Description Zombie Ryushu 2020-10-11 01:54:39 CEST
I need Emulation Station 2.9.0 Packaged for Mageia. I have a successful build of this, but it builds it's own version of pugixml. It may need to be patched as it throws the following error when loaded against system pugixml

emulationstation: /home/masterz/testing/BUILD/EmulationStation-2.9.0/es-core/src/resources/Font.cpp:21: Font::FontFace::FontFace(ResourceData&&, int): Assertion `!err' failed.

Mageia 7.
"I need"? Perhaps 'I would like.'
Since you have got so far on a DIY basis, "it builds it's own version of pugixml", I wondered whether you could make that a static library integral with the application; just a thought.

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might, if there are no license or other legal issues, want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You Zombie Ryushu might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

I have a SPEC File for it stored in Rosa's build cluster.

https://abf.rosalinux.ru/zombie/EmulationStation/blob/master/EmulationStation.spec

But this will only run in it's build directory
Comment 3 Zombie Ryushu 2020-10-14 09:34:15 CEST
The crash is due to the fact resources are not installed in
 /usr/share/emulationstation/resources
Comment 4 Zombie Ryushu 2021-01-16 11:45:06 CET
This Ppackage has been drastically improved by Rosa.

https://abf.rosalinux.ru/import/emulationstation

The application is now much more stable, and conforms to the structure of /usr/share much better
