This package now enables Cmake Package mode proper. PCSX2 will here on, be installed in the package standard folders /usr/bin, /usr/share, /usr/lib. Following the XDG standard pcsx2's config files remain in .config/PCSX2

In order to ensure a proper and clean upgrade. Uninstall this package COMPLETELY and clear cache before reinstalling.

@Star-X I bet that's the rapid-yaml package going ary

Dammit, it stopped working AGAIN. Here's where it failed.

Yes, I did clear the cache this time. Still didn't work.

well, what explains the size of the binary being installed? I have not changed the options at all and i am getting huge binaries.

yoshi@archlinux:~ $ file /usr/bin/pcsx2

/usr/bin/pcsx2: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),

dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2,

BuildID[sha1]=522b219954351e352edc90e6b8851b8087628a94,

yoshi@archlinux:~ $ ls -hl /usr/bin/pcsx2

This is for 1.7.2449-1

Stripped of what? There are no debug symbols in the program. The release build + AUR environment remove all of that unless I specifically add OPTIONS+=(debug !strip) and set it to release with debug or even lower level. Devel

the resulting binary is not being stripped, which makes the package unusually big.

Not until it's declared to be in a usable state. Till then, this will be WX. @cmdrkotori

Will this be building the new/WIP Qt frontend? It builds when QT_BUILD is set in the cmakefile.

I switched it over to the stable rapidyaml

Yeah I had rapidyaml-git installed. The build broke at some point and I tried giving it a few days and then I tried rebuilding it (rapidyaml-git). Then I got a hunch or something and somehow figured out about the rapidyaml package and I tried using that instead and it worked.

I don't really know enough about how the build system works to understand why you'd have linker errors like that but not a build error in the first place, so not sure how to approach finding the actual cause of the error.

Well after comparing the files between the two packages, I notice that rapidyaml has shared libs enabled and rapidyaml-git doesn't, so that might have something to do with it.

I was getting a error with rapidyaml-git if you build it with lto.

Disabling lto fixed the problem for me.
