@guglovich I've changed the pkgbuild to use vala0.54

0.16.2 is a -dev release https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub/releases/tag/0.16.2-1-dev

Unflagging since 0.16.2 is a -dev release, gamehub-git exist

If you encounter the crash due to humble trove do

gsettings set com.github.tkashkin.gamehub.auth.humble load-trove-games false

Due to a bug in Vala v0.54.5 (but already fixed for the next release), the package fails to build, use either vala0.52 or vala-git to build this package.

Tested also ok with vala0.48 (v0.48.12) but seems that it has been deleted from the AUR, builds with v0.48.20 reported failing

This package is asking for sudo privileges when I didn't pass the 'install' flag to makepkg

Which is the complete command you used? Likely you needed to install one of the packages needed by this pkgbuild.

It would be nice to be able to build the package without installing it.

This is how it works by default

I'm thinking that is due to DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" ninja -C build install

No, this pkgbuild is fine and the build() function is fine

I'd like to suggest adding butler or itch as an optional dependency for itch.io support.

I am personally using butler and everything works as expected.

Ah, i got Package egl was not found in the pkg-config search path. Package 'egl', required by 'epoxy', not found running that. That file is part of mesa, and I have a custom mesa installed, I guess that's missing, see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mesa-aco-git/#comment-701624

Hmmm...

@djazz pkg-config --cflags --libs gdk-3.0 should either return cflags or show what's wrong. It should look similar to

@Snuggle I'm thinking about this. See https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub/issues/156

The main problem of me maintaining an AUR package(s) is that I have not used Arch for a few years and I don't know too much about AUR, pacman, etc.

@tkashkin Perhaps you'd be better suited to maintain this package?

@twisty

You should not do

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/com.github.tkashkin.gamehub /usr/bin/gamehub

in package(). package() is meant to prepare package contents in $pkgdir, $pkgdir will be / when package is installed. If you want to have symlink, you should probably do

ln -s com.github.tkashkin.gamehub $pkgdir/usr/bin/gamehub

@tkashkin

Thanks for that, works much better now (just tested on a fresh Arch install to be sure).

I have tested it in VM and locales did not work. It should be like this (I did a mistake in DESTDIR before):

meson build --prefix=/usr -Ddistro=arch
DESTDIR=$pkgdir ninja install

Also you should not remove post_install script, it does nothing if DESTDIR is set and resulting package contains no caches. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Creating_packages#build.28.29

Indeed it can be updated with $pkgver. Added this with the new update. Loving how quickly you are adding new features to GameHub!

Along with the new release, the URL can use the same pkgver

source=("GameHub-$pkgver.tar.gz"::https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub/archive/0.5.7.tar.gz)

to

source=("GameHub-$pkgver.tar.gz"::https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub/archive/$pkgver.tar.gz)

Updated the build to account for the extra files during post_install.py. Should build fine now, please let me know if there are any more problems.

Unfortunately using DESTDIR=$pkgdir/usr with ninja install results in the eventual package wanting to install everything under /usr/home/twisty/.. which is not what we want. Doing this however does prevent the extra files being generated in the package which is an interesting bug.

Editing the post_install.py to remove it's functionality also generates the correct package without the extra files.

ninja install should be called with DESTDIR env variable. https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub/blob/master/meson/post_install.py

I think it should be like this:

meson build --prefix=/usr -Ddistro=arch
...
DESTDIR=$pkgdir/usr ninja install

Why is this trying to overwrite files that should be generated anyways?
