Dosbox doesn't run:

'dosbox: error while loading shared libraries: libiir.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'

Workaround:

Manually copy libiir.so, libiir.so.1 and libiir.so.1.9.3 to /usr/lib (NOT /usr/local/lib).

This should be fixed as of the most recent PKGBUILD change. Thanks for the report.

Package compiles, however doesn't run. It is probably related to this commit:

https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/commit/1ae448a58ef03bf9d5b69a3a9017df07ac6029f6

Manually copying all folders from this https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/tree/main/contrib/resources to ~/.config/dosbox fixes it.

EDIT: you are the fastest package fixer. Thanks!

This should be fixed with the latest commit to the PKGBUILD.

Previously the meson build would not find a system installed version of munt/libmt32, and would compile and link a static version. Now this seems to work, and link a dynamic version of libmt32 which, without munt being in the dependency list, it was failing to run.

It compiles, but doesn't run dosbox: error while loading shared libraries: libmt32emu.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The VCS package guidelines suggest that the pkgver variable still be set to the most recent version, as according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines#The_pkgver()_function

machinedgod commented on 2021-09-02 14:02 (UTC)

Suggestion: since PKGBUILD has pkgver()function, perhaps setting the variable to 0 or something would be a good idea, to suggest pkgver is generated on the fly.

They've fully made the switch to meson in the master branch. I'm including a working PKGBUILD.

Hey do you mind removing the 'v' from pkgver?
