@simonfxr Actually, I switched to the cling package which is needed for xeus-cling.

@lahwaacz: Thank you for the patched build, I pushed your changes. Since I'm not really using cling anymore, maybe you wan't to take over maintainance?

The URLs in source need to be updated, see https://github.com/root-project/cling/issues/506#issuecomment-1615965822

I also made other changes to make it work:

'jupiter-notebook a dependency? Isn't that a python dev environment? python too? I;m confused...

Hello,

jupyter has been replaced by jupyter-notebook and hence the package does not build.

I guess that simply changing depends and makedepends accordingly would do it.

@tauroid Thanks, fixed. I wonder why cling needs the NVPTX target.

CMake Error at tools/cling/CMakeLists.txt:178 (message):
  NVPTX backend is not activated

  Please enable it via -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="host;NVPTX"

changing the relevant line (44) in PKGBUILD yields working install for me

-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="host" \

to

-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="host;NVPTX" \
