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.

I'm facing the same problem like @pagdot. How do I fix this?

I get sed: couldn't edit vrclient_x64/vrclient_x64/json: not a regular file. It seems like the folder json got added to vrclient_x64/vrclient_x64

@yochananmarqos You are correct, neither does pacman. Thanks for pointing it out. I will add an epoch. Annoyingly, upstream is using the exact opposite convention for versioning than pacman and I hadn't looked it up.

@loathingkernel: You'll have to add an epoch otherwise AUR helpers won't see 5.0.6 as an update.

@SpaceGuy: That's an issue with afdko's dependencies, not this package. Do not use pip to install anything. See my comment on the afdko page.

If anyone gets errors because of missing dependencies for python-ufoprocessor (especially for python-fontparts, python-fontpens and python-booleanoperations), it might be a workaround to install python-ufoprocessor with pip. Also if errors occur about missing brotli or zopfli it seems to work if you install them over pip as well. I can confirm that @yochanmarqos's PKGBUILD works. Sorry if I missed something.

@nisarg13 Just take a look at the built package! It's mostly in /usr/lib and /usr/lib32

Hi,

where does proton get installed? I could not find it in the steam directory. Or anywhere for that matter.
