Arch Linux User Repository

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

Hey, so Peter0x44 has the wrong idea of just disabling the part that was failing due to the missing submodule. I have attached a patch file adding all missing submodules from this PKGBUILD, except for SDL and libusb.

Since https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/11669/ building this package did not work, due to missing an "rcheevos" submodule, with error:

I personally resolved that with this patch since I don't care about those achievements anyways, I suspect many people probably think the same too

Whether it's worth keeping these achievements in a regular build is not really up to me, I guess, but this fix is the easiest for now.

Build fails with mgba-git installed version of libmgba. Reported to dolphin-emu upstream.

Upstream says it's a package manager issue, will not fix unless someone submits a PR against dolphin-emu.

Best I could do was identify the problem. There are a few ways to work around it but the simplest would probably be -DUSE_MGBA=OFF:

build() {
    cd "$srcdir/$_sourcedirectory/"
    cmake -S '.' -B 'build/' -G Ninja \
        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=None \

@krakenwave: Looks to me like some sort of a network issue, the repo cloned with no issues on my machine.

Whenever I run makepkg, right after "Resolving deltas" reaches 100%, I'm met with:

fatal: did not receive expected object 335f54ae35caa4341b67240272011e38fc441b06

Is this something weird on my end?

@hawaka: The patch enables the build process to use the system minizip instead of the vendored one, so the patch is technically not required, but as system libs should be used when possible, it is included. It looks like your build failure was caused by the patch package not being installed. It is included in the base-devel package, which packages assume to be installed when using the AUR (see the Arch Wiki for more details).

The build currently exits with "command not found" on line 48 of the PKGBUILD:

patch --forward -p1 < "$srcdir/minizip-ng.diff"

The comment above it reads "# Fix minizip-ng name for Arch".

EDIT: After removing said line it builds correctly. Guess the patch is not needed anymore.

@jasterlaf the package just needs to be rebuild with the newer ffmpeg version. so first you have to uninstall it, then update ffmpeg, then rebuild dolphin-emu-git.

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing ffmpeg (2:6.0-3) breaks dependency 'libavcodec.so=59-64' required by dolphin-emu-git
:: installing ffmpeg (2:6.0-3) breaks dependency 'libavformat.so=59-64' required by dolphin-emu-git
:: installing ffmpeg (2:6.0-3) breaks dependency 'libavutil.so=57-64' required by dolphin-emu-git
:: installing ffmpeg (2:6.0-3) breaks dependency 'libswscale.so=6-64' required by dolphin-emu-git

The errors in flag comment are related to newer versions now requiring libavcodec major version 60, libavformat major version 60, libavfilter major version 9, libavutil major version 58 and libswscale version in ffmpeg 6.0, which is now (only) in testing repository. libavfilter is mentioned in error message, but isn't included in dependicies and other libraries need a version bump in dependicies, because mgba library now requires newer versions.
