Total fail for me at least

Issues with the package sadly. After installing the main menu does not open at all, but starts the game instantly and not displaying anything. While the game seemingly runs, there is nothing to be seen. Recommend updating the package.

It worked for me on the first attempt. I'm on wayland/hyprland. I just ran MAKEPKG and pacman -U and started with eduke32 and runs without any problems :D. Great work everyone who worked on this project!

@browniesrgut Are you seeing a crash on launch?

I filed https://voidpoint.io/terminx/eduke32/-/issues/320 for this; looks like SDL pulls in libdecor, which pulls in GTK3, which pulls in GTK2, which is incompatible with GTK3, so the process crashes. Filed https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libdecor/libdecor/-/issues/78 with libdecor.

For now, a workaround is to run:

$ SDL_VIDEO_WAYLAND_ALLOW_LIBDECOR=0 eduke32

EDIT: The above still appears to work only flakily for me; eduke32 can hang with no video. Just switching it back to X11 locally seems more reliable:

$ SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 eduke32

Hello, eduke32 doesn't like wayland very much (runs without any issue in Xorg) :(

Coucou Fred, eduke32 n'aime pas wayland et préfère xorg, je ne sais pas si on peut faire quelque chose.

@yamashiro: options added to PKGBUILD. Thanks for the info.

@FredBezies using the !debug flag will fix the compile error. Though because setting it is required for the package to build I would suggest adding OPTIONS+=(!debug) to the PKGBUILD since it's a one-off override and doesn't require the users to edit the default flags just for one package.

@stas-t: yes, it is related to debug option enabled by default. You need to replace debug by !debug in /etc/makepkg.conf in line OPTIONS from GLOBAL PACKAGE OPTIONS section (bottom of the file).

Version 20240217.r10554_8afa42e38 build fails for me:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find obj/duke3d/common.o.debug.temp.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find obj/duke3d/grpscan.o.debug.temp.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find obj/build/lz4.o.debug.temp.o: No such file or directory
....

I've checked: no *.o.debug.temp.o files are available during the build, only *.o files. Does it have something to do with debug enabled?

in PKGBUILD replace

8baf8290760a66a5383ca31f42d2cfa169a5a625e148b39c9cbb4766bbfffdfd

with
