You can build the last version of Beyond Compare v4 I packaged (4.4.7.28397) by doing this:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/bcompare.git/
cd bcompare
git checkout dcf8794f1301c9213558b2583a956c04cf2a2135
makepkg -crs

Since you have a license for v4, you might be interested in looking at the upgrade policy at https://www.scootersoftware.com/kb/upgradepolicy .

I hope it helps!

@twopumpchump: This package is commercial, what means that if you want to run it you need key code. The usual way to get key code is to buy it. Thus, what you get is the expected behaviour.

When i try to open I get error "the trial information is missing or corrupt" and cannot open program unless i buy it...anybody else?

@Petrovo: I have included your tip. So, now deb2targz is no longer needed as make dependency. Thanks. @Everyone else: For those having the version 3.3.3 already installed, there is no need to rebuild the package again as it's equivalent at binary level. Best regards.

deb2targz is out see. http://www.miketaylor.org.uk/tech/deb/ My inspiration with ar from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37421 Notice: This is my first attempt with PKGBUILD.

All architectures are now supported. For x86_64 architectures some lib32 packages are required. If you find anything that can be improved, please, do not hesitate to let me know. Enjoy!

Hi, I'll try to do my best at the beginning of the next week. It turns out impossible for me to do anything at all sooner. Regards.

Forgot to say "build bcompare for x86_64".

I was able to build bcompare using the following changes (inspired from http://www.scootersoftware.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=5314): --- PKGBUILD 2011-08-25 13:26:21.495281647 -0400 +++ bcompare_aur_PKGBUILD 2011-08-25 13:19:26.899691256 -0400 @@ -5,13 +5,13 @@ pkgdesc="Beyond Compare 3: Compare, sync, and merge files and folders" pkgrel=1 # Only i686 architecture supported so far :-( -#arch=(i686 x86_64) -arch=(i686) +arch=(i686 x86_64) +#arch=(i686) url="http://www.scootersoftware.com/index.php" license=(GPL3) groups=('utility') -makedepends=() -depends=() +makedepends=( 'lib32-qt' 'lib32-qt3' 'sh') +depends=('sh') options=() source=(http://www.scootersoftware.com/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz) sha256sums=('6243016e888dca46fd8195f90c45d106b0ce5f8b0490ffc3e178890ac60b92fb')
