@HurricanePootis: By the way, I added dusk a day before you added this, so technically it's a duplicate package. However, since upstream renamed the project to dusklight, I've submitted a deletion request for dusk.

EDIT: Ah, it appears my dusk package was a duplicate as it already existed as tp-dusk previously.

@HurricanePootis: Ah, my mistake. Turns out it automatically finds the system sdl3 and detects the shared lib.

@yochananmarqos

SDL3 does not build for me, nor in a clean chroot with extra-x86-64-build -c. Plus, using namcap, sdl3 is listed as a depends(). Furthermore, I can see its linked to ${srcdir}/build/dusklight with:

hurricane@TheCloutBook ~/aur/dusklight/src/build $ ldd dusklight | grep SDL
        libSDL3.so.0 => /usr/lib/libSDL3.so.0 (0x00007f349c200000)

Can you show me the output of namcap on your system, alongside ldd src/build/dusklight | grep SDL.

yochananmarqos commented on 2026-05-13 15:41 (UTC)

@HurricanePootis: Please add the following Cmake flags to detect the system sdl3, otherwise it builds it:

-DAURORA_SDL3_PROVIDER='system'
-DAURORA_SDL3_LINKAGE='shared'

@R0dn3yS I am so sorry that my launcher script did not work! I want to apologize profusely for sending a subpar patch to you.

I still want to give another shot at putting the binary in /usr/lib, and I think I figured out how. Instead of having a wrapper script at all, if /usr/share/tp-dusk/res is soft link to /usr/lib/tp-dusk/res, then whenever /usr/lib/tp-dusk/dusk is executed, it will work regardless of where you are executing from.

Thus, no more script is needed at all. Make sure to do the system links carefully, as we are linking from where they will be into the pkgdir, so whenever the package is installed they will be pointing to the correction final location.

@R0dn3yS yes that has fixed it for me.

R0dn3yS commented on 2026-05-11 16:43 (UTC)

I reverted to the old launch script and it should work now.

fruitigearist commented on 2026-05-11 16:31 (UTC) (edited on 2026-05-11 16:32 (UTC) by fruitigearist)

@R0dn3yS 1.0.1-6 icon is fixed yes but menu still missing. Running from terminal still gives same repeating output as my first comment. To be clear, it's not a black screen. The actual intro scene renders, the audio plays, and you can hear the click sound for scrolling through the menu, but the menu itself is invisible or missing.

1.0.1-1 is the last version that works properly for me.

R0dn3yS commented on 2026-05-11 16:22 (UTC)

The icon should be fixed now, as for the black screen it's probably because the program can't find the res folder which is weird as it works on my system.
