Clean install; all dependencies installed by hand with makepkg.

I just re-run with LANG=C.

@hypothermic I think you also need to add x64 to the filename in build()

Microchip changed the download URLs for version 4.xx onwards.

Here is a patch for version 4.21, the latest at the time of writing:

https://gist.github.com/hypothermic/a2f3674bae5038e86a59793c3dc73163

Changes by @lightspot21 incorporated

@greyltc @mickael9 @thodnev newest version available is 3.01. Patch for updating PKGBUILD:

https://gist.github.com/lightspot21/07f172dd4f93632a65b5a006d54d1d1b

Bumps version, adds rsync as makedep and changes to the more secure SHA256 hash provided by Microchip.

rsync is currently missing as a makedepend.

The compiler is broken for ATSAME54N20A. Compiling anything with -mprocessor=ATSAME54N20A leads to the following error:

c1: error: target CPU does not support ARM mode
/opt/microchip/xc32/v2.50/bin/bin/../../lib/gcc/pic32c/6.2.1/../../../../bin/bin/pic32c-ld: cannot open linker script file ATSAME54N20A.ld.0000fdc7.00: No such file or directory

EDIT: I got it working by disabling the license check workaround, diff for that & the update to v2.50:

I wonder when 2.40-2 is gonna come out that makes the below changes. Ho-hmm.

The PKGBUILD posted by ashleyr works a treat. just upgraded to 2.41.

Issue was fixed using the modifed PKGBUILD https://pastebin.com/3L9NZDun also suggest that the comment in bitrock-unpacker.tcl be updated to remove the 32 bit notes.

Needed to uninstall lib32-tclkit, I uninstalled sdx as well to allow this.

Then changed the dependencies for x86_64 to be tclkit and rebuilt the package and it worked.

EDIT: can probably remove the 32 bit support from the PKGBUILD now that it is 64 bit only.

Microchip are shipping 64 bit executables as of 2.40 it seems. 2.30 was still a 32 bit executable.

Having trouble extractig the v2.40-1 version. I get the following error:

==> Starting build()...
  -> Unpacking files from installer

    (file "./bitrock-unpacker.tcl" line 26)

However the previous 2.10-1 build works fine (re-ran it to verify).

After some digging, the download is now an ELF64 bit binary, the previous version was an ELF32.
