Because so many issues have developed of late due to the age of the original 1.1.2 release which is now triggering deprecations in associated code (boost, QT amongst others) it is becoming increasingly difficult for PokerTH to age gracefully.

The recommended solution by the PokerTH team is to use a jailed version of the original source code and locked versions of dependencies such as boost & QT: such as that made available for flatpak.

If you prefer to use flatpak (rather than limping along with this AUR release):

1 install flatpak with pacman or whatever

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/flatpak/

2 then head over to https://flathub.org/apps/net.pokerth.PokerTH

to find out how to deploy and run a "stable" version of pokerth

@viktoacoric thanks; patch incorporated in release 28

Hey mate, here's a patch you can add, it solves annoying lack of XDG Base Dir specification. If somebody doesn't have it defined, everything stays the same, people who do have it defined will finally be able to "mv ~/.pokerth $XDG_CONFIG_HOME" :)

Thank you for your fast update, i rebuilt pokerth 1.1.2-26 with protobuf 23.3-1, and it works fine again.

Bumped to release 26 Includes patch to explicitly include a few libraries

After the latest protobuf update to version 23.3-1 pokerth won't start anymore:

pokerth: error while loading shared libraries: libprotobuf.so.32: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And a rebuild (as suggested by checkrebuild) failed too:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libprotobuf.so: undefined reference to symbol '_ZN4absl12lts_2023012512log_internal17MakeCheckOpStringIllEEPNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEET_T0_PKc'

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libabsl_log_internal_check_op.so.2301.0.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line

Only workaround by now is to keep protobuf at version 21.12-2.

Bumped to rel 24 for revised boost libs

Bumped to 23 for updated boost libs

Bumped to 22 for dependency chain update

Expect another soon as an update for boost is pending

Bumped to 21 for new version of boost lib

Bumped to 20 to trigger rebuild
