Well, since nobody else stepped up, I will adopt this. I'll start updating this this weekend. Thanks @cippciaong for your previous maintenance.

One issue is that the current git needs a static libbpf.a, while Arch only packages a shared library currently. I will have to think about how to solve that.

EDIT: I have now updated the package. For now this depends on libbpf-git to work around the missing static library in the official package.

Thanks for the report VorpalWay.

I'm not even sure the dependencies and build scripts are still up to date since I don't use this package anymore. I will disown it so that someone else can step up as maintainer and take proper care of it.

The URL is outdated, it is https://github.com/bpftrace/bpftrace nowadays.

It looks like bpftrace needs gtest as a make dependency

Hi! Thanks for the package.

The bpftrace --info show the following:

  libbpf btf dump: no
  libbpf btf dump type decl: no
  btf (depends on Build:libbpf): no

I suggest add libbpf as a dependency and recompile it with that.

Hi, thanks for maintaining this package. The latest version appears to require asciidoctor, here is a patch for PKGBUILD which rectifies that:

@ludat: updated, thanks :)

bpftrace now needs cereal to build.

Cross-posting from the non-git package (which doesn't compile for me atm):

This PKGBUILD needs to disable stripping of the built bpftrace binary.

Because stripping breaks BEGIN/END probes, testcase:

sudo bpftrace -e 'BEGIN { @++ }'
Attaching 1 probe...
Could not resolve symbol: /proc/self/exe:BEGIN_trigger

@Jonhoo: thanks for reporting, I can reproduce the issue also for the non -git version of bpftrace but I'm not quite sure what is causing it. My guess is that it might be related to some changes in recent versions of kernel/llvm/bcc since at least the latest release, used to build correctly when I created the PKGBUILD. I will report the issue upstream and see if they can help.

@k3a: Which versions of linux/llvm/bcc do you have on your system? Did you install libbpf as well?
