The Woes of an Arch Linux User
As an Arch Linux User you get used to pokerth breaking every 4th or 5th time you do a system update. Today I can't even rebuild it from the AUR. I so wish it was in the core repos. I'm running pokerth in a VM using debian at the moment until I can find a solution. I love Arch but I hate the AUR.

You might tryout the flatpak build - it's more update safe:
https://flathub.org/apps/net.pokerth.PokerTH
there also exists a snap build:

Thanks sp0ck, yes I've tried the flatpak build but essentially I need something that can be started from the terminal like thus -
QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.6 pokerth
so that I can get the window which the game runs in to a comfortable size.
Not sure about snaps but my favourite linux content creators tell me to stay away from them! Saying that I assume it will be the same problem.
I shall pursue the AUR maintainer in good time, somebody called blacktav and see if I can get a fix there.

Do that - it's propably a newer protobuf or libboost version after an Arch Update. The client source code needs to be patched a liitle - like the maintainer of the AUR package did here before: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ ... ?h=pokerth
about the flatpak:
check this - https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... k-applicat
.... you can also use flatseal for that: https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

Lastest boost (1.87.0) breaks build due to deprecation removals Need to hold/downgrade boost & boost-libs to 1.86.0 (release 49 pins boost to this version)
Specifically io_service has been deprecated (in src/db/serverdbfactory.h and elsewhere) and possibly other removals; can anyone assist please?
My woes grow deeper. Arch Linux Users are unable to play pokerth at this time.> makepkg --syncdeps --install

Why not using the flatpak option? It's to be built latest stable branch code on 1st install. It does even work with QT_SCALE_FACTOR,
I really do insist to the usage of flathub (or snap release) as current qt5 binary won't be continued and current binary dependencies getting older and older.
