Arch Linux User Repository

Hi Alchitry, thanks for the update. For me, the md5sum for the licence was different, beside that I've taken your changes. Seeing that I don't personally use this package anymore, if you're interested in taking over the package, please let me know :)

Here's my updated version for the latest driver 1.1.0

# Maintainer: mox <mox at uni-hd de>
# Based on libftd2xx maintained by Chris <alostengineer at narmos org> et al.
pkgname=libftd3xx
pkgver=1.1.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Library that allows a direct access to a FTDI USB3.0 chip (FT60x) based device. Proprietary FTDI drivers BETA."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://www.ftdichip.com/"
license=('custom')
depends=('glibc' 'libusb>=1.0.8')

Heres a working pkgbuild it works for https://github.com/ChrisMalnick/xx3dsfml

@mox - libusbx (a dependency) is no longer available in either the AUR or core repositories.
