00:00what's up everyone if I try to install a dosbox X which is an improved version
00:05of dosbox on Arch Linux from the AUR I get the error that I'm gonna show you
00:13now which proves that it fails to compile since it's compiling from source
00:19as you can see the package failed to compile such thing often happens
00:36especially with the source based packages one of the solutions may be changing the
00:45package build script before installing it and it will help compile successfully
00:51however it may not be possible and may not solve the problem another another
00:56possible solution is to find the package with the suffix bin at the end in our
01:03case it's yay-s dosbox-x-bin if I'm not mistaken in my case I cannot find it with
01:14this name I believe I looked for it in aur.archlinux.org looking for in the place
01:21where you look for the packages I still cannot find it I looked for dosbox-x
01:29and the chaotic AUR which is similar repository to AUR but with less packages
01:36the different thing between the packages and the AUR and the packages in the chaotic
01:41AUR are mostly compiled and in the form of binary packages they can simply be
01:50installed right away to have the chaotic AUR installed on your system you need to
01:59run a few commands as you're gonna see like this one
02:14like this password
02:17okay second command is this one simply clicking it copies it into your clipboard
02:37okay and then this command
02:47here is the result of looking for dosbox-x I see no dosbox-x- bin
03:09here press y and enter
03:17y again and enter
03:26and then
03:28we should go to the next command which should be
03:31this one
03:37yeah no this one
03:40that's the command
03:47and then we should go to a file
03:56the file of pacman the main file of the configurations and slash etc
04:01slash pacman dot conf
04:05and we append
04:06this
04:09and paste it
04:14no
04:26let's put it at the end
04:27like this
04:33paste here
04:34save and exit
04:36we are recommended to update
04:39the repositories
04:41like this
04:50all right
04:51now if we try to install
04:53using the native method without the need for any
04:56a ur helper nor a ur manual method

05:03we should succeed with it
05:10if we try to run dosbox
