the sha512 sum for spirv.patch is incorrect

@TheMaxus Opened up an issue over at the github repo.

UPDATE: The issue is fixed, but only in the git version right now.

spirv-remap is no longer included in Arch repositories as far as I can tell so the package no longer builds

@HurricanePootis thanks for the feedback.

Given that it reportedly works for you and @kinker31, I looked back into it, and it turns out there was an issue on my end. I had an older /etc/makepkg.conf file. After merging it with the /etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew file, vkquake now builds without errors, no patch needed.

Diffing the two files, the default CFLAGS do look quite different. I can only assume that the error was caused by one of them.

I can still build vkquake with gcc 13 without experiencing those builds

kinker31 commented on 2024-04-17 14:31 (UTC)

VKQuake builds, installs, and plays without any major issue on my end, though for some reason the program doesn't save the option whever to enable smooth animations/movements or not, and defaults to "Smooth", which I personally find undesirable.

janvkn commented on 2024-04-02 08:53 (UTC)

@HurricanePootis the build currently fails with GCC13.

The patch that @spillner provided below was apparently taken from upstream https://github.com/Novum/vkQuake/commit/19d76588037977f59506c18aa3d307f8f5124d0f

Related upstream issue can be found here: https://github.com/Novum/vkQuake/issues/688

HurricanePootis commented on 2023-09-28 17:24 (UTC)

@zed123 @spillner, I was able to build vkquake without the patch in a clean chroot. Please provide more information on this patch and where it comes from before expecting me to take it in.
