@Strykar Nope, see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wine-ge-custom#comment-831304

You can grab compiled packages from https://github.com/loathingKernel/PKGBUILDs/releases/tag/packages

@thaewrapt, I see, you might be correct. The prebuilt package is not a good candidate for packaging for a couple of reasons. First of all, it is built using Lutris's runtime, and as such inherits the same issues as Proton, namely it is at its best when running inside that runtime. Also, although I might be wrong here, I haven't found any mention of Lutris being able to use a system-wide installation directory in the same way Steam can. For these reasons, I believe that packaging those binaries is pointless and they should be managed by Lutris itself.

@Neko-san the specific compiler that is required is the default compiler and not something that can or will change without user intervention. I am against polluting the script with safeguards against user-defined options, it is a bottomless pit as there is no way to safeguard against everything. The reason certain flags are enforced is because Arch defaults will cause the build process to fail, and the next best candidates are the Proton flags.

@loathingkernel On the contrary, I disagree considering that, if a maintainer knows a specific compiler is required, then they should enforce that the necessary compiler is used.

That aside, I do compile in chroots, and user compiler preference has no bearing on that.

@Neko-san That is the user's responsibility, not the PKGBUILD's. PKGBUILDs from AUR should be built in clean chroots anyways.

Might want to add:

    if [ "$CC" = 'clang' ] && [ "$CXX" = 'clang++' ] || [ "$CC" = 'clang' ] || [ "$CXX" = 'clang++' ] ; then
        export CC=gcc
        export CXX=g++
        export LD=ld
        export AR=""
        export NM=""
        export RANLIB=""
        export STRIP=""
        export OBJCOPY=""
        # Reset debug flags to makepkg.conf defaults, in case Clang is globally set
        export DEBUG_CFLAGS="-g -fvar-tracking-assignments"
        export DEBUG_CXXFLAGS="-g -fvar-tracking-assignments"
    fi

To make sure that, if a user has clang globally set, that it gets unset back to the Arch defaults to prevent builds from failing.

Prebuilt packages can be found here: https://mirror.cachyos.org/?search=wine

how to add this repo:

https://wiki.cachyos.org/en/home/Repo

The packages are built with x86-64 and the optimized x86-64-v3 if your cpu supports that.

@thaewrapt Yes, it is a replacement for regular wine, which can also be used in Lutris as it supports using the system-wide wine.

@loathingkernel Yeah, I see your point as well. With lutris only looking into ~/.local directory for its runners, a possible way is to have a system-wide installation (either in the form of tar archive or extracted) with a shell script that should be run by the enduser from their own gaming account to update local runners directory with a current version from system-wide distribution. Or, as an alternative, one could use a third party script which will just plain download the latest version (or the version of choice) from github releases and put it directly inside the same runners directory.

But, anyway, this is offtopic to this particular AUR package, I guess (as it just provides the alternative to a system-wide wine, correct?).

@loathingkernel I think he's talking about wine-ge-custom-bin package (or however it could be called), meaning automated installation of the prebuilt binaries from https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases
