State of this package

Currently it is not possible to build the latest "stable" version of wxLauncher on modern Arch Linux because it relies on very out of date packages that Arch no longer includes. These issues are mostly fixed in the upstream repository, so if they ever release a new version then I will update this package. As it is, I recommend using the wxlauncher-git package, which does currently work.

Has to depend on wxwidgets-gtk3, the other wxwidgets packages don't provide the needed CMake files.

Hi, dunno if you noticed, but the 'Play' button is intermittently available, you have to weirdly position the cursor when the button is highlighted for it to be clickable.

I'm still trying to find the offending flag, already found one but there is another. However with the default CFLAGS, it builds, installs and runs just fine, only get a reference to $srcdir for 'usr/bin/wxlauncher' but so far it's harmless. Thank you very much for your work.

Hey there, thanks for the quick update. I'll have to do some extensive testing and will get back to you because I'm using a heavily modified makepkg.conf with quite a few obscure flags. Thanks for your interest in FS2, been playing this game on and off ever since it was released more than 20 years ago and the only thing I couldn't get to work was this launcher.

@Tjuh can you try the latest change to the PKGBUILD and see if that works? I can't reproduce your error locally.

MageJohn commented on 2022-12-13 18:35 (UTC)

@OdinOmega thanks for the report! I investigated and it looks like it's because of updates to wxWidgets. I've added some patches to help it build and run properly with wxWidgets 3.2. I've also submitted the patches to the wxLauncher repo so hopefully they'll get upstreamed as well.

Hello, thanks for updating this pkg, one problem tho. Builds and installs just fine but cannot launch due to this;

tjuh@EOSTJUH ~ $ wxlauncher
Fatal Error: Unable to load splash image. This normally means that you are running the Launcher from a folder that the launcher 
Aborted

Can anyone build this package? All dependencies are installed, but I get this error:

Any way of getting this working now Python 2 is being phased out?
