Arch Linux User Repository

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

Thanks @dpeukart

Compiles fine with 'pkgver='5.0.r19864.gf2b8baa82c'pkgver='5.0.r19864.gf2b8baa82c'', but cannot launch any game on rdna3 igpu. Anyone else facing this issue ? Ok it does not launch with vulkan on newer igpu's

I will follow up on your gitlab.

thanks!

@Riedler, @rubin55, @spikerguy, @abouvier, @noabody, @xiota, @scatherinch, @Peter0x44 , @carlosalvatore, @cwrau: The patch should now be fixed and this package should now work with fmt 10, sorry for the delay.

@Peter0x44's patch worked for me, would be great if the PKGBUILD could get adjusted

For me it was enough to install aur/fmt9 to build and run dolphin-emu properly.

The world(or extra)/dolphin 23.04.3-1 results in a segmentation fault when trying to start an emulation, therefore the git version is the best choice.

Hope the comment helps somebody.

@scatherinch you just apply the changes in question to the PKGBUILD file from the repo, then run makepkg -si or whatever the AUR helper you're using expects.

EDIT: never mind, I see it is solved for you

@Peter0x44 I'm still kind of new to Arch. One thing I haven't scratched yet is how to build or modify packages in the way you described. However, maybe you wouldn't mind giving me a quick rundown or pointing me to a resource where I could learn to do this?

I would really like to learn and fix this issue!

EDIT: I figured it out. Seems to have solved it for now, can confirm

@scatherinch My suggestion is (as others have mentioned) that you remove "libfmt.so" from the depends, and build dolphin-emu-git using a static fmt that dolphin provides

Here's the relevant patch to the PKGBUILD

Once this gets resolved (hopefully) this workaround won't be necessary

Then, you should be able to update, without any conflicts on libfmt.so.9

I already had this installed beforehand, but trying to -Syu returns an error claiming that updating will break this. I would like to do the update, but I don't want to lose dolphin because I think removing it to update will most assuredly prevent me from installing again from what I've been reading.

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: installing fmt (10.0.0-1) breaks dependency 'libfmt.so=9-64' required by dolphin-emu-git

Therefore, I have not been able to update my system for a few days. Is there a way around this or should I just wait for this to become compatible with the new version of fmt?

Clean chroot. Successfully built after adding -DUSE_SYSTEM_FMT=OFF. No other changes to the PKGBUILD.
