@aliu if you try to download the exe file directly in the sources array the download site returns you an HTML page not the actual executable so we need to do this workaround

all: I have updated this package to use the 64bit executable on 64bit systems now that the upstream 7zip package is able to extract it. If you have problems please report them and I'll rollback to the 32bit executable even on 64bit systems until we can find a fix

You may need to manually create ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/ if it does not exists.

If you can trust me, a user who has access to the server hosting the download:

Hello, I'm getting the following error when trying to make the package:

Where can I find the sha256sum for the latest version?

Doesn't work because this package assumes/requires v1.5.4 but in fact it does download v1.5.5 which somehow doesn't fit the directory structure and therefore breaks.

It's a pity because not only is that a great music program but also it installs WINE as a dependency in a way that allowed me to run Ableton Live 10 out of the box.

Sure, I get the reasons for it.

I just would've liked it to be optional, as you suggested (I think it was a good suggestion!). Or at least been a bit of a smoother transition.

This's borked my installation, and I've had to manually create the prefix to get it working, as well as go by someone else's chosen directory structure. Pretty annoying. This's the only thing I regularly use wine for, so--

Using unique prefixes per application is already good advice and frequently recommended by many wine using packages and launchers. Using a single default prefix for everything you install is a great way to find yourself frequently reinstalling everything.

rjt commented on 2020-05-30 02:40 (UTC)

I don't think hardcoding a path for the wine prefix is a good idea. Nor do I think forcing the use of a unique prefix is a good idea (it was suggested as optional).

Checksum for foobar2000_v1.5.4.exe:

SHA256: 838adc84c9d36312f82e333c8876ce9b653436f33912a00f879e52f99a1c8654

A small change in foobar2000.sh does the trick to let foobar have it's own prefix: https://gitlab.com/unduthegun/foobar2000/-/tree/91ad678c84e0a579bdf5f7725e112b3863df2c38
