Notes about this package

  • If you encounter issues while using this package, please contact me here first before reporting an issue to the upstream repository. Don't post logs, link to them. If you are using Manjaro, another derivative or an AUR helper, please mention it, I DO NOT TEST AGAINST THEM AND I CANNOT KNOW WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG WITH THE DISTRO/HELPER OF YOUR CHOICE.

  • It takes a LOT of time and space to build. Building with multiple jobs helps but might cause builds to fail in rare cases. Be sure to have at least 16GB of RAM if you are building on tmpfs

  • It is NOT built against Steam Linux Runtime (Sniper, Soldier, etc) and as such it doesn't require it. Still, is detected by Steam and works properly (preferable through steam-native).

  • This PKGBUILD uses CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS hardcoded in the PKGBUILD itself. By default it uses the same C[XX]FLAGS as upstream, namely -march=nocona and -mtune=core-avx2. To change them you will have to edit the PKGBUILD itself. Due to the nature of this package some flags can cause it to fail to build or not function properly. I try to filter them out but it is based on testing. If you have a feeling that compile-time options are involved in the issues you are having please include them in your comment. Currently the filtered options are -fstack-protector-{,-strong,-all}(dxvk and vkd3d only), -fno-plt, -z,relro, -z,now. Also the use of AVX instructions is disabled through -mno-avx.

  • There have been reports with afdko failing to find its dependencies during building. I can't do anything about that as I don't maintain that package. It is NOT an issue with this package and I haven't found a way to not depend on it. Please don't report fails due to afdko (or any of its python- dependencies, they are pulled in due to afdko and only used by that), it has been discussed enough. There are possible workarounds in the comments.

  • It contains a patch to store game prefixes in the main Steam Library under $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata. It helps with isolation of game prefixes between users and works around issues with shared libraries on NTFS partitions due to drive symlinks. To enable it, set the PROTON_USER_COMPAT_DATA env variable to 1.

  • This package requires a Rust 32 bit target, please run rustup target install i686-unknown-linux-gnu BEFORE posting any issues if you're using rustup.

@loathingkernel This seems to be unable to build on 5.13-1b, so it's not gonna get updated until a patch is made.

The version is wrong, the package is versioned as 5.13.1b, it is downloading 5.0-9

That definitely explains why I couldn't find those symbols being defined! Nice work digging in further and finding the commit that removed them.

@justinkb Thank you! If possible could you submit the patch upstream?

Uploaded my fix for the wine_dl{sym,open} issue here https://dpaste.com/49U5YKK2D.txt

Was caused by https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/b87256cd1db21a59484248a193b6ad12ca2853ca upstream commit

I haven't found a solution to this for now... I cannot compile it due to 'wine_dlsym' I think it is from upstream after updating wine-valve.

EDIT: proton-git still have this problem... I submitted an issue on Github: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4108

I have the same problem as @awesome @crashandburn4

Unless someone can contradict me, I'm pretty sure this package is a broken state. I currently have an older version installed, but any compilation breaks using either wine-valve or wine-valve-git (albeit with different errors).

The problem with wine-valve-git seems to be on that packages end, but I can't be sure about if proton or wine-valve is at fault for the undefined reference to 'wine_dlsym'. Has anyone found a solution to this? If this is a universal problem can the maintainer address it?

EndlessEden commented on 2020-07-29 05:20 (UTC)

@heavysink @lilac - Would you consider taking over the proton-git package; it was orphaned, and needs a maintainer.

crashandburn4 commented on 2020-07-08 23:14 (UTC)

I get the same error as @awesome. Does anyone have a solution? had a quick glance at the packages, and couldn't see anything obvious. (in fact, I don't see that symbol in any of the header files for wine-valve, so I'm kinda confused).
