After installing this packet, I have problems listing runtimes and executing applications with the loader because it doesn't find the JSON config file for loading the runtime.

As a usability enhancement, this package could provide the active_runtime.json (if it doesn't exist yet). In the Monado Getting Started guide, it mentions making a symlink to /usr/share/openxr/1/openxr_monado.json from /etc/xdg/openxr/1/active_runtime.json (according to source code it also looks for /etc/openxr/1/active_runtime.json).

@sigmike This is happening lately with patches downloaded from gitlab. Checksums updated.

The validity check fails on the patch files:

==> Validating source files with sha256sums...
    monado-v21.0.0.tar.bz2 ... Passed
    010-monado-meson-0.61.0-fix.patch ... FAILED
    020-monado-gcc-10-fix-part001.patch ... FAILED
    030-monado-gcc-10-fix-part002.patch ... FAILED
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
 -> error making: monado

The patch files look fine and the build works when the checksums are updated.

oh awesome! I thought for sure you had gotten busy with something else. I wouldn't blame you if you did -- it's happened to me :P

@ColdIce @alexandria I have pushed build fixes. The package is now building fine for me with latest meson and gcc. Thank you for the reports and sorry for the delay.

Build fails when pkgconfig fails to find wayland-protocols. Recommend adding as dependency (package name is same as pkgconfig naming).

Compilation then fails yet again:

still not quite sure what to do about this :P I believe ColdIce was correct, but the patch still hasn't been applied by the maintainer, and it's already been merged upstream so it's probably best to just try the monado-git variant and hope it compiles better.
