Anyone feel like making a precompiled binary package? For a recreation of a game engine from 1999 this takes a surprisingly long time to build (it filled up my 2GB /tmp and I haven't felt like trying again yet)...

Hello, please rename the tarball to $pkgname-$pkgver like format, so it is possible to use shared source directory. Thank you.

@gonciarz I've documented the problem on your VCMI issues page (http://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2511) so see the most recent note for more details. And @bwrsandman, please remove the `minizip` dependency (also in vcmi-git), as currently, one has to remove it to get any mods to install.

I retested the newest vcmi package. I'm able to compile it but when I try to install WOG from vcmilauncher I got Segmentation fault: vcmilauncher Failed to open file /home/ruppertus/.config/vcmi/modSettings.json File <unknown> is not a valid JSON file! At line 21, position 2 warning: Comma expected! At line 36, position 1 warning: Comma expected! File <unknown> is not a valid JSON file! At line 21, position 2 warning: Comma expected! At line 36, position 1 warning: Comma expected! Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I'm sorry for a mess. I've checked vcmi-git package. I'll retest it against vcmi soon.

There seems to be a bug in builder, it doesn't exist in the vcmi-git package. When I have the time, I will try and find the patch which fixes it. For the meantime, you can try installing the vcmi-git package, running vcmibuilder, then installing the vcmi package.

Thanks, anyway I'm not able to install anything from vcmilauncher. Example scenario: 1. rm -rf ~/.local/share/vcmi ~/.cache/vcmi ~/.config/vcmi ~/.local/share/vcmi/Saves 2. vcmibuilder --data ~/heroes3_complete_installation 3. vcmilauncher 4. From Launcher, install WOG causes crash. If you are able to recreate it on your arch, then please add the proper comment in http://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2511 otherwise please let me know if I'm doing something wrong.

Fixed the compile issues. Your issue was an ambiguity with boost and std's make_shared() There also was an issue with ffmpeg.

@oppsig: You are not using current 0.98-2 tarball which include a compile fix for this (precisely speaking 0001-Fix-building-with-Boost-1.58.patch file), but you are using the old 0.98-1 tarball. I suspect that this is an AUR wrapper (yaourt) fault which you are using. It simply use the tarball from the old AUR (aur.archlinux.org), not from new one (aur4.archlinux.org). You can manually download the new tarball and manually build the package by using makepkg.

[Bump to version 0.98-1]. New upstream release. The changelog is as follows: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=14153#14153 Also the PKGBUILD was cleaned up.

[Bump to version 0.97-1]. New upstream release. The changelog is as follows: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=13381#13381 I switched from SDL 1 to SDL 2, added minizip dependency and updated the installation instructions.

@salviati: Why you flag this package out of date? There isn't newer stable version of vcmi than 0.96. Version 0.96b is a development version (not stable one). If you want use it please use vcmi-git package.

[Update without bump the pkgver]. Set MAKEFLAGS="-j1" in the PKGBUILD in order to avoid running out of memory during compilation, because some people have problems with exceeding their memory during compilation with more than one job. Better safe than sorry. This change doesn't affect the package (only compilation) so I didn't bump the pkgver to avoid recompilation for other people.

@bladedglove: Good catch. Thank you for the tip. With my 2 cores (2 threads) memory usage doesn't exceed my 8 GB. I think that instead of changing /etc/makepkg.conf I will set the variable MAKEFLAGS="-j1" in the PKGBUILD to avoid such situations. The compilation time will take longer (for me with -j1 it takes about 40 minutes), but at least more people will be able build the vcmi successfully.

To avoid running out of memory and freezing your system on multicore computers, set a lower value for MAKEFLAGS="-jX" in /etc/makepkg.conf before running makepkg -s. Compiling with "-j4" (forcing the compiler to use all 4 cores of my i5 CPU) resulted in running out of memory (8GB) and failing at 56%, but the "-j1" value forced the compiler to use only 1 core and the top memory usage was at around ~3-4GB. Of course, using a huge swap partition/file is also a solution, but that's another story.

@KlavKalashj: I've experienced freezing the system during compilation vcmi version 0.95. Even with the frozen system I was able successfully compile vcmi 0.95. For me with vcmi version 0.96 and with vcmi-git this issue not exist. I can only speak for myself, because the problem doesn't exist for me. I presume that this issue may that exist during compilation registerTypes. This part of compilation takes most memory and time compilation. I'm not vcmi developer, I'm only the package maintainer and I don't know how solve this problem. You can write about this issue in the vcmi forum. Here it is the related topic about this problem: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=11612

@Raziel23: I am also experiencing freezes when compiling, and I also have 8gb ram. Are you saying that your compilation is finishing even though your computer is frozen? Also, I get this with both this package and vcmi-git.

