  4. It built correctly, but fails to run:
[dcunningham@machine ~]$ dfhack
env: ‘./dwarfort’: No such file or directory

If I run /opt/dwarffortress/dwarfort directly then it seems to run correctly. I get a dfhack terminal and the main dwarffortress window, can generate a world and embark.

I've got some weird bugs though. Seg faults/crashes whenever I try to hit the "Done" key for saving keybindings. And none of my worlds/saves seem to be persisting?

When I run dwarffortress by itself I am not seeing any of those bugs. Saves for that are located in ~/.local/share/dwarffortress/save/, but saves for the dfhack version would be in /opt/dwarffortress/save/? Many files in ~/.local/share/dwarffortress/ symlink to their /opt/dwarffortress/ equivalent including the data/ dir, but not save/.

I did previously have the Steam version installed via Steam, but iirc, that should have been all contained/separated from the native installation?

They've updated the base DF package, but I don't currently hav an Arch install to test the changes that need to be made to update this.

Getting an error that says 'Main index file missing/corrupted. The file "index" must be in the "data" folder. Make sure DF decompressed into its folders properly.'

I installed dwarffortress separately/normally from the official repos - looks like it's version 0.47.05-2. It works fine if I run it with dwarffortress, only fails when I start with dfhack.

There's an index file in both /opt/data/ and ~/.dwarffortress/data/ - do I need to do something special to make sure dfhack is looking in the right place?

AFAIK, I have the same situation on another machine, dfhack 0.47.05-4 on top of dwarfortress from the official repos and haven't had a problem there.

Nevermind, for some reason, this machine had dfhack aliased to /opt/dwarffortress/dfhack. Removed that and all is well.

@brknrobot Can this be done on your end with:

CC=gcc CXX=g++ makepkg

I'm not sure what the package guidelines are on overriding compilers and/or other settings.

dfhack only compiles with gcc. Perhaps you could add

export CC=gcc
export CXX=g++

for those of us who have switched our default compiler to clang :)

So, why hide the DFHack version in the PKGBUILD other than to hide the fact that you're pushing betas in a so called stable package? The upstream URL even has the word "stable" in it.

Sleedy, the operative word in your quote is "built". DFHack does not require a version of DF to build, only to run.

It is trivially easy for users that want to use the betas to do so. By pushing betas in a package that doesn't make it obvious that they're betas, you make it harder for those that don't want to use betas to avoid them.

@Ziusudra The link you refer to states the following:

Stable packages package stable releases: Release candidates (i.e. 1.0.0-rc1), alpha (e.g. 1.0.0-alpha1) and beta (e.g. 1.0.0-beta1) releases are not allowed and are only to be used under the following circumstances:

  • [...]

  • The non-stable release allows for the package to be built (e.g. problems introduced due to updated dependencies) and those changes can not otherwise be backported easily.

Pushed the new version a few hours ago. I've been making AUR releases for the beta's in the past as well, so I'll keep on doing that.

Ziusudra commented on 2021-02-12 08:52 (UTC)

It having been done in the past does not make it ok, in my opinion.

It currently builds just fine, and runs fine with the matching DF version, it just doesn't run with the updated DF, which is what holding a package in pacman.conf is for.

The -git package conflict is there in case anyone does make that package, which anyone is welcome to do.
