I have been unable to get hardware based opengl working since r2014b and the switch to HG2. This has slowed me down from updated the PKGBUILD. I have tried it on different hardware, so I think it is either a missing package or a configuration issue. Can anyone get $ matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -r "opengl info; exit" | grep Software to output false with r2014b or newer?

@ido I am happy to help out again. I never really intended to let it slip as bad as I did. I have never really been happy with the PKGBUILD and it is not the one I use. I think I tried to make it do too much in an attempt to avoid making multiple packages. I propose we simplify the PKGBUILD to only handle the current release and then create packages like matlab-r2015b, matlab-r2015a, ... matlab-r2010b for people who want older versions. This is in fact how I actually manage my installations of MATLAB so it would be simpler for me.

@SibrenVasse I can build an uncompressed package with only a base MATLAB installation in about 10 minutes on my laptop. Adding toolboxes adds time. It takes me a couple of hours to build and compress the package with all the MATLAB toolboxes. The final package can be upwards of 5 GB.

@flying-sheep the PKGBUILD explains that you will need both the software (an iso file) and a file installation key (a fik file) to build the package. To run MATLAB you will also need a license file (a lic file). Some people have reported that the license file is also required to create the package for network licenses. Do you have a copy of the software, a file installation key and the license?

As mentioned in the previous comment, this package should depend on ncurses5-compat-libs.

There is a discussion on the bbs: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1562934 It is possible, that even the old Matlab versions will not run anymore, because of a soname bump in ncurses.

I tested the pkgbuild against R2015b and it installs fine. (git patch - http://pastebin.com/8JtF3Z9y) However, while building the package it takes a very, very long time 'Removing static library files'. Am I doing something wrong? (http://pastebin.com/iwD8GZgt)

This package needs co-maintainers as I'm not able to test against R2015b since I do not own it. If you own R2015b and are willing to give it a try please get in touch.

sadly i can’t just add R2015b: your pkgbuild expects a license.txt which isn’t there
