Hello sl1pkn07,

Would you consider this patch? https:// makes more credibility, and not just relying on the chksum in the PKGBUILD

Thank you,

Gábor

mostly because I couldn't get the 0.5.2 package to build for w/e reason, I updated the PKGBUILD for the v0.6.0 released a few months ago. This included a change of the build system to cmake:

Hello, Sorry for the delay. As I am leaving ArchLinux, feel free to adopt this package ;) Best Regards.

PKGBUILD updated as described by DarkElf for ARM support

I found a workaround. The problem is related the .build files for arm architecture. I think that the source files are made with the assumption that if someone wants to compile for arm architecture he is cross-compiling (using for example an x86 machine) and so make serches for the cross-compiler (arm-none-linux-gnueabi). If I modify the .build files everything works fine so I modified the PKGBUILD in this way http://paste2.org/C4Zt6Y1U deleting the "arm-none-linux-gnueabi-" from the .build files so the standard compiler is used. I don't know if it is the best way to solve the problem (maybe through a patch file is better???..or in some other way) but it works. I have tested also for mkclean and it works for that package too.

Hi DarkElf, It seems that the ARM support requires a new dependency. But I don't know the package; in AUR, there are many packages arm-none-linux-gnueabi. Let me know if you find it. I will update the PKGBUILD.

replaced arch=('arm' 'i686' 'x86_64') with arch=('armv6h' 'i686' 'x86_64') and elif [ $CARCH = "arm" ]; then with elif [ $CARCH = "armv6h" ]; then but when it starts compiling it gives me the following error: make[3]: arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc: command not found here is the full error chain (some messages are in italian language) http://paste2.org/8Mb95F2v

@DarkElf: I have added the support of ARM but I cannot check it. Let me know in case of any issue.

It is possible to make the package compatible with arm architecture?

@kfgz: corrected.
