Not an issue with the package, but just a general comment: I've found the latest beta/SVN version (r4553) to have some noticeable quality of life improvements over the latest stable version, such as not grabbing the keyboard input exclusively so shortcuts/hotkeys still work while playing, and handling mouse sensitivity more like Crispy Doom. This is due to the SDL->SDL2 upgrade.

I have confirmed and applied tonymke's patch.

Disowned. I'm not using Arch Linux for now.

I enountered a couple minor linker issues with this guy:

  • Upstream uses mktemp.2 in its demo recording, which will fail the build with a message like this: "warning: the use of 'mktemp' is dangerous, better use 'mkstemp'"
  • Several symbols are defined repeatedly - probably from not using #ifndef and the like. Adding the "-z muldefs" LDFLAG resolves.

This is my "I just want to play Doom right now" patch for the PKGBUILD to address these - I'm by no means a packaging expert though, and I'm sure there's a cleaner way to do the mktemp patching.

@popexxiii Looks like recent update of fluidsynth broke the API compatibility. Just rebuilding this package should fix the issue.

Just an FYI, I was on prboom-plus 2.5.1.4-1 and got this error.

prboom-plus: error while loading shared libraries: libfluidsynth.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Updating to prboom-plus 2.5.1.4-3 fixed it. Hope this helps anyone that bumps into that error.

NoSuck, looks like the latest version now takes an argument int "restrict_". The function's only used in this one place, so if reported to upstream it should be a quickish fix.

I actually haven't used this package for a while, since Doom 1 & 2 are both short games, so...orphaning. Good luck!

This no longer compiles with the latest version of DUMB.

Don't have time to keep this PKGBUILD updated. Feel free to adopt it.
