Thanks snailman, no problem. This package hasn't received upstream commits in a while, so it's not surprising to me that it gets orphan'ed frequently, it takes some work to deal with...
Anyway I brought in the changes from stepmania-git into here so I think the PKGBUILD should be working again (at least it works for me :P). I also saw you submitted a merge request for stepmania-git, which I think is the right move, hope that can be processed soon.
Hi vEnhance,
I added you as a co-maintainer. I was added as a co-maintainer originally because I was able to resolve some issues with the build a couple of years ago, I didn't even know the original package maintainer left (I haven't gotten any notifications about any of it until your comment just now). I'm still an active SM user but haven't had to build it myself in close to a year.
The comments from za3k also worked for me for getting the package to build with FFMPEG 8. (I also played a song and it works OK. I took a long break from this game because I broke my ankle at the start of 2025, it felt good to be able to play again after a year 😉)
There is another nearly-identical AUR package called stepmania-git. For weird historical-accident reasons, I still have co-maintainer status on that package, but not this one. So I've updated the PKGBUILD there to use the suggestions from za3k.
However, in the long term, I suggest that we should:
stepmania-git into this package, since there is no point in having two of these.What do you think, @snailman153624 ?
Builds and starts for me with ffmpeg 8 using:
Both the existing ffmpeg-7.patch and stepmania-ffmpeg-8.patch from https://github.com/Tatsh/tatsh-overlay/commit/4700f7eec421922a800568ebefde9a42f258292d .
Added to the CMake parameters:
-DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Wno-deprecated-declarations" \
-DWITH_GTK3=no \
Building is broken since FFMPEG went from version 7 to 8. My (now obsolete) already compiled binary won't work either.
I've posted the issue on github https://github.com/stepmania/stepmania/issues/2291
And to fix the build here, a simple patch is required. I'll post it in the package out-of-date

Adding to what @ApertureUA is mentioning: as a workaround to building this now you'll need to rollback cmake to the last version pre-4.0 (3.31.6-1 in the archive )
nvm doesn't run: Couldn't load driver gtk: dlopen(): /opt/stepmania-5.1/GtkModule.so: undefined symbol: _Z13CreateSurfaceiiijjjj Error: Couldn't open any loading windows.

Dear users,
Please kindly install AUR/stepmania instead of the '-git' build.
It is pointless to keep the latter, as upstream has not received any new commit during the last 2 years.
The stable stepmania package has an active maintainer, and it already builds from upstream's last available commit, and gets patched on AUR whenever some fixes are needed.
