Thanks for the heads up, gioan777. I've fixed openxcom-git, openxcom-extended, and openxcom-extended-git. Ironically the openxcom package is unaffected because the last 'stable' release of openxcom predates the project's use of cmake.
There's a ./configure error with this package caused by CMake

Thanks for the heads up, @dither8. Fixed.
Looks like upstream commit (f8d860d7727ec6c7f8eed2d9e4cf9f83725d17a0) fixes documentation location issue.
Line 51: mv "${pkgdir}/usr/man" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/man" Now causes build to fail.
Great! :) I'll leave my comment if something is wrong. R.
Thanks for the consideration, gonciarz! I've uploaded openxcom-extended and openxcom-extended-git to the AUR. Please check them out and let me know if there are any problems.
Hi WorMzy,
Recently I've found an interesting fork OpenXcome called OXCE. https://github.com/MeridianOXC/OpenXcom/tree/oxce-plus
Mod info: https://openxcom.mod.io/openxcom-extended
OG (original game) vs OXC (OpenXcom) vs OXCE (OpenXcom Extended): https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5251.0.html
I believe it would be great if a new package could be created e.g. openxcom-oxce or something similar. You already are an author of openxcom and openxcom-git ArchLinux packages thus from my point of view you would be the best candidate to become an author of oxce.
Compilation process is exactly the same as for openxcom-git.
