Thanks to @shaurz comment and some smaller adjustments, I have got the build working with this git patch:

2.40.1

To get this to build I had to add:

cp $srcdir/baserom.us.z64 $srcdir/sm64plus/

To the 2nd line of build()

Also the built executable is now called sm64.us not sm64.us.f3dex2e

I did some digging and the textures are installed in /opt/sm64plus by this pkgbuild. The executable in /bin correctly targets it using the proper arguments. Could be an issue with having the files loaded on a separate non-user directory? I really don't know. I messed around with directory permissions and nothing worked. Build it from git by yourself if you want this to work in the meantime; I did that and it works fine. I really don't know enough about pkgbuild to suggest a proper fix for this. Quite frankly I'm not sure why this pkgbuild uses /opt in the first place.

@hazelnot the issue still seems to be present, has anyone got this working? Looks like something to do with the gfx folder from the build process. The wiki says you can pass a directory to the 'gfx' argument to fix the purple and black texture issue, but it isn't present once the package is compiled and installed. Honestly I'm not even sure why it's an issue because other SM64pc ports don't have this problem.

@coolreader, thanks for the fix, but now all the textures in the game seem to be completely missing, with a Source Engine-like pink and black checkerboard texture

@coolreader18 Thanks for the update! But I still think audiofile should be added to makedepends, here's why:

$ pacman -R audiofile
...
$ makepkg
...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -laudiofile
collect2: e/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -laudiofile
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:66: tabledesign] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Makefile:152: *** Failed to build tools.  Stop.
$ pacman -S --asdeps audiofile
...
$ makepkg
(compilation succeeds)

The game and the sound will work as intended if you remove audiofile after compiling sm64plus, so it's just a compile-time dependency.

@coolreader18 Python is a make dep, your PKGBUILD is correct, but sm64pc-git isn't. :)

@selurvedu thanks for noticing! definitely don't need glew, ldd doesn't list anything. However, I don't think it actually depends on python at runtime, unless I'm missing something that you caught. the binary has no dependencies on libpython and rg -i python --binary /opt/sm64plus brings up nothing.

Hi! Please consider updating the dependencies in this PKGBUILD, see my comment here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sm64pc-git/#comment-848377

(Of course, you should leave imagemagick as is since you use it directly in build().)

@hazelnot thank you for catching that, fixed it!
