Maybe using a sane default, that won't froze most systems.

Like make --jobs=$(("$(nproc)" / 4).

@es20490446e thanks! I've updated the package() function to use the new Makefile installer and removed the launch script/manual install.

As for the RAM usage when compiling, I don't think there's anything the project can really do about that. Users will need to tune the number of cores based on their system.

Probably this shall be:

package() {
    cd "$srcdir/$_pkgname"
    install -dm755 "$pkgdir/usr"
    make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/usr" install
}

I had a similar problem with gtk4-git and instead I've increased the swap on disk to not touch the makejobs number

es20490446e commented on 2025-12-02 23:04 (UTC)

If I build this project having in "/etc/makepkg.conf" the variable MAKEFLAGS="--jobs=$(nproc)" my 16GiB of RAM will deplete, and the whole system will freeze.

If I only use half the cores (make --jobs=$(("$(nproc)" / 2)), it will fill 10GiB of RAM.

Hi @algebro, I went ahead and made a patch based on PR #1973. You need to remove the tail-end of that patch (the third-party/fmt part). Here's the PKGBUILD diff:

Thanks for investigating this @rubin55. For Arch packages it's generally preferred to link against system packages when possible, so using the submodule was a mistake. I've updated the package to use the system fmt and I'll take a stab at fixing the issue upstream since it is technically a bug there and doesn't look too complicated.

rubin55 commented on 2025-10-08 16:50 (UTC)

I noticed that even though this package pulls an fmt as a git module, it actually links against system libfmt; this must be an error in how the build is done? it is especially problematic now Arch is on fmt 12, which removed fmt::localtime, which pcsx-redux makes use of. I filed https://github.com/grumpycoders/pcsx-redux/issues/1969 upstream.

If this package would actually use the fmt submodule, the fact that arch upgraded to fmt 12 would not matter; is the linking against system fmt intentional?

algebro commented on 2025-08-18 13:39 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestions @HurricanePootis. How did you get the depends() packages from namcap? I tried running it and I'm not getting it to display anything (other than a missing contributor tag with --info)
