Arch Linux User Repository

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

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

Just the number of commits is a good idea since upstream does not seem to care about consistent tag names. So just openmw-git r4538.ga41cbfb349-1 for example, with an epoch if there might be problems with vercmp.

openmw devs only use tags in release branches and never in the development branch. llvm and mesa also work like this.

I am aware of 3 methods that are in use :

• manually add the version as a static value in pkgver() , like my openscenegraph-openmw-git package.

• get the version info from a file provided in the upstream sources. my llvm-minimal-git and mesa-minimal-git packages do this.

• don't bother with versions, just use the number of commits since start of project

(add the commit hash in all cases)

Using tags meant for release branches is in my opinion wrong for packages building development trees, but this is bwrsandmans package and I'll follow whatever they decide.

Not going to be basing the version here based on the CMake config. That's hyper specific and much more likely to fail than basing off of the tags.

I've said this before, the ideal thing to do is for upstream to be consistent with their tagging but even with that, it's making a mountain out of a mole hill.

@Lone_Wolf: thanks, i go the right way now: it works.

@Le_Limule : you went the wrong way, now repo packages build against boost 1.80 will fail. A better solution would be to rebuild openmw-git against the new boost version.

@txtsd: LGTM , but I haven't had time to check it thoroughly . I would also prefer it if bwrsandman made such decisions.

For now users can manually edit the PKGBUILD with the first (simpler) patch provided by txtsd.

Since a system upgrade i get: openmw-launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_program_options.so.1.79.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I remove the boost package. Then i downgrade the boost-libs package from 1.80 to 1.79. It's ok now.

Alright I got it done. It is commented so it shouldn't be difficult to follow. Here's a patch, and if you add me as a co-maintainer, I can push it myself. I maintain several packages on the AUR.

2.40.0

That results in a 0.48something pkgver ?

The main CMakeLists.txt has the correct version (currently 0.49 ) in these 3 lines

set(OPENMW_VERSION_MAJOR 0)
set(OPENMW_VERSION_MINOR 49)
set(OPENMW_VERSION_RELEASE 0)

If someone can figure out how to use that for pkgver() it would be great.

Here's a patch to make it work.
