This latest version 50 does build fine and by & large seems to work OK. However, I have experienced some unreliable behaviour when the remote server cannot be reached for an Internet game.

I suspect this current build is tickling some transient behaviour with the remote server and can result in some unusual results: failed connections and temporary login retries. To-date, nothing specific seems to clear these issues: if you do find something, please share it here.

It does seem to sort itself out eventually and once connected, remains stable enough.

Thanks to the finger-pointing of #benoliver999 and a huge assist from #jlocash, we now have a functional build plan again.

This latest version has required the deployment of a supporting github instance; this is probably a temporary device will I figure some long-term solution.

Because so many issues have developed of late due to the age of the original 1.1.2 release which is now triggering deprecations in associated code (boost, QT amongst others) it is becoming increasingly difficult for PokerTH to age gracefully.

The recommended solution by the PokerTH team is to use a jailed version of the original source code and locked versions of dependencies such as boost & QT: such as that made available for flatpak.

If you prefer to use flatpak (rather than limping along with this AUR release):

1 install flatpak with pacman or whatever

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/flatpak/

2 then head over to https://flathub.org/apps/net.pokerth.PokerTH

to find out how to deploy and run a "stable" version of pokerth

Thank you for your fast update, i rebuilt pokerth 1.1.2-26 with protobuf 23.3-1, and it works fine again.

Bumped to release 26 Includes patch to explicitly include a few libraries

After the latest protobuf update to version 23.3-1 pokerth won't start anymore:

pokerth: error while loading shared libraries: libprotobuf.so.32: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And a rebuild (as suggested by checkrebuild) failed too:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libprotobuf.so: undefined reference to symbol '_ZN4absl12lts_2023012512log_internal17MakeCheckOpStringIllEEPNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEET_T0_PKc'

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libabsl_log_internal_check_op.so.2301.0.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line

Only workaround by now is to keep protobuf at version 21.12-2.
