Sorry for the long wait, this is now replaced by q2rtx https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/q2rtx since that is the name of the repo and the binary; while quake2rtx is not used

Ok a working update for this package can be found here: https://github.com/jm2/archlinux-packages/blob/master/quake2rtx/PKGBUILD

@FabioLolix Happy to update this package if granted maintainer permission, or you can upload the update yourself if you'd rather.

It's great that upstream is getting fixes, but that's probably better suited for a -git package variant until something newer than 1.6.0 gets released. That being said, just pinning the SDL2 submodule to the correct version for now is probably the easiest fix to maintain 1.6.0 compatibility.

also, in master - they've added wayland support, and SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 become unnecessary

but wayland hurts performance (7900xtx) - barely 30 fps at 90% scale.

with x11 - 60+fps apt 115% scale

Currently, I builded it with latest master and without any sdl2 repo changes.

The authors of Q2RTX already fixed SDL2 repo submodule (libsdl-org/SDL) and fixed it at revision f17058b

So, a dirty hack make this aur buildable

prepare() {
    cd $srcdir/Q2RTX
    #git checkout tags/v${pkgver} #stay at master
    #sed -i 's/spurious\/SDL-mirror/libsdl-org\/SDL/' .gitmodules .git/config #skip sdl2 changes
    git submodule update --init --recursive
    #rm -rf extern/SDL2 #skip sdl2 changes
    #git submodule update --init --recursive --remote --merge extern/SDL2 #skip sdl2 changes
    mkdir -p $srcdir/Q2RTX/{build,baseq2}
    cp -rf $srcdir/q2rtx/baseq2/* $srcdir/Q2RTX/baseq2/
}

(inbefore, i'm really sorry if formatting goes wrong, i tried)

Well, the simple fix would probably be to just point to a different SDL repo. I tried taking a more radical approach by eliminating nearly all of the external submodules, but it currently goes pear-shaped during linking, and I'm not really a CMake expert to sort it all out. My in-progress attempt can be found here:

I'll disown this package to let someone else make an attempt at fixing this properly.

Build now fails, because the upstream SDL repository that is hacked into this tree is no longer SDL2, but SDL3 prerelease.

This package is now a source-built package pinned to the latest github release. If you'd rather stick to binary releases, install quake2rtx-bin instead.

The binary release is still downloaded for scripts, icons, and assets, but the core binaries are built from source.

jmsq commented on 2021-09-21 14:27 (UTC)

@abouvier fair point; I'll get that fixed tomorrow.

abouvier commented on 2021-09-21 14:19 (UTC)

You should compile from the source or rename this package quake2rtx-bin.
