The PKGBUILD for this package is hosted here (contributions are welcome!): https://gitlab.com/dpeukert/pkgbuilds/tree/main/dolphin-emu-git

@xiota I see. It works as well and it builds just fine without requiring a downgrade minizip-ng package. Clang and mold work perfectly as well:

however, I still have the earlier bug of "When built with Clang, everything works fine, except for the fact that adding folders with the option "Search Subfolders" in "Config" crashes Dolphin immediately."

How do I activate a much more verbose debug message or get access to the logs? If this is getting too complex, I could open up a thread on this subject.

@BlueSwordM The primehack package is behind. The debugfast package would be closer to this one for comparison. (In terms of depends and submodules.)

@xiota, you are right! Dolphin Primehack builds just fine, with both Clang/LLD and Clang/Mold.

I'll check what the issue is exactly, and what differs.

@BlueSwordM Are you building in a clean chroot? Try another dolphin-emu package (that isn't flagged out of date). Does it have the same issue?

@xiota, mold did not work either lmao. Had it worked, I wouldn't be here.

I will try again however, just to check :D

@BlueSwordM Usually when using clang, linker is switched to lld because using clang + ld can have problems with any package. If you can't or don't want to use lld, you can try mold, which is designed to work with both gcc and clang.

@xiota, no. It builds and run just fine. Even when I run dolphin-emu in the terminal, there's no error message. I guess I can build with debug to check what the issue is.

As for if it builds with ldd, the answer is no because of 2 reasons: 1. The LD flags "-Wl,--copy-dt-needed-entries" only work with the standard ld linker. 2. If I remove these flags, the builds just fails with the usual minizip error.

@BlueSwordM Any error message when run in terminal? Did you remember to switch the linker to ldd when you switched to clang?

Forcing depends versions in packages is usually not the right solution on AUR. The package will eventually break again, and forcing downgrades causes problems with other packages.

To add to this, with default makepkg LDFLAGS options: "LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now"

When built with Clang, everything works fine, except for the fact that adding folders with the option "Search Subfolders" in "Config" crashes Dolphin immediately.

Is this a Dolphin issue, a Clang/LLVM issue or an Arch issue?

This PKGBUILD is currently not working if you have the latest version of minizip-ng (zlib-ng) 4.0.4-1.1. I had to revert to 4.0.3 to get it to work.

You can either downgrade the pack using the Arch Package archive or force external library use instead of system library use.
