[Qt] Homebrew download doesn't work on Linux

[sergiobenrocha2]

Homebrew download is not working on Linux, it can't find ~/.local/share/ppsspp//ppsspp.dl. It seems PPSSPP is not creating this path at first.

Issue is happening only on Qt, SDL port works fine.

Why is that .local instead of .config? Does SDL use the same path?

SDL saves the game at ~/.config/ppsspp/PSP/GAME/

I can see a ppsspp.dl in Core/Util/GameManager.cpp:

return g_Config.externalDirectory + "/ppsspp.dl";

[sergiobenrocha2]

SDL saves the temporary file to /tmp/ppsspp.dl, while Qt tries to save at ~/.local/share/ppsspp//ppsspp.dl

Changing that line from GameManager.cpp to

return "tmp/ppsspp.dl";

works. Maybe g_Config.externalDirectory is mis-configured in Qt?

It's coming form here:

https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/blob/master/ext/native/base/QtMain.cpp#L440

SDL passes /tmp. This may be an issue for iOS as well @hrydgard. Maybe we should just use memstickDirectory as a writable temp dir?

Hm, yes, that seems wrong... I'll change it to use memstickDirectory as a temporary dir, yeah, that should be safest.

It's working now, thanks. It's saving the tmp file in ~/.config/ppsspp//ppsspp.dl now
