~~https://noping.cc is down/unreachable; could this package be updated to grab it from https://github.com/octo/liboping/releases/tag/liboping-1.10.0 instead?~~ Thank you lilac!

whuups. you are right, that is one of my local patches. I should remember to check that in the future.

sorry for the noise.

There isn't chrpath in PKGBUILD.

This fails to build for me because of the perl update. The chrpath call in package() fails. Here is a patch:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index f4e564b..997b507 100644

+++ b/PKGBUILD

+   chrpath -d "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/perl5/5.38/vendor_perl/auto/Net/Oping/Oping.so"
 }

though I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this, one that is not dependent on the perl version.

@Jack12816 I don't have that issue. It seems that your Perl environment has some setting conflicting. Try devtools to build in a clean environment?

@jomority your patch doesn't work because of tabs. I've fixed it and include it.

Applying the following patch in prepare() (after the ncursesw.patch) fixes the build:
