In case it helps for the future, the easiest way to build this package without using an AUR helper is:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/ib-tws.git
cd ib-tws
makepkg -rs

Doesn't work with yay -Syyu for some reason, but works for your command line codes.

@agamemnon, can you explain what you mean? It works for me:

[bpa@bpanb ~]$packer-aur -G ib-tws
[bpa@bpanb ~]$cd ib-tws/
[bpa@bpanb ib-tws]$makepkg -rs

Awesome, thank you @benalexau :)

benalexau commented on 2020-12-15 23:34 (UTC)

Thanks @cwaffles. I made this change (to both the TWS and IB Gateway configuration files) and also updated it more generally to reflect the settings in IB's present tws.vmoptions.

esemeniuc commented on 2020-12-15 17:30 (UTC)

In iw-tws.conf, I would suggest setting the following:

JAVA_XMX="-Xmx4G"
JAVA_UI_FLAGS="-Dswing.aatext=TRUE -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on"
  1. Increasing the heap size prevents the app from hanging at 100% cpu utilization
  2. Enable anti-aliasing/font smoothing. This makes the UI much more legible.
