@barburger You could use epoch=1 in the PKGBUILD, as described here, and then use a pkgver as described in the original commenter's link.

Hi there.

I'm a disabled fella with a broken usb C port on my Elite controller. Your work has let me game on Linux. You have no idea how much I appreciate this, thank you :)

Also, works great on my dual-boot :)

@katt thank you for the feedback. If I change the pkgver it thinks the new package is a downgrade. Do you know of any ways to deal with it?

Please adjust your pkgver to something a bit more sensible, see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#The_pkgver()_function

Also all that echoing in package() should really go into an .install script https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#install

Almost forgot, curl is in base-devel and does not need to be included in makedepends.

@JudgeManganese it seems to work fine over here now, too :) Thank you! I restarted after installing which might have helped.

@nicoe works just fine here with that workaround. You might need to restart the service or pick it up from a new location since a few comments ago. You can do the following:

systemctl disable --now xow
systemctl enable --now xow

If the issue still persists, you could file an issue with upstream.

I'm getting the following error when trying to install: make: *** No rule to make target 'xow.service'. Stop.

Trying muhgoslav_klose's workaround doesn't seem to work as the service instantly crashes when trying to pair with a controller.

Hi, I had to remove

make BUILD=RELEASE xow.service

to build it correctly. Works flawlessly.

After upgrade you need to reenable the xow.service, because the service location changed and old symlink is broken.

@Jeffrey4l Added.

@bbrks I can build it without p7zip. Maybe something changed upstream.

need add cabextract as dependency

Thanks for the package!

As a heads up: I needed to add p7zip to the make dependencies.

@crab2313

I don't want to run anything with su rights, i added a reminder. Thanks.

@viggy96

I didn't notice that it broke, thanks. Your changes seems to install the bin to /usr/local/bin which is not allowed. I modified it a little bit.

The PKGBUILD needs to be changed such that the build step contains:

make BUILD=RELEASE
make BUILD=RELEASE xow.service

And the package step contains:

make DESTDIR=$pkgdir/ install

@barburger

run

    udevadm control --reload
    udevadm trigger

in the install script to make udev rules take effect immediately or remind the users to reboot their system.

PKGBUILD was out of date, should be fixed now.

Hey, xow is great and working for me, but with your package occurs an error: "sed: can't read xow.service: No such file or directory" I cloned it from git and it works for with the xbox dongle, love it.

One dir named "}"

$ pacman -Ql xow-git ... xow-git /usr/lib/systemd/system/}/
