Arch Linux User Repository

Am i mistaken or is this severely outdated?

When reading the PKGBUID, I can see inn line 6: "_lastrelease='ccbf85ed42e4350af415d56b1465e83614c85ef8'"

I found the build on Github by pasting "ccbf85ed42e4350af415d56b1465e83614c85ef8" after "https://github.com/TASEmulators/desmume/commit/"

This commit is from 2015: https://github.com/TASEmulators/desmume/commit/ccbf85ed42e4350af415d56b1465e83614c85ef8

It would be much better to use commit "629724d865d05e39f016c1e3f271eb944dfb449c" which is the latest one currently, as can be seen in: https://github.com/TASEmulators/desmume/commits/master

Does anyone know how to compile it with clang?

It seems like this is not working with GCC 10:

Sanity check compiler command line: cc /tmp/desmume-git/src/desmume/build/meson-private/sanitycheckc.c -o /tmp/desmume-git/src/desmume/build/meson-private/sanitycheckc.exe -minline-all-stringops -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -pipe -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -minline-all-stringops -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
Sanity check compile stdout:

-----
Sanity check compile stderr:
cc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-minline-all-stringops -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2’

It builds if I remove -minline-all-stringops from the PKGBUILD.

This crashes when trying to edit joystick controls on GUI. When running this in the command-line I can see it detects my Xbox 360 gamepad.

Sure, I would gladly accept co-maintainership. :)

It’s just that I was sad to see DeSmuME still depend on gtk2 and sdl so I upgraded that upstream to gtk3 and sdl2 (and made sure that it works on Wayland too).

@linkmauve, would you like to take over maintainer-ship of this package or at least become co-maintainer. you seem to know a lot more about it than I do. I only took it over originally because it was really out of date and broken. thanks

Hi, I’ve just removed sdl usage from DeSmuME, you can now replace it with sdl2. You can also remove intltool which hasn’t been used for quite a long time.

Also note that you can remove all entries from makedepends which are also present in depends, since they are mandatory to install at build anyway.

Thanks for the fixes! Sorry my mistake it's just a build warning, and it's not related to wifi.

I think the HUD tries to build by default now and wants libagg, whereas before it had to be enabled with --enable-hud

Run-time dependency libagg found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

(the feature is disabled correctly though when not found, so it doesn't cause any problems) libagg is in AUR, so I'd rather not enable it by default.

Hi, thanks for the notice and sorry for the long wait, I’ve just pushed fixes for your issues.

What do you mean by “wifi support wants libagg” though? I can’t find anything linking them two anywhere (but neither did I find a game which requires wifi in my library to test it with).

I ran into a few issues while converting to the meson build.

• the man pages don't get installed
• wifi support wants libagg?
• makefile still exists and tries to link against gtk2
