Arch Linux User Repository

I have upgraded to electron 32 and made additional small patches to allow successfully building. The package currently yields (at last) a fully functional distribution of GDevelop.

corrected several issues: * electron22 don't exists anymore set to electron27, but (not really in fact) work the same way with electron34. * chmod 655 (not 644) of /usr/bin/gdevelop script, so the icon appear in menu in development, and it can be launched. The program now start open a window and say it can't load resources, without more informations.

I started it with gdb to try to have more informations, and it claims this:

(node:72176) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Extension directory not found: /usr/share/gdevelop/app.asar/extensions/ReactDeveloperTools/4.24.3_0/
(Use `electron --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

Currently /usr/share/gdevelop/app.asar is the name of the electron executed file. so extensions can't be there in a filesystem point of view.

Need more clues.

The build of emscripten part need nodejs-shelljs (AUR package), but this node module is no more maintained since 2 years and AUR since 2018 and conflict on several files with nodejs-pkg (still maintained node js module). Adopted just for upgrade and mark conflict, and disowned it. I don't know enough nodejs. Hope it will help a bit. After installing an upgraded version of nodejs-shelljs (0.8.5) still the same error with

npm start

in

src/GDevelop-5.3.194/newIDE/app

as recommanded in the documentation: https://github.com/4ian/GDevelop/tree/master/newIDE

Is it my current version (not finished) it reuse the .desktop of Paulequilibrio, but try to use a more standard /usr path, compile libs, and use as icon png already existing in docs, instead of copying it from another repository.

There is no documentation for compilation on github site, only methods to install binaries appimage, Don't want to work on this. I managed to have the two libGDJS.so and libGDCore.so libraries, to create .xgde on last version, but don't find any executable file... This is probably why for it's not shipped with any other distributions. I can still give the updated version, as anyway the old one has wrong sha256sum, several errors in dir names and compilation fail anyway

Hello, I am arthuro555, one of GDevelop's main contributors. I'd like to help maintain & update this package, could I be added as a co-maintainer? Thanks!!

looks like JoseluCross already got it sadly, I didn't have time to push my modifications.

Hi Popolon I don't use this anymore since a year or more.. Package orphaned Thanks
