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.

@MarsSeed

This package is indeed a duplicate of stepmania, and I tend to agree that keeping packages like this is basically pointless. The main stepmania package is forced to pull from the latest commit since upstream hasn't made a point release in well over 6 years, and said release doesn't build without a considerable amount of patching.

While your at it, you may want to take a look at rlvm-git. It's in a similar situation. Despite having a semi-active upstream, the last release was 10 years ago, and thus the main rlvm package is forced to build from the latest commit.

Thank you for your response, @vEnhance.

Dear @neeshy (but also @vEnhance or anyone else), I'd love to hear your feedback on the question of viability of this package.

My line of thinking was, 'What would be the point of keeping a git package for source code that no longer receives commits since 2 years ago?'

In my view at least, if this is kept, it would be just a duplicate of the stable AUR/stepmania.

But please kindly share your point of view on this, so I can decide the fate of my just-submitted, currently pending deletion request for the git package.

@MarsSeed: I disowned the stepmania-git package at the request of neeshy, who mantains the stable package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/stepmania and asked to adopt it. You may wish to talk with them.

As of the latest upgrade to ffmpeg a couple days ago, I found I needed to apply the following patch in order to get the game to compile:

diff --git a/src/arch/MovieTexture/MovieTexture_FFMpeg.cpp b/src/arch/MovieTexture/MovieTexture_FFMpeg.cpp

I've adopted the package and updated it to work with system ffmpeg5

Confirming that the package still does not build. Using the fixes from @justin-sleep works.

dustovich commented on 2022-11-29 21:16 (UTC)

One thing I would suggest is adding a provides=stepmania so that some of the themes can have their dependencies met...unless this is by design.

justin-sleep commented on 2022-05-26 19:35 (UTC)

The build errors are likely related to -DWITH_SYSTEM_FFMPEG=ON in the PKGBUILD. Stepmania doesn't build with FFMPEG 5 Modifying the PKGBUILD to use the bundled FFMPEG (and remove Ninja as the generator) fixes the build for me:

cmake -S $_pkgname -B build \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=None \
    -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $CFLAGS" \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $CXXFLAGS" \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt \
    -DCMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION=ON \
    -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=ON \
    -DWITH_SYSTEM_GLEW=ON \
    -DWITH_SYSTEM_JPEG=ON \
    -DWITH_SYSTEM_JSONCPP=ON \
    -DWITH_SYSTEM_MAD=ON \
    -DWITH_SYSTEM_OGG=ON \
    -DWITH_SYSTEM_PCRE=ON \
    -DWITH_SYSTEM_PNG=ON \
    -DWITH_SYSTEM_TOMCRYPT=ON \

Getting the same build error as @rixx, manually compiling with cmake and make works for me as well.
