Hi all, I create a repo in Github. If interested, one could use this PKGBUILD for building a package. I remove all dependencies, install all products available by default, and no desktop entry is provided. I gonna add a desktop entry to wiki.

@gunjah post a link here to a pastebin (or similar) of your 2018a PKGBUILD and I'll have a look at getting it in here

@gunjah, you can just copy/paste it here or create your own 2018a specific aur package.

Please update to 2018a

I updated the PKGBUILD for 2018a. How can I upload it?

Hello, I write a PKGBUILD based on this one.

Changes:

  • default installation folder: /opt/matlab
  • license.dat is installed in /opt/matlab/licenses. I'm sure how matlab activing, but just copying license.dat to /etc/matlab/licenses/, and create a soft link from /opt/matlab/licenses to /etc/matlab/licenses/ not work for me.
  • matlab.tar is created by just copying all file in matlab iso file to folder matlab, and tar cvf matlab.tar matlab

However, I just test with _networkinstall=true, and everything works fine. I'm not sure if other activating method would work.

@daniel_shub Hi, it seems that the package don't install the license.dat when _networkinstall=true. It just create a soft link to /etc/matlab/licenses/, but /etc/matlab/licenses/ is not created, license.dat is not installed either. So after installation, one still need to activate matlab.

As for the ISO file, only license Administrator could download the ISO file. I just download it from school website (our school buy licenses). Or one could always down the ISO in some other way. As long as one has the proper license, I think it's OK to do that.

@hottea the tarball is a pain. When I first packaged things, TMW was making getting the ISO file difficult, but you could download zip files of everything you needed from your TMW account. Then they changed the installer so that you could only download the files from the installer. Getting the files into a place that makepkg can find them is a moving target. I no longer have access to new versions of MATLAB and am no longer sure what the easiest or best thing to do it. If I had access to ISO files I would probably just use the ISO and add a checksum.

I used /opt/tmw/matlab based on Adobe Reader (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/acroread/) which puts the package in /opt/Adobe/Reader9 and Google Earth (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/google-earth/) which puts the package in /opt/google/earth/free/. I think the FHS requirement for subdirectories to be the LANANA names only came about recently, maybe it is time to just use /opt/matlab.

It seems that the matlab.tar contains all file in the matlab iso, I think it would be better if it one could create a matlab folder, and copy files in matlab iso to the matlab folder, and then create a tarball by tar cvf matlab.tar matlab/. Also why the installation dir is /opt/tmw/matlab? It's a little weird.

@t4mmi In package function, the MATLAB installer output is redirected to /dev/null, you might wanna change it and see the log. In fact, I think it MathWorks's mistake that matlab installer and some other scripts are without x permission. Just chmod +x -R matlab before create matlab.tar might fix it.
