The lines

# Needed for programs like python-matlabengine which expect MATLAB to be in /usr/local
install -dm755 "$pkgdir/usr/local"
ln -s /$_matlabdir "$pkgdir/usr/local/MATLAB"

violate the Arch packaging guidelines (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Package_etiquette) which says "Packages should never be installed to /usr/local/" and is in fact not needed (at least for python-matlabengine). That page https://github.com/mathworks/matlab-engine-for-python) says "When MATLAB is not installed in the default location, the bin/architecture directory within the MATLAB root directory must be added to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

Seems that resetting the owner of the folder /opt/MATLAB by chown can solve the problem of "Something unexpected occurred" when installing APPs. This is definitely not the best solution, but it works. I'm not sure about that.

@amad3v I moved it because sometimes MATLAB expects it to be installed there, if not you'd have to edit LD_LIBRARY_PATH, as is the case with python-matlabengine. But since it seems impossible to retrieve the license file to install it offline from R2023b+, I'll likely move it to /opt one day.

@Rubo

I think it's better to move the installtion to /opt

Rubo commented on 2023-09-19 12:23 (UTC)

I'd like to support R2023b, but it seems it's not possible to retrieve the license file from this version onwards. If anyone knows how to do it, please message me.

Patch to add some extra instructions and gitignore: https://github.com/joelsgp-pkgbuild/matlab/commit/a38749702ebe7bc90e86271d537d1bae18be94d6.patch

For the R2022b Add-Ons installer to launch you to exclude libtiff.* Also without excluding you get a 'Failed to load bundle #392: /opt/MATLAB/R2022b/bin/glnxa64/libmwrtifc.so' error when trying to use certain addons. Perhaps add this fix to the pkgbuild?

Edit: this may be have been fixed recently in Arch, as after a system update I had to move back libtiff.* to glnxa64 to get MATLAB to run normally.

@alhirzel thanks, I added a simplified version.
