The latest release comes with a bash completion script. This should be added to the bottom of the PKGBUILD to include it:

install -Dm 644 "contrib/linux/bash-completion/dosbox" "$pkgdir/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/dosbox"

@DosAmp i have moved munt to depends and remove the static option, that should fix your issue

DosAmp commented on 2021-12-18 11:05 (UTC)

The optional dependency on munt still doesn't work for me. As it stands, the build still downloads munt-libmt32emu if the munt package is not available, but only builds the dynamic library libmt32emu.so under build/subprojects/ (without even packaging it), not a static library that gets linked into the dosbox executable.

@rustemb libpng is now a dependency

rustemb commented on 2021-09-11 20:54 (UTC)

Add, please, libpng as required dep https://builds.garudalinux.org/repos/chaotic-aur/logs/dosbox-staging.log

That works.

@ParaSait i have added static to the build see how it works out now

Hmm, I thought it would be fine, but it's looking for libmt32emu.so when trying to run it. If you compile with mt32 support enabled, meson will automatically fetch and build that as a subproject to be built. But installing it from that is probably not a good idea as it would then introduce a conflict with the munt package.

Going by the dosbox-staging readme, if you add "-Ddefault_library=static" to the meson setup, mt32emu (as well as fluidsynth) will be statically linked, and then it works without the munt package. Either that, or you just re-instate munt as a mandatory dependency. (I'm not sure which of the two options would be best practice for an AUR package, tbh...)

EDIT: I did a little bit of homework on this, and I found that on arch linux, the meson package contains a "highly opinionated" wrapper for use in arch linux packaging, called arch-meson. arch-meson invokes the meson setup with "--wrap-mode nodownload". From this, I gather that it's most likely discouraged to rely on meson automatically fetching those subprojects. Therefore, probably munt should be an explicitly listed mandatory dependency in the PKGBUILD.

@ParaSait there you go

ParaSait commented on 2021-07-07 16:03 (UTC)

Could the new dependency on munt be made optional?
