Some issues with this, there's very little if any preconfig...

There's no 'moltengamepad.cfg' There's nothing in the genpad dir

And I can't figure out where the 'installation' dir is.

Adding onto the comment bellow me move make CC=gcc-12 CPP=g++-12 CXX=g++-12 LD=g++-12 eventlists to prepare() { section. Otherwise the Eventlist will not be in the source code which is required for this program to compile.

If you run into issues building this install gcc12, and add "CC=gcc-12 CPP=g++-12 CXX=g++-12 LD=g++-12" to lines 29 and 30 after the word "make"

I get the same segfault when running moltengamepad immediately after installing. The change xordspar0 put in the PKGBUILD and the patch to the postinstall script don't fix it.

Subject: [PATCH] Correctly create the gamepad user

The post install script fails to create the gamepad user. This patch
fixes that.

When I run moltengamepad on the command line after installing this, I get a segfault right away. However, when I add options=(debug !strip) to the PKGBUILD, the segfault goes away.
