Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/issues/659

I am compiling source using g++-13 on Linux Mint and it's failing on:
[ 81%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/shadps4.dir/src/core/file_format/pkg.cpp.o

Have had the same problem for about a month, so it's likely something on my end
(perhaps older unsupported dependencies since it's Mint)
My buddy who is on Arch with g++-13 has never had a problem.
Here is a log.

shadps4build.log

EDIT: I created a patched fork that works out of the box for Linux Mint 22 users.
Link: https://github.com/GHFear/shadPS4/tree/main

I had to patch error.h and install more dependencies than for most Linux distributions, but it works with a 1-click build now. Just run setup.sh and watch it build. :)
Hope this can be of help to people.

You are using GCC 11.4.0 at one point. Your aliases are not used by cmake.

Thank you. I totally missed that.
I now set the compilers inside cmakelists.txt using these commands:

set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "/usr/bin/gcc-13")
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "/usr/bin/g++-13")

and it now gets to 89% but errors at this location:

shadps4build.log

EDIT 1:
It's failing when building the avplayer library. (perhaps somebody reading this has had the same experience?)
I could probably go in and fix the errors myself, but I don't really want to edit the source code to make it compile.
At least not for the first compile.
I want to be able to start from the same source and work from there.

EDIT 2:
I fixed it by changing the definition of av_err2string(int errnum);
Write this code in the externals/ffmpeg-core/include/libavutil/error.hfile and rebuild project.

// Fix the av_err2str errors.
#ifdef av_err2str
#undef av_err2str
#include <string>
av_always_inline std::string av_err2string(int errnum) {
    char str[AV_ERROR_MAX_STRING_SIZE];
    return av_make_error_string(str, AV_ERROR_MAX_STRING_SIZE, errnum);
}
#define av_err2str(err) av_err2string(err).c_str()
#endif  // av_err2str

My cmake project now builds to 100%.

EDIT 3:
If you want to actually run ShadPS4 on Linux Mint, you need to upgrade to Mint 22 to get the proper dependencies (glibc version > 2.38) from Ubuntu.
I just tried it and that did the trick.

EDIT 4: I created a patched fork that works out of the box for Linux Mint 22 users.
Link: https://github.com/GHFear/shadPS4/tree/main

It's my first time building something of this scale with cmake on Linux.
Only ever used it for my own projects where I know exactly what's needed to make it build.
So this is quite a different experience.
