PKGBUILD tweaks

If you want to build with clang, add this part to cmake flags:

    -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER='clang++' \
    -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER='clang' \

If you want to use bundled fuzzylite:

    -DFORCE_BUNDLED_FL=ON \

If you want to use innoextract (system-wide installation won't work since vcmi has a temporary? fork of innoextract for now):

    -DENABLE_INNOEXTRACT=ON \

@Raziel23: I am also experiencing freezes when compiling, and I also have 8gb ram. Are you saying that your compilation is finishing even though your computer is frozen? Also, I get this with both this package and vcmi-git.

[Bump to version 0.96-1]. New upstream release. The changelog is as follows: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=12595#12595 I have added libxkbcommon-x11 dependency in order to run properly the vcmilauncher. Starting from version 0.96 vcmi supports XDG filesystem specifications. This transition mean that all user data has been moved according to specs: - Game data (H3 files and mods) and saves: from ~/.vcmi to ~/.local/share/vcmi - Temporary files, including logs: from ~/.vcmi to ~/.cache/vcmi - Config files: from ~/.vcmi/config to ~/.config/vcmi This transition affect users who have already installed previous version of vcmi than 0.96. New users who have not previously installed vcmi are not affected by this transition because those directories will be created automatically during data preparation by vcmibuilder script. Users who have already installed previous version of vcmi have to: - move game data to ~/.local/share/vcmi with command: mkdir ~/.local/share/vcmi && mv ~/.vcmi/{Data,Games,Maps,Mp3,Mods,Saves} ~/.local/share/vcmi/ - move temporary files to ~/.cache/vcmi with command: mkdir ~/.cache/vcmi && mv ~/.vcmi/{*log.txt,downloads} ~/.cache/vcmi/ - remove remaining config files because they are not compatible in vcmi version 0.96 with command: rm -rf ~/.vcmi Here is the appropriate announcement about this: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=11696#11696

@Tjuh: I have to admit that I've also experienced this situation, even with my 8 GB of memory. I can successfully compile the vcmi but like you said its freezing the system during compilation. I can't do anything with this. This issue not occur with the vcmi-git package so you should use it. In the future in the vcmi version 0.96 this issue should not exist.

I am not able to compile this, I can't get past 3% due to it freezing up my system. I have 4GB of mem, yet it keeps draining them and crashing.

@salviati: I'm aware that there is already the development version of vcmi (0.95b), but this version is mainly intended for testers and it isn't considered as the stable version. This package however contain the stable version. If you want follow more closely the project you can use vcmi-git which is in fact the development version of vcmi (precisely speaking vcmi 0.95b was announced in git commit 1dbc0c7).

[Bump to version 0.95-1]. New upstream release. The changelog is as follows: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=11664#11664 I've also removed -DENABLE_LAUNCHER='Yes' option. Now it's enabled by default.

@Arhat: Vcmi has many configuration files written in json data format. You can list with command: pacman -Ql vcmi |grep json The best way to change theme is to copy appropriate configuration files to corresponding directories within ~/.vcmi directory and there modify them (in this manner the original configuration files remain intact and your modified configuration files will not be overwritten when you install new version of vcmi in the future). So to answer your question, simply copy defaultMods.json file to ~/.vcmi/config directory with command: cp /usr/share/vcmi/config/defaultMods.json ~/.vcmi/config/ Edit it and change "STACK_EXPERIENCE" and "COMMANDERS" options from false to true value. BTW. This question should be directed to the vcmi forum :)

Thanks for your work here. Following the discussions in the vcmi forum, I gathered, that two WoG features should work with vcmi: commanders and stack experience. However I can't get either of them to work. I do have the Mods/WoG/Data/zvs Directory and the mod.json file. vmcilauncher says WoG is installed. Any ideas what else I need to look for?
