E-UAE multilib package for ArchLinux

[zosodk69]

If there are any archlinux users out there, I've created a multilib version of E-UAE.  I was rather tired of not having access to JIT.

Nice!  Always hated trying to get euae running under Arch.

For sure!  Up until now I've always kept a separate 32bit chroot with parallel installs of gcc, alsa, sdl, and such, just to compile and run e-uae.  Anyway, if it saves one other person the hassle then it was worth it.

Now if only we could get the newer puae working under Arch!

Yeah, yeah, I know, never satisfied...

Actually the last few times I tried to compile it, it wouldn't finish, then again, it's the git version that is in the AUR right now, and it's still being developed (Qt interface is looking quite nice).

I'm not sure why puae wouldn't compile for you but if you'll look at my PKGBUILD you'll notice:

Code: [Select]

export MAKEFLAGS="-j1"I cannot get any uae to compile in multiple threads.  I'll probably make a PKGBUILD for bin32-puae in the near future.

Just tried the puae-git PKGBUILD and it died here;

Code: [Select]

So I'm guessing that the code is just currently in a broken state, sometimes it compiles, other days not so much.  We'd probably need to get a tarball of a stable release.

OK so it appears the build arguments in the PKGBUILD for puae-git don't work any more.  I've made a multilib version which seems to compile with the qt front end.  I've not actually used puae so who knows how well this works:

But as I said, the Qt interface is still rather non-functional.  A lot of the dialogs aren't working yet, and it's currently impossible to choose a rom file or anything else.

A long time ago, when puae first hit the scene, I remember being able to configure through only uaerc or command line.  I suspect that if you're going to use this that's what you'll have to do.
