This does not work anymore because the Munt version in the AUR spits out an error when compiling, causing dosbox-staging to fail to build as well.

This build also introduces this bug. The bug is not found in the official precompiled binaries, which meant the developers flagged this problem as "not a bug" on their end.

@harmathy the tarball(if it is this one "dosbox-staging-linux-v0.81.0.tar.xz") is a binary release not a source release, this package is to build it from source. if you want a binary release use the package dosbox-staging-bin

@silverhikari ah, sorry. I somehow missed that.

Another possibility is to use the git repository and the release tag.

source=("git+https://github.com/dosbox-staging/${pkgname}#tag=v${pkgver}")
sha256sums=('SKIP')

A lot of other AUR packages use this pattern.

just test the checksum again and it seems to be working, you may need to delete the src/ folder and the v0.81.0.tar.gz

This PKGBUILD uses the github generated tarball which may change checksum anytime. Use the tarball provided by upstream!

source=("https://github.com/dosbox-staging/${pkgname}/releases/download/v${pkgver}/${pkgname}-linux-v${pkgver}.tar.xz")
sha256sums=('034b08a941a7fd0279a81b10af620999c569f7e81b786e7f4b59a0b94e46d399')

This build is still broken because of the sha256sum

Currently doesn't build because the SHA256 checksum for the v0.81.0 release tarball doesn't match.

Annoyingly, build hates -Os now.

meson.build:155:8: ERROR: Problem encountered: 

 Overriding CXXFLAGS with the size-optimization flag, "-Os", when
 performing a release build with GCC produces a binary that hangs.
 Use the "minsize" buildtype instead.

Doesn't even mention which version of gcc, or which target. And fails the build. Sigh.

"zlib-ng" has to be added to depends. Archlinux: confirming it builds.
