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

A small patch is needed: https://pastebin.com/U6r6fkv7

In the PKGBUILD add BOOST_BIND_GLOBAL_PLACEHOLDERS to the DEFINES variable:

qmake CONFIG+="client" DEFINES+="BOOST_BIND_GLOBAL_PLACEHOLDERS" QMAKE_CFLAGS_ISYSTEM= -spec linux-g++ ${pkgname}.pro

If you get an error "unable to unpack server list" for Internet games, you need to edit your settings to point at an https page: see the PokerTH website

greensmurf: It says "of memory" in line 4, maybe you are out of memory, either RAM or hard disk space?

blacktav commented on 2020-06-04 08:30 (UTC)

Bumped; thanks for the heads-up

PhotonX commented on 2020-06-04 07:53 (UTC)

Looks like another rebuild against the new protobuf version is needed.
