There is a more up to date fork  ↗here.

But I do not know how to build it.

There is some makefiles/CMakeLists.txt, I can run cmake configuration on it (cmake -S makefiles), but I cannot get any makefile created nor anything building. I also tried copying the makefiles/CMakeLists.txt into src/ and running cmake within there.

A Makefile is not there anymore.

If anyone knows how to build it, please tell. I do not know how to manually invoke the compilers to combine parts of a project if more than one source file is involved.

@sekret, 2: I just wanted to mark all changes which differ from upstream into the PKGVER, otherwise one would assume that "clean" upstream version is used. So I just take something which quite catchingly describes the patch.

@sekret: Thank you for pointing that out. Fixed.

The package doesn't build here... ==> Starting prepare()... Applying patch '/build/bdelta-git/src/fefefilesize.patch' ... patching file src/bdelta.cpp patching file src/bpatch.cpp patching file src/file.h ==> Starting pkgver()... ==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, hyphens or whitespace. ==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: 0.3.1-2-g4782c58.d20160919.rg4782c58.fefefilesize Your pkgver() is really ... long! And still it doesn't seem to work right. What about just using git describe | sed -r 's/^v//;s/([^-]*-g)/r\1/;s/-/./g' This produces 0.3.1.r2.g4782c58 which looks absolutely fine to me. No need to include the fact that Fefe provided a patch! Although he used his name in the patch ... Einfach ein bisschen großes Ego! ;-)
