Arch Linux User Repository

Ok, here we go then. This repo is now based on my fork and my fixes. And after having trouble with boost libraries I just reworked all parts relying on boost to modern C++. Current status is "works for me" but it might work for you too

As I really am short on time I quickly retagged the develop branch to v1.0.1 (I have introduced versioning) and made a PKGBUILD for testing it installed from a package. PKGBUILD here: https://pastebin.com/YPbFwm0M If this packaged version works for me (tm) over a couple of days I will switch repo source in this AUR package and update in AUR

(I can not publish it right off without having tested it packaged first, but I also wanted all interested people to be able to test it right away)

@mangaman For the version you have compiled from git have you checked the arch wiki? The syntax is all there, you can either cat text files or pipe individual commands.

I have been really excited to try and get this working. I have a G13 and it is very hard to try playing games without it anymore. I just switched to Linux as my gaming platform. I have used Linux a little in the past, but not as a daily driver.

Anyways, back to the subject. I wanted to show my interest in this project and ask for some help. I have tried to install this package using pamac-manager and pacman on Manjaro and I get the same error. The error is :

==> Starting prepare()... ==> Modifying udev 91-g13.rules ... ==> Starting pkgver()... fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything. ==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, forward slashes, hyphens or whitespace. ==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version: ==> Trying to read git version ... ==> Git version failed, using date of last commit ... 20160120

I have the full output at https://forum.manjaro.org/t/logitech-g13-keyboard-help/115313 . I did try building it from source and got it to display the "Linux Inside" stuff but it still doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for the help in advance.

@purpuru I have been using my rewritten version for a while, thought it best to try it for a while before going further after a the rather big changes I did. I will take another look at it soon now that I know someone else but me is using it :)

Any chance of updating this? I built it from source (from your repo) and it works fine but it would be nice to have it through pacaur.

I actually refactored the source and replaced everything depending on boost in the upstream source. I got it working without boost but after more refactoring I have a linking problem that I will fix when I get a little more time (hopefully in a couple of weeks). If someone wants to play around and test my last should-be-stable it is at https://github.com/khampf/g13

Adding CXXFLAGS=-ggdb before the make call in PKGBUILD also worked for me to stop the segfault.

Edit PKGBUILD to use https://github.com/dhardy/g13. Worked 100% for me

The package is also segfaulting for me, but as krafgor said, if you use the --log_level switch with those values: "warning", ""fatal" and "error", the executable doesn't segfault anymore. It somehow seems to be link with the output that the program produces depending on that log_level switch. I'm not sure how I could debug this further
