openmw-git has been found to require a sizable amount of temporary space during building.

The available amount depends on system specifics so is different for all systems. In case build fails with "no space left on device" you may be bitten by this.

See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=277304 for details and possible solutions.

Please refrain from flagging the git version as out date when a new release comes out. The git aur packages update their version on install time based on the tags of the git repo.

Keep in mind that this is a VCS package and it is meant to be in line with the latest master which might not always work. It is not meant to follow the release pattern in any particularly smart way and assumes that upstream maintains their tags consistently.

For the newest release, the correct page is https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=openmw

AARCH64 added, also adjusted pkgver() so the package builds again and some minor changes.

This works for aarch64 added to the arch with no additional changes.

@Lone_Wolf: Thank you! It was an explanation i was looking for. If i understand, you recommend me this commit: b04bcb9a9b7863759777b7abe7d6eb207edb6251 I will test that when i come back to home in a few days.

Le_Limule, It's not hard to adjust the PKGBUILD to build from a specific commit instead of the last one( I've done it many times to bisect a bug) .

https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw/-/commit/b04bcb9a9b7863759777b7abe7d6eb207edb6251

Get the last part of the url (it starts with b04b ) and copy it somewhere . That part is referred to as "commit sha" .

Edit source=('git+https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw.git') line using the commit sha so it becomes 

source=('git+https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw.git#commit=b04bcb9a9b7863759777b7abe7d6eb207edb6251')

Every time you run makepkg on the edited pkgbuild it will build from the source as it was at that exact commit .

Argh! As i feared, there is a regression: now the Protective Guard mod doesn't work any more. Same thing on my Debian computer. The issue is described here:

Thanks. I rebuild with a fresh $scrdir. It works. I imagine i have now a new version of the sources. I wanted to keep working with the "old" sources i had. It doesn't matter. I hope there is no regression. Thanks again.

Le_Limule, archlinux has had icu 72.2-2 in repos since nov 2022 and I have been running openmw-git against that icu version since then .

  • downgrade : no
  • symlink icu 71 libs to icu 72 : NO, very bad idea which will cause hard-to-troubleshoot breakage.

run a full pacman -Syu, then try again.

make sure to add --cleanbuild to the makepkg command so you'll start with a fresh $srcdir .

Le_Limule, I updated my system today (Manjaro so maybe its two week delayed) my icu is 72.1-2. linicuuc.so part of li32-icu is 72.1-2 as well. my current openmw-git install runs fine I will try updating it now too.

update: update went well and game runs fine.

I upgrade my system. Now i get "openmw: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.71: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" when openmw is launched. libicuuc, part of icu, is version 72 since my system update.

I rebuild openmw-git: same error. Then i rebuild openscenegraph-openmw-git, recastnavigation-openmw, and openmw-git: now the openmw-git rebuild fail at this stage: [ 66%] Linking CXX executable ../../openmw (undefined references with icu_72 and icu_71...)

Must i

  • downgrade icu 72 -> 71 ?

  • do some "icu 71" links to "icu 72" ?

  • other?...

Can .47 be removed or changed to .49? I know its just the name, but it is wrong.
