Arch Linux User Repository

It's working perfectly! :D No errors when trying to compile games.

I succeeded installation with appimagetool-git and not with bin.

For anyone having problems like "Option parsing failed: Unknown option --appimage-extract-and-run" , it seems like the new versions of appimagetool do no have this option anymore, i created something that i hope it's useful for ya'll

It downloads the obsolete version of appimagetool (the one used in the official GameMaker guide).

I'm not creating a repository out of this because it is not really a "package", to remove it you need to do: sudo rm /usr/local/bin/appimagetool.

https://github.com/Hecori/obsolete-appimagetool-gms2/raw/refs/heads/main/PKGBUILD

If anyone has the knowledge to turn this into a package, it would be nice.

"Option parsing failed: Unknown option --appimage-extract-and-run" when trying to run a game. I choose appimagetool-git because the -bin one was not working, but this one also does not appears to be working?

Edit1: Tried installing the appimagetool manually following the game maker guide but it did not work??

"Something went wrong trying to read the squashfs image.

Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup. You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage if you run it with the --appimage-extract option. See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE for more information open dir error: No such file or directory"

Also yes, i followed the same steps on Debian and on Arch using the "install" command on the .AppImage that the Guide on Game Maker offers.

Edit2: I made it work somehow but it is a very bad fix. I had the appimagetool installed on my debian partition using the official game maker guide, i replaced my current "/usr/local/bin/appimagetool" with the one from the other system and ran:

$ appimagetool --appimage-extract-and-run appimagetool, continuous build (commit 5735cc5), build <local dev build> built on 2023-03-08 22:52:04 UTC SOURCE is missing

it seems like everything is working, its a weird fix i but i really need to use GMS2 so i did not had other choice.

The only way for me to run it is by installing the binary from debian, now everywthing works

Edit 3: After messing around i found a way that is actually simple, just install eveything and choose the appimagetool-git at the start, then go to https://gamemaker.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/235186168-Setting-Up-For-Ubuntu and install appimagetool from there to replace the "git" one, it seems to be working for me now.

Latest version of appimagetool-git breaks the Igor compiling executable creation script (throws a 'sqfs_traverse_open error'), with the last release of the appimagetool-bin dependency it was working, but sadly the git URL's has recently been changed (they renamed all releases to 'obsolete') so the dependency is broken by now, it'd be good if we could change it.

not really much i can do about that unfortunately :/ would be nice if the bin one at the very least got orphaned so someone else could take it over to fix it which at that point i could just remove the git one from the dependencies, only thing i can really recommend is manually editing the PKGBUILD of appimagetool-bin to correct it

Thanks for the package I love it, but I would like to know if there's a way to get the gamemaker Version 2024.8.1.171

1. For those who have steam:

1. git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/gamemaker-beta-bin.git && cd gamemaker-beta-bin
2. nano PKGBUILD

2. Delete on # Dependencies --> (only steamruntime deletion doesn't work for me)

1. 'linuxdeploy'
2. 'appimagetool'
3. 'gamemaker-steamruntime-sdk-bin'

3.

1. makepkg -si

Please depend on appimagetool rather than appimagetool-bin.

I don't think I've ever seen something get updated that swiftly, well done heh
