I was thinking of moving the resource path to /opt/fs2_open/wxlauncher since all the other files related to fs2_open is there. Either way I made it configurable in the PKGBUILD file.

Sorry, that should be -DRESOURCES_PATH=/usr/share/wxlauncher/ , not /usr/share .
roadnottaken commented on 2013-11-06 17:41 (UTC)
You should add -DRESOURCES_PATH=/usr/share to the cmake line, to keep the package from installing anything under /usr/local . Other than that, probably the only change would be to update the maintainer line at the top of the PKGBUILD.
Also, it would be a good idea to report the linking bug upstream, as suggested in the last comment of their issue 93. That way the patch could hopefully be dropped in the future.

Also, sorry if I overstepped by bounds uploading a new PKGBUILD here. I didn't think that submitting something new would immediately classify me as the maintainer.
VoltaicLoki commented on 2013-11-06 04:49 (UTC)
I've added a new PKGBUILD that supports 0.9.4. This also builds (as far as I know) a proper package when being used by makepkg. Any comments or feedback is welcome as this is my first attempt at building a package for arch.
roadnottaken commented on 2013-11-04 18:19 (UTC)
wxLauncher is now at version 0.9.4 .

You could also add a nice .desktop file :) I'll make a package for the FSPort mod.
Samsagax commented on 2013-03-29 15:57 (UTC)
Add the two patches linked here: https://code.google.com/p/wxlauncher/issues/detail?id=93
And it works like a charm for the time being. Here is my PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/6dgZp3da

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it is not possible to build the latest "stable" version of wxLauncher on modern Arch Linux because it relies on very out of date packages that Arch no longer includes.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.
