Thanks for the quick update!

I was wondering, does it indeed make sense to package libhighscore seperately? In Arch (as you know), libs are generally not separated into additional packages, unless they really makes sense as a standalone thing. And I would say that, in this case, the library barely has a standalone use-case. Like, what applications other than highscore are going to use this library? Its description also doesn't mention much in terms of it being broadly useful:

A shared library for Highscore cores

Of course, there is something to be said for the easiest solution, if that is the reasoning.

@rien333: The About dialog reports it's 0.1.0, so I'm going to wait until there's a tag instead of assuming. Either way, the current pkgver is "older" than the old tag, but I'd rather not use an epoch just to placate an AUR helper.

Also, this now seems to depend on a highscore library. From the meson.build file:

libhighscore = dependency('highscore-1')

This dependency is obviously not satisfied here, and thus the build fails with:

Run-time dependency highscore-1 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

This library can be found here:

This currently fails to build because git describe returns an error — for some reason, the maintainers removed all (version) tags.

To work around this, you could use meson to retrieve the version number in json format:

$  meson introspect meson.build --projectinfo
{"descriptive_name": "highscore", "version": "1.0.0", "subprojects": [], "buildsystem_files": ["meson.build", "meson_options.txt", "data/meson.build", "data/icons/meson.build", "data/options/meson.build", "po/meson.build", "src/meson.build", "src/platforms/playstation/meson.build"], "subproject_dir": "subprojects"}

Note that the version changed from 40 back to 1.0. Pipe meson's output into jq to retrieve the version number. Then, append the commit tag with git --describe --long --always.

This is currently failing to build.

Errors while building: No package 'retro-gtk-0.12' found No package 'tracker-sparql-2.0' found

The .install file is no longer needed as pacman has post-upgrade hooks to take care of updating the icon cache.

This is missing some dependecies. Not sure what, as I haven't had time to look into what packages are needed: configure: error: Package requirements ( gio-2.0 glib-2.0 >= 2.38.0 grilo-0.3 gtk+-3.0 libsoup-2.4 libxml-2.0 retro-gtk-0.10 tracker-sparql-1.0 ) were not met: No package 'retro-gtk-0.10' found

@electricprism check the instructions on the upstream URL, there is a "Documentation" section explaining how to add your games.

electricprism commented on 2016-10-09 03:28 (UTC)

I have no idea how to add games to Gnome Games, or tell it that I'm using a Dual Shock 4 or X360 controller. I'm very confused if anyone knows thanks.
