Notes about this package

  • If you encounter issues while using this package, please contact me here first before reporting an issue to the upstream repository. Don't post logs, link to them. If you are using Manjaro, another derivative or an AUR helper, please mention it, I DO NOT TEST AGAINST THEM AND I CANNOT KNOW WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG WITH THE DISTRO/HELPER OF YOUR CHOICE.

  • It takes a LOT of time and space to build. Building with multiple jobs helps but might cause builds to fail in rare cases. Be sure to have at least 16GB of RAM if you are building on tmpfs

  • It is NOT built against Steam Linux Runtime (Sniper, Soldier, etc) and as such it doesn't require it. Still, is detected by Steam and works properly (preferable through steam-native).

  • This PKGBUILD uses CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS hardcoded in the PKGBUILD itself. By default it uses the same C[XX]FLAGS as upstream, namely -march=nocona and -mtune=core-avx2. To change them you will have to edit the PKGBUILD itself. Due to the nature of this package some flags can cause it to fail to build or not function properly. I try to filter them out but it is based on testing. If you have a feeling that compile-time options are involved in the issues you are having please include them in your comment. Currently the filtered options are -fstack-protector-{,-strong,-all}(dxvk and vkd3d only), -fno-plt, -z,relro, -z,now. Also the use of AVX instructions is disabled through -mno-avx.

  • There have been reports with afdko failing to find its dependencies during building. I can't do anything about that as I don't maintain that package. It is NOT an issue with this package and I haven't found a way to not depend on it. Please don't report fails due to afdko (or any of its python- dependencies, they are pulled in due to afdko and only used by that), it has been discussed enough. There are possible workarounds in the comments.

  • It contains a patch to store game prefixes in the main Steam Library under $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata. It helps with isolation of game prefixes between users and works around issues with shared libraries on NTFS partitions due to drive symlinks. To enable it, set the PROTON_USER_COMPAT_DATA env variable to 1.

  • This package requires a Rust 32 bit target, please run rustup target install i686-unknown-linux-gnu BEFORE posting any issues if you're using rustup.

@redfast00 Builds fine here

It appears that git-lfs is also a dependency to build this:

@killermoehre Although might I suggest the alternative of wine-ge-custom which is closer to actual wine and a drop-in replacement for it without the Steam bits and doesn't enforce some choices that only make sense inside of Steam's environment? There are a lot of hidden caveats which I am too busy to iterate over right now.

killermoehre commented on 2023-12-23 17:40 (UTC)

@loathingkernel Looks promising. I will check the proton script as well and hack something together with some shell exec scripts.

@killermoehre, no, here is an example of how I use it. Depending on your use-case you might need more than that. But this will allow you to use it as a replacement for wine without relying on the proton script.

    pfx='/usr/share/steam/compatibilitytools.d/proton/dist'
    export PATH="$pfx/bin/:$PATH"
    export WINEDLLPATH="$pfx/lib64/wine:$pfx/lib/wine"
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$pfx/lib64/:$pfx/lib/"
    export GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH_1_0="$pfx/lib64/gstreamer-1.0:$pfx/lib/gstreamer-1.0"

killermoehre commented on 2023-12-23 17:33 (UTC)

@loathingkernel I use Arch, I'm always on my own. What variables do we talk here? WINEPREFIX? WINEARCH?

loathingkernel commented on 2023-12-23 17:31 (UTC) (edited on 2023-12-23 17:33 (UTC) by loathingkernel)

@killermoehre I would very strongly advise against it, and even more so using symlinks. With proper env variables for library path etc, yes and I sometimes use it as such myself, but if something doesn't work with symlinks you are absolutely on your own.

killermoehre commented on 2023-12-23 17:29 (UTC)

Hi,

can this package be used as replacement (with the proper symlinks) for wine itself?

Can someone help me out? I have not been able to update proton for a while now, and the error it gives me is mystifying. I've tried several packet managers (usually it's paru) and I am running Manjaro (kernel 6.6.5-3) if that's any help.

Here's the problematic part:

@loathingkernel ah, apologies, I had forgotten about rustup controlling installation versions. I also now see the note in the sticky, so apologies for not seeing that!
