Need advice for maintaining my first AUR package (vpinball)

Hi!

I recently took over the broken and orphaned "vpinball" AUR package  (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vpinball) and am now trying to get it back to working condition.
This is my first time maintaining a package so please bear with me.

It seems for vpinball to work properly, various libraries are required, which on their github (https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/bl … /README.md) they clone and build from source with their own external.sh script:
https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/bl … xternal.sh

First thing I tried was simply executing this script inside the PKGBUILD, same as I did when I did the installation manually. But in the PKGBUILD the build of the ffmpeg libraries seems to fail with the following error. This does not happen when I execute the script in a regular shell.

GEN     libswresample/libswresample.ver
STRIP   libavcodec/x86/h26x/h2656_inter.o
STRIP   libavcodec/x86/vp9lpf_16bpp.o
LD      libswscale/libswscale.so.8
LD      libswresample/libswresample.so.5
STRIP   libavcodec/x86/vp9itxfm_16bpp.o
STRIP   libavcodec/x86/vp9lpf.o

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
STRIP   libavcodec/x86/vp9itxfm.o
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

pastebin of the entire ffmpeg build here:
https://pastebin.com/nN8Nvru0

Through trial & error I found out that unsetting the CFLAGS like this made the package build process run via "makepkg" or "pkgctl build" complete successfully:

CFLAGS= platforms/linux-x64/external.sh

(this is also the current commited state of the PKGBUILD)

The build worked, but now the program won't start properly. Unfortunately it doesn't provide much info on why. But I suspect some issue linked to way the build was done without CFLAGS.

This is what the program shows when I try to start it:

It gets stuck there and doesn't boot up the pinball game.

This message does not show up when I start the built version:

2025-05-09 20:25:02.774 INFO  [230368] [Server::TimerElapsed@145] B2S polling status: lamps=0, solenoids=0, giStrings=0, leds=0

I might want to ask the devs if they know why it could be stuck there.

Is there a way to make the PKGBUILD installation as similar as possible to a manual installation ? I feel like the CFLAGS and/or something else are tampering with the build.

Some additional things I need guidance on:
- Should I handle the library building differently than the provided external.sh? I don't think unsetting CFLAGS is a proper solution, right?
- Currently the package installs everything into /opt/vpinball there is most likely a better location for it. I did this because the finished build is the VPinballX_BGFX binary as well as ~20 libraries which the program seems to expect in the directory it is currently in.
- Do you have any general feedback on my PKGBUILD ?

Any feedback helps. Thank you!

Re: Need advice for maintaining my first AUR package (vpinball)

Did you try disabling LTO? I would suggest using the repository supplied versions of libraries rather than source building. If you must build from source include the sources in the sources array.  'gcc' 'pkgconf' 'autoconf' 'automake' 'libtool' 'bison' are all supplied by base-devel and should not be in makedepends.
