Arch Linux User Repository

Julia is not simple to compile, the language is nice but build failures are not rare, eg https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/40585

FYI for anyone with this issue, the prebuilt binaries for Linux x86 and aarch64 work fine - available at https://julialang.org/downloads/ and https://julialang.org/downloads/nightlies/

I can confirm this build error:

There seems to be a dependency on 7z, as the build is failing with following error for me:

caused by: 7z binary not found

Without the patch below, build+installation fails on my machine because the stringreplace binary was not found.

@fusion809: Every little thing helps. Thank you for your offer :) I will add you as a co-maintainer.

@TrialInError I'd be happy to be a co-maintainer. Although, I will admit, I too have my limits in what I can fix. But I can at least fix the odd little things I know how to fix.

Build currently fails as docs aren't built but package_julia-git-docs() tries to install them anyway. To fix this, replace lines 68 to 70 of the PKGBUILD with: make.

Could you change to source from git to https to let firewall happier? That's
