If anyone wants to take over this package (or become co-maintainer) I'll gladly give it to you.

These bugs can be easily fixed:

echo "MAYA_DISABLE_CIP=1" >> ~/maya/2017/Maya.env # w/o it maya segfaults
echo "LC_ALL=C" >> ~/maya/2017/Maya.env # w/o it maya gives singular matrix error

Also you need this to prevent constant Helvetica package errors:
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/
xset fp rehash

After that, Bifrost will be telling about missing lib:
// Error: line 1: Unable to dynamically load : /usr/autodesk/maya2017/plug-ins/bifrost/plug-ins/bifrostshellnode.so
libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory //
// Error: line 1: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (bifrostshellnode) //

To fix that, install aur/libtinfo (symlink package to ncurses) and after that:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.6 /usr/autodesk/maya2017/lib/libtinfo.so.5

@oljik: Just upload the pkgbuild to pastebin and I'll have a look at it. If it's good (and working), I can replace it and give you co-maintainer rights.

@oljik Hey, i would really love to get your PKGBUILD for Maya. Would be nice if you could upload it here on AUR.

I have built my own PKGBUILD 2 years ago, by reading houdini and many PKGBUILDs.
However, I didn't have time to upload it. Then I went to windows. Now I am back and will upload them soon. You can delete this package. I have better packaged one. It can be used for all maya version to install seperately and Adlmapps, FlexnetServer/Client have seperate pkgbuild with systemd service files for selective install.
I didn't add maya-setup like you. Does someone need it? I think adlmapps is working fine for registration.

yup, @z3ntu, i put in my licence and it still gives me maya: Autodesk Maya 2017Licensing ErrorA licensing error occurred that Autodesk systems were not able to handle for you. Please contact Autodesk Customer Support for help in resolving this error.GetFeatureAuthorizationStatus 1 (Failure)

@Shadowlabs: So you ran the installer first (sudo /opt/maya-setup/setup) and entered your license there? I can't really help you with the issue as I have problems with the software myself but I took over maintainer status as I updated the application to a newer version.

@z3ntu it still isnt verified despite me putting my licence in the installer... what does it say when it works for you? because if i launch it from terminal i get [lotus@Lotus-Hackintosh ~]$ maya2017
maya: Autodesk Maya 2017Licensing ErrorA licensing error occurred that Autodesk systems were not able to handle for you. Please contact Autodesk Customer Support for help in resolving this error.GetFeatureAuthorizationStatus 1 (Failure)

@Shadowlabs: The /opt/maya-setup/setup application will show you "installation failed" but this error is expected (as the setup application activates maya so you can use it normally)

If anyone wants to take over this package (or become co-maintainer) I'll gladly give it to you.

i Cant seem to install the package, I'm stuck at the "Can not launch RPM Executable" error, im pretty new to this, how can i fix it?

The PKGBUILD needs QT4 added as a dependency, also for those of you who get an error like this while running the setup:
X Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) 10
Extension: 130 (MIT-SHM)
Minor opcode: 1 (X_ShmAttach)
Resource id: 0x145

You can run the setup like this to fix it:
sudo QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 /opt/maya-setup/setup
