Alternatively gatling can be built with polarssl (README.polarssl)
or without tsl support

zlib is needed in each case.

To successfully build gatling, you have either link everything against glibc or dietlibc.

To link everything against glibc:
- replace in the PKGBUILD of libowfat the 'make' section:
make DIET=

To link everything against dietlibc:
- use the FAQ[1] how to build openssl and copy it to /opt/diet/$ARCH-lib/
- modify the PKGBUILD of zlib:
1. modify the 'configure' section:
CC="/opt/diet/bin/diet gcc -nostdinc" ./configure --prefix=/opt/diet --static
2. modify the 'make install' section:
make install PREFIX=/opt/diet DESTDIR=${pkgdir}

Just for the information to users of archlinuxfr:
I had problems building gatling with libowfat from archlinuxfr (undefined reference to a standard function(?)).
With libowfat from AUR it worked fine.

Btw: Thank you for awesomely maintaining this package. :)

If you get an error on compiling ("collect2: ld returned 1 exit status") update libowfat first.

It did not work for me at some point. Now it does, so I changed the PKGBUILD(s) to compile with dietlibc.

Why are you compiling gatling and libowfat without dietlibc?

You wanted to say something like "Please include the documentation"?
That's okay; README files included in 0.12-2.

You need to include the documentation!
README.php etc.
