Ok, then I don't think there's anything wrong with the PKGBUILD.
If you untar your package file (the one you would install using pacman -U) into a new directory, are there still empty files?
You probably already checked these, but just in case:
Are you low on hard disk space?
If you haven't already, you could try rebooting, rebuilding, and reinstalling the package.

No, those script files are normal. Maybe the installer is unable to detect the architecture in the makepkg environment?
kjslag commented on 2015-04-05 21:12 (UTC)
That's strange. Are the files in your build directory
pkg/mathematica/opt/Mathematica/Executables/
also empty?
vanillacoffee commented on 2015-04-05 21:00 (UTC)
The Mathematica 10.1 installer does not work quite right under the control of makepkg on my system. Most files are installed correctly, but several are installed as empty files, most importantly the actual executables in /opt/Mathematica/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries. This does not happen if I run the installer outside of makepkg (using the same arguments).
The PKGBUILD worked fine for previous releases.
Any ideas?

A word of caution: after upgrading to 10.0.2 the fonts looked terrible.
However, I had several font packages installed (freetype2-infinality, fontconfig-infinality, ttf-ms-win8).
Eventually, I found that I could solve it in one of two ways:
A) either uninstalling fontconfig-infinality, which was somehow doing a bad font substitution,
B) or uninstalling ttf-ms-win8, which was providing a font that fontconfig-infinality could not substitute.
The result of A) and B) is different, but in any case the font improves a lot.
For the moment I'm sticking with A).

Updated to 10.0.2. This release fixed the font issues that I was having :)

# To build this package you need to place the mathematica-installer into your startdir
# If you don't own the installer you can download a trial version at http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/trial

mathematicaandmathematica-lighthave been updated to 14.1. Mathematica is being rebranded to WolframApp or just Wolfram. Because of that, you might have to update your current configuration according to Upgrading from Mathematica to Wolfram:$UserBaseDirectoryis now~/.Wolfram(you may need tomv ~/.Mathematica ~/.Wolfram)MATHINITis nowWOLFRAMNB_INIT(for additional arguments to Wolfram)MATHEMATICA_BASEis nowWOLFRAM_BASE(for custom$BaseDirectory)MATHEMATICA_USERBASEis nowWOLFRAM_USERBASE(for custom$UserBaseDirectory)JP-Ellis commented on 2022-10-08 00:22 (UTC) (edited on 2023-08-19 12:56 (UTC) by JP-Ellis)
Wolfram offers two bundles for Mathematica: one with offline docs included, and one which relies on online docs. I have created corresponding version of the Mathematica package in the AUR:
mathematica: As this package has historically always included offline docs, it will continue to do so now. As of 13.1.0, the package takes up around 14.1GiB with all documentation.mathematica-light: For those people who want a small package and/or want to use online docs, I have created this package which uses Wolfram's online-docs bundling of Mathematica. As of 13.3, the light version takes up around 7.2GiB.