[Bump to version 0.96-1]. New upstream release. The changelog is as follows: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=12595#12595 I have added libxkbcommon-x11 dependency in order to run properly the vcmilauncher. Starting from version 0.96 vcmi supports XDG filesystem specifications. This transition mean that all user data has been moved according to specs: - Game data (H3 files and mods) and saves: from ~/.vcmi to ~/.local/share/vcmi - Temporary files, including logs: from ~/.vcmi to ~/.cache/vcmi - Config files: from ~/.vcmi/config to ~/.config/vcmi This transition affect users who have already installed previous version of vcmi than 0.96. New users who have not previously installed vcmi are not affected by this transition because those directories will be created automatically during data preparation by vcmibuilder script. Users who have already installed previous version of vcmi have to: - move game data to ~/.local/share/vcmi with command: mkdir ~/.local/share/vcmi && mv ~/.vcmi/{Data,Games,Maps,Mp3,Mods,Saves} ~/.local/share/vcmi/ - move temporary files to ~/.cache/vcmi with command: mkdir ~/.cache/vcmi && mv ~/.vcmi/{*log.txt,downloads} ~/.cache/vcmi/ - remove remaining config files because they are not compatible in vcmi version 0.96 with command: rm -rf ~/.vcmi Here is the appropriate announcement about this: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=11696#11696

@Tjuh: I have to admit that I've also experienced this situation, even with my 8 GB of memory. I can successfully compile the vcmi but like you said its freezing the system during compilation. I can't do anything with this. This issue not occur with the vcmi-git package so you should use it. In the future in the vcmi version 0.96 this issue should not exist.

I am not able to compile this, I can't get past 3% due to it freezing up my system. I have 4GB of mem, yet it keeps draining them and crashing.

@salviati: I'm aware that there is already the development version of vcmi (0.95b), but this version is mainly intended for testers and it isn't considered as the stable version. This package however contain the stable version. If you want follow more closely the project you can use vcmi-git which is in fact the development version of vcmi (precisely speaking vcmi 0.95b was announced in git commit 1dbc0c7).

[Bump to version 0.95-1]. New upstream release. The changelog is as follows: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=11664#11664 I've also removed -DENABLE_LAUNCHER='Yes' option. Now it's enabled by default.

@Arhat: Vcmi has many configuration files written in json data format. You can list with command: pacman -Ql vcmi |grep json The best way to change theme is to copy appropriate configuration files to corresponding directories within ~/.vcmi directory and there modify them (in this manner the original configuration files remain intact and your modified configuration files will not be overwritten when you install new version of vcmi in the future). So to answer your question, simply copy defaultMods.json file to ~/.vcmi/config directory with command: cp /usr/share/vcmi/config/defaultMods.json ~/.vcmi/config/ Edit it and change "STACK_EXPERIENCE" and "COMMANDERS" options from false to true value. BTW. This question should be directed to the vcmi forum :)

Thanks for your work here. Following the discussions in the vcmi forum, I gathered, that two WoG features should work with vcmi: commanders and stack experience. However I can't get either of them to work. I do have the Mods/WoG/Data/zvs Directory and the mod.json file. vmcilauncher says WoG is installed. Any ideas what else I need to look for?

[Bump to version 0.94-1]. New upstream release. The changelog is as follows: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=10538#10538 I've also added qt5-base dependency in order to compile and run properly vcmilauncher (mod manager). vcmilauncher can automatically download and manage available mods for vcmi.

[Bump to version 0.93-1]. New upstream release. The changelog is as follows: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=9354

[Bump to version 0.92-2]. I have take advantage of pacman version 4.1 and slightly update the PKGBUILD. The changes I have made are: - removed from makedepends subversion (it shouldn't be there) - added a prepare() function which creates an empty build directory - added three new dependencies (desktop-file-utils, gtk-update-icon-cache, hicolor-icon-theme) in order to update icon and desktop files after installing, updating and removing the vcmi package - removed two dependencies (sdl, zlib) because they are already satisfied by other packages (respectively by boost-libs and sdl_image) - added a post remove message which tells that in order to completely remove the vcmi package you have to manually remove the ~/.vcmi directory If you encounter any problems with new PKGBUILD please leave here a comment.
