FYI, as of today shadps4 needs vulkan-headers v.305, but the arch package in the repos is out of date. to build you need to switch to vulkan-headers-git from the AUR. Hopefully the arch package will be updated soon.

@username227 Your sdl3 package is out of date, and you do partial upgrades.

Getting a new build error. The error is not upstream, because upstream still builds fine, so it's something in the pkgbuild.

Please lower requirements for zlib otherwise this PKGBUILD is not compatible with zlib-ng-compat: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/lib32-zlib/-/commit/970e67d989e33e5caf46d499c98075ff5d816ba4

@abouvier, that makes no sense. It only builds properly OUTSIDE of the chroot. in the chroot it builds but doesn't work properly.

abouvier commented on 2025-01-07 09:50 (UTC)

@username227 Because in a clean chroot you link against the updated fmt library, whereas the version installed on your live system is the incompatible old one. You shouldn't do partial upgrades and just install your newly compiled shadps4.

username227 commented on 2025-01-01 16:12 (UTC)

OK so I finally understand what is going on, but I don't understand why.

The error I mentioned only occurs when I build in a clean chroot. It builds fine but won't open. When I add !buildflags to the options and build in a chroot, then the program WILL open but games will not start.

When I build outside of a chroot with just a simple makepkg command, then the !makeflags option is not necessary and as long as I use clang like you suggested, it works perfectly. This is quite unusual in my experience. There must be some sort of dependency or makedepends that is missing from the pkgbuild but is present on my system.

username227 commented on 2025-01-01 15:31 (UTC)

@rharish, when I build it your way, i cannot open the program. I get this error: shadps4: symbol lookup error: shadps4: undefined symbol: _ZN3fmt3v116detail10vformat_toERNS1_6bufferIcEENS0_17basic_string_viewIcEENS0_17basic_format_argsINS0_7contextEEENS1_10locale_refE

If I build it my way, I can open the program properly but cannot run games properly. If I build it manually the dev's way then it works. not sure why.

Hi, I can build shadPS4 properly (and it runs well) if I use Clang instead of GCC. Here is the diff with the current PKGBUILD to get it to run properly (I also removed cubeb since upstream removed this audio backend):

OK I was able to my own pkgbuild working again. It was building properly but not executing properly due to changes in the buildflags. My personal pkgbuild is here and it works and builds fine on arch. Posting here just in case anybody is interested.
