Needs PRESSURE_VESSEL_FILESYSTEMS_RO="/usr/lib/steamvr/alvr/" to make it work. Please include this.

This wasn't building/installing, simply giving an error that there was no branch selected.

The solution was to manually navigate to the cached repository that was being used for building: cd /home/username/.cache/yay/alvr/

and then simply do git checkout master

then try yay -S alvr again and it should install.

Hello,

This currently doesn't build in a clean chroot, with the following errors:

A clean chroot does not include any package beyond base and base-devel groups by default I believe, and all packages used to build are pulled from the PKGBUILD's makedepends array, and their own dependencies.

I've done some research and a quick test and it seems adding https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libva/ to makedepends lets it build properly.

It is possible to test building the package in a clean chroot by using extra-x86_64-build from https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/devtools/ while in the AUR package's git repo.

Build currently fails on my machine. Was able to fix by installing cuda and cuda-tools, and exporting PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/cuda/bin.

Firewalld now includes usr/lib/firewalld/services/alvr.xml, which conflicts with this package. See: https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/issues/1931#issuecomment-1859245369 https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/firewalld/

@eevil just try to upgrade your system before. Or install it from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/alvr-git

Updated to latest version now

Vixea commented on 2023-12-30 20:44 (UTC)

This package is not the latest version this version contains a major bug that is fixed in a later release(please manually change the version yourself or do not use this package and manually build it yourself - you can use the pkgbuild as a guide)

In fact, re the packagename, firewalld has a "system failure" due to the badly-named ruleset: .... ERROR: INVALID_NAME: name can't be empty .... ERROR: Failed to load full stock configuration. This likely indicates a system level issue, e.g. the firewall backend (nftables, iptables) is broken. All hope is lost. Exiting.
