PKGBUILD for PCSX2

[vEX] · 2007-04-02 13:36:00

Since PCSX2 finally got their Linux port updated I figured I'd give it a try, of course I want to have pacman handle it as well, hence I began to put a PKGBUILD together. This is a first for me so please point out any errors.

I don't know how to properly specify that this package requires OpenGL, I'm not sure what to put in depends for that, any ideas?

Make sure you have these libraries: gtk2, OpenGL, Cg (for the GS plugins)

If you're using Arch64 you will need to modify the nvidia-cg-toolkit PKGBUILD found in AUR since it only builds for x86, simply change the filename from "Cg-1.5_x86.tar.gz" to "Cg-1.5_x86_64.tar.gz" and then either remove the md5sum or put in the new one "b8adf028a41f70424c0147f54c2f9aa8".

It should work fine on i686 too I guess, but I haven't tested it.

... PKGBUILD removed, check post below ...

Since PCSX2 puts all it's configure files, user files in local directories to the emulator I had give full permissions for anyone in the users group for those directories. However, when I install the package those permissions aren't preserved, they are correct if I look under $startdir/pkg/, am I overlooking something? Should this be put in a post-install file?

To make any use of PCSX2 you will need a BIOS-file, so that info must go in a post-install file anyway (pointing here: http://www.pcsx2.net/downloads.php?p=tool), I just haven't created it yet.

I still don't know how to take care of that dependency, atm I've put a note in pre_install().

I've installed and run namcap on the files and it suggets both 'mesa' and 'nvidia-utils' as dependencies. Can I put in 'libgl' as a dependency to cover that and will it be enough to satisfy the OpenGL dependency stated by the PCSX2 authors?

lucke · 2007-04-05 14:39:37

Woo. I tried to get PSCX2's linux port working just two hours ago, but couldn't compile. Let me try your PKGBUILD.

-edit-

Does it actually work for you? It segfaults when I change options.

As for opengl, libgl should be okay. As for permission, have you looked at newest news (regarding fakeroot)?.

Segfaults here as well, but I get a segfault when I try to run a game on the binary build as well...

[vEX] · 2007-04-08 12:09:05

Yeah I tried it and it seems somewhat buggy, hopefully the next release will be better. I think if you just accept the settings the first time and then close and restart it you can change the options. There was some post on their forums talking about that issue. As for playing games it seems to be somewhat working, some games I've tried segfaults while others seem to work, try for example Final Fantasy X or Kingdom Hearts, both seemed to work.

And permissions are now working fine with the updated fakeroot package. :-)

Adding libgl as dependency for OpenGL doesn't seem enough to satisfy namcap, but if you think it's okay together with the note in the pcsx2.install file I think I can go ahead and upload it to AUR.

It segfaults here when loading FFX.

_alexmyself · 2007-04-08 13:12:27

[root@alex_portable ~]# yaourt -S libgl
:: libgl-dri conflicts with ati-fglrx-utils. Remove ati-fglrx-utils? [Y/n] n

i have not tested this pkgbuild but remember about libgl conflict with ati-fglrx drivers

Both nvidia-utils and ati-fglrx-utils provide libgl - that's why it makes sense to use it as a dependency for pcsx2.

It works here (some screenshots: http://web.telia.com/~u85920559/pcsx2/), might have something to do with the other segfaults that happens, hopefully the next release will be more stable.

[vEX] · 2007-04-08 17:27:48

Okay, I've uploaded it to AUR, however since I might violate the packaging standards (storing all files in /opt/pcsx2 might be seen as directory tree violation since normally configuration is put in /etc) it might get deleted.
