PKGBUILD tweaks

If you want to build with clang, add this part to cmake flags:

    -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER='clang++' \
    -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER='clang' \

If you want to use bundled fuzzylite:

    -DFORCE_BUNDLED_FL=ON \

If you want to use innoextract (system-wide installation won't work since vcmi has a temporary? fork of innoextract for now):

    -DENABLE_INNOEXTRACT=ON \

The CMakeLists.txt in laucher/lib/innoextract needs a similar treatment to the main one, as it is also trying to look for the boost system component uncoditionally.

Still unable to build with:

    -DENABLE_INNOEXTRACT=ON

Similar error:

CMake Error at /usr/lib/cmake/Boost-1.89.0/BoostConfig.cmake:141 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "boost_system"
  (requested version 1.89.0) with any of the following names:

    boost_systemConfig.cmake
    boost_system-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "boost_system" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "boost_system_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "boost_system" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
  has been installed.

  /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:609 (find_package)
  launcher/lib/innoextract/CMakeLists.txt:163 (find_package)

Please fix, unable to build:

There is a problem with Boost 1.89. Looks like it can be solved by this change https://github.com/dscharrer/innoextract/pull/199

Ah, I had a feeling we'll have issues after the recent updates, lol. Thanks, @Crandel, will push the patch soon!

If build failed with error

here is the fix, until upstream will publish new version

FYI, you'll need -DENABLE_INNOEXTRACT=ON to install Heroes Chronicles [https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi/blob/develop/docs/players/Heroes_Chronicles.md] With -DENABLE_INNOEXTRACT=OFF, VCMI segfaults when importing GOG files.

Aborting...

By the way, what type of markings (code?) I have to use to make the output not be clamped together, like others did below?

If you do not want to wait for the fix from devs here is a dirty working solution

@Crandel I think sdl2_ttf update caused this to happen. Similar issue is open in upstream: https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi/issues/5207
