Arch Linux User Repository

openmw-git has been found to require a sizable amount of temporary space during building.

The available amount depends on system specifics so is different for all systems. In case build fails with "no space left on device" you may be bitten by this.

See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=277304 for details and possible solutions.

Please refrain from flagging the git version as out date when a new release comes out. The git aur packages update their version on install time based on the tags of the git repo.

Keep in mind that this is a VCS package and it is meant to be in line with the latest master which might not always work. It is not meant to follow the release pattern in any particularly smart way and assumes that upstream maintains their tags consistently.

For the newest release, the correct page is https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=openmw

@Lone_Wolf: thanks, i go the right way now: it works.

@Le_Limule : you went the wrong way, now repo packages build against boost 1.80 will fail. A better solution would be to rebuild openmw-git against the new boost version.

@txtsd: LGTM , but I haven't had time to check it thoroughly . I would also prefer it if bwrsandman made such decisions.

For now users can manually edit the PKGBUILD with the first (simpler) patch provided by txtsd.

Since a system upgrade i get: openmw-launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_program_options.so.1.79.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I remove the boost package. Then i downgrade the boost-libs package from 1.80 to 1.79. It's ok now.

Alright I got it done. It is commented so it shouldn't be difficult to follow. Here's a patch, and if you add me as a co-maintainer, I can push it myself. I maintain several packages on the AUR.

2.40.0

That results in a 0.48something pkgver ?

The main CMakeLists.txt has the correct version (currently 0.49 ) in these 3 lines

set(OPENMW_VERSION_MAJOR 0)
set(OPENMW_VERSION_MINOR 49)
set(OPENMW_VERSION_RELEASE 0)

If someone can figure out how to use that for pkgver() it would be great.

Here's a patch to make it work.

The tags follow a new format for the RC releases, which is why pkgver() breaks.

Latest pkgbuild is broken, produces pkgver "48-rc6.r1203.ga41cbfb349", but a pkgver with a hyphen in it is invalid and will not build. Renders latest update uninstallable for me

I've got it working on the Talos 2 (ppc64le) so Asahi shouldn't be an issue :)

Anyone able to get OpenMW working on Asahi Linux for the M1 Macbooks?
