Okay, this build system seems to be broken on a modern system. Loads of linker errors about multiply defined symbols. At first I thought it was due to the missing include guards in the header files. But the real problem seems to go much deeper.

Right now I cannot justify to spend more time on it. Hence, I will disown the package for now. I have only used this thing years ago to test a hardware RNG that built as a tinkering project and found it really useful. So I think this is a real shame but also there seems to be no upstream development.

I uploaded an update where I at least fixed the upstream URL.

The download has moved: http://webhome.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/dieharder/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tgz

They use some self-signed certificate for HTTPS which curl fails to verify. But downloading via HTTP is fine with the corrected URL.

I will now have a look into this build issue you mentioned.

I overcame the curl certificate problem but I confirm Fifis's problem with the compilation.

make: *** [Makefile:953: libwulf.time] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...

A typical error looks like this: /usr/bin/ld: .libs/libdieharder_la-dab_bytedistrib.o:(.bss+0x28): multiple definition ofV'; .libs/libdieharder_la-bits.o:(.bss+0x28): first defined here`

Finally, curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate. The Sources section is listing the http, and so is the PKGBUILD. We need HTTPS for that. https://webhome.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/dieharder/dieharder-3.31.1.tgz

It looks like it's not compiling anymore :<

Thanks. Just updated it!

Feel free to adopt it.

@fkoehler, sure. I'm happy, if you take this package.

I updated the PKGBUILD (actually there I needed to create two patches as well).

Is there a way to take over this package?

Needs a separate 'package()' function as of pacman 4.1
