The PKGBUILD for this package is hosted here (contributions are welcome!): https://gitlab.com/dpeukert/pkgbuilds/tree/main/dolphin-emu-git

Looks like the nogui variant has been deprecated, which is causing the PKGBUILD to fail. Here's the relevant commit.

https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/commit/9611279be550ee262f30b7b0d11f92a0d5fc08f5

Removing everything related to it, and changing the _checkoutput line to use $_mainpkgname, gets a successful package build. Here's a patch for the time being. Don't forget to sudo pacman -R dolphin-emu-nogui-git before running makepkg.

@Joomzie, @rubin55: Sorry for the delay, all dependency issues should now be fixed.

It seems mbedtls2 was removed from the regular repositories, and there's a redundant depend on libsfml-system.so. I've created a diff for your PKGBUILD:

I was having some problems possibly related to recent gcc changes and/or upstream changes with regards to fmt12 and missing <cstring> includes. I came up with a patch (add patch -p1 < "$srcdir/fmt12-and-gcc16.patch" to prepare() in PKGBUILD).

Hello, again. New release of sfml (3.1.0-1) breaks the libsfml-network dependency. Looks to be an upstream issue, so we'll likely be waiting until the Dolphin team bumps the dependency version.

❯ yay -S sfml
Sync Dependency (1): sfml-3.1.0-1

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing sfml (3.1.0-1) breaks dependency 'libsfml-network.so=3.0-64' required by dolphin-emu-git

@busbybear: This is a VCS package and therefore does not need to be updated when upstream releases a new version, unless the build breaks (seems to build fine for me).

To add to @rubin55's report, looks like the Dolphin team has updated the CMakeLists.txt to now search for glslang 16. Should be safe to remove the patch for it.

To everyone else, until an update is pushed out, you'll need to make these changes to the PKGBUILD to get a successful build.

Remove these lines:

'glslang-minimum-version.diff'

'ec983a1f046d8325cdea98adb682fb1b93b8f09eaee0cbd969c8fb7b904f2e08003cc097f1e06859e05b603e77320aeed078c33ecbfe27333247864727651c1e'

# Get rid of glslang version, as it's used as an exact match (ABI v16 is compatible, see https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/13974/files/cdfb389509b560b4a70661571d12edcebfb77fdf#r2384216168)
patch --forward -p1 < "$srcdir/glslang-minimum-version.diff"

imgui also needs to be added to the submodules. Add this line to source=:

"$pkgbase-imgui::git+https://github.com/ocornut/imgui.git"

Add this to b2sums=:

'SKIP'

And finally, add this to _submodules=:

[imgui]='imgui/imgui'

Getting this since yesterday:

patching file CMakeLists.txt
Hunk #1 FAILED at 642.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file CMakeLists.txt.rej

@Neros: Should be fixed now.

@Neros: Looks like this was fixed upstream just after I added the patch (https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/14065), will fix ASAP.
