@manolollr Hi! I'm pioneer's project lead, and I'd be happy to take over as maintainer if need be.

I have found in recent changes around fmt library, in the contrib/fmt/CMakeLists.txt file, following change: option(FMT_INSTALL "Generate the install target." ${MASTER_PROJECT}) into option(FMT_INSTALL "Generate the install target." ON) Just testing modified PKBUILD with setting this OFF.

Edit: It works for me.

I'm going to disown this package. Now I have different priorities in my life and I haven't time to maintain it adequately.

The game is alive, with constant an interesting updates. Anybody who wishes to maintain this package is welcome.

Thank you.

It seems the game now uses its own FMT library, and conflicts if you have already the package FMT installed.

I've tried to compile the game with the option -D FMT_SYSTEM_HEADERS:BOOL=ON but it doesn't work.

Unfortunately I don't know how to compile the game to avoid conflict with this package. Sorry.

Can you try to uninstall 'fmt' package? Is it needed by any software you have installed?

Build ok but on install getting conflicting files error:

Ok, now PKGBUILD is updated.

Thanks for testing, it's working again! It's adapted to new data directory.

The -D PIONEER_DATA_DIR:PATH=/usr/share/pioneer/data/ line is not needed for a fresh install but it's needed if the game is already installed, so at line 29 it's not included but it's included at line 43 and 44.

After installation I get a crash on startup, with error messagebox about missing shader.

The game seems to look for its files with wrong path:

/usr/share/pioneer/<path suffix> instead of /usr/share/pioneer/data/<path suffix>

I raised [an issue at github] (https://github.com/pioneerspacesim/pioneer/issues/5667) but they have concluded it's a PKBUILD issue:

The PKGBUILD script should be updated to either pass -DPIONEER_DATA_DIR:PATH=/usr/share/pioneer/data or omit the PIONEER_DATA_DIR argument entirely (it will be set from the CMake installation prefix anyways).

Edit: I edited PKBUILD with the second way (link), but the error have persisted.

Edit 2: I edited it again, this time with the first suggestion (link). This time game works correctly.

Thank You!!! It works perfect. It's much better way.

Instead of asking users to edit their /etc/makepkg.conf, can you add this line to the start of the build function?

CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS/-Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS/}"

I'm not an expert in compiling. I've adopted the package because it was orphan for a long time and noboy haven't adopted it. There are workarounds not very elegant, but at least they work. We need collaboration of upstream game developers to fix this bugs, but it's difficult to me to write in English. Can someone help? If someone have more experience in compiling, I will disown this package and let him/her. Thanks!
