Hi, I have adopted the package and updated it. Here are some notifications, please read them before installing:

  1. Please install the package manually using makepkg and pacman -U avoiding using package manager like yay
  2. Please place your cplex_studio2211.linux_x86_64.bin (downloading from official website IBM CPLEX) into the same directory as PKGBUILD before running makepkg
  3. The package only offer python bindings for 3.8, 3.9, 3.10. If you want to find the support from latest community, please see python-cplex and python-docplex in AUR.
  4. For cpp compilation, flags are needed: -lconcert -lilocplex -lcplex -lm -lpthread -ldl

I can look into adding OPLIDE with the next CPLEX release where I have to make PKGBUILD changes anyway (as I'm expecting Python 3.7 support with that). While your approach does reliably install everyting, I'd rather not use /opt with this package.

After installing this package, I noticed that it does a "reduced" install, e.g. it does not install OPLIDE which is what I am interested in.

I decided to try to go for a more as-is install and changed all the copy commands in package() to:

mkdir -p "$pkgdir/opt/ibm/ILOG/CPLEX"
cp -R "." "$pkgdir/opt/ibm/ILOG/CPLEX/"

Except a few warnings, so far it seems to work, e.g. OPLIDE launches. I haven't had a chance to play too much with it yet, I will update if I have some improvement.

EDIT: If anyone is interested, this is the PKGBUILD I ended up using in the end to to get an unmodified, no warnings, install: https://pastebin.com/LsfDgsSp

EDIT: With /usr/bin shortcuts for some tools to avoid having to type: https://pastebin.com/TTffpjxK

Hello Luiz0tavio, the cplex installer .bin file is not available for download without logging in on the IBM website. As the PKGBUILD says: "You need to manually download the IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio installer and place it into the same directory as this PKGBUILD, before you proceed."

Ran into a problem trying to

$ makepkg -sri
