Arch Linux User Repository

The compilation failed because distutils was not installed. Therefore I added this to the dependencies:

    distutils are needed

Package is broken at the specific commit in the pkgbuild.

It's building correctly at head just remove the #commit from the source url.

This package currently builds and attempts to install both libfive-git and libfive-git-debug, which conflict with each other?

Don't think guile2 is supported any longer.

This is how i forced guile3:

It would be nice to also add the "bind" folder to the install, otherwise libfive-guile (libfive scheme bindings) can't be really used, if I correctly understand how things work (following these instructions: https://j.agrue.info/libfive.html)

libfive does now include a commandline interface to convert .io files to .stl files. (See https://github.com/libfive/libfive/issues/194) It does currently not run correctly on Arch Linux, but I'll file a pull request for it shortly. (https://github.com/libfive/libfive/issues/235)

The additional bin file should be installed in /usr/bin as libfive-export-meshes in my opinion.
