@octylFractal Right, the community package ought to cover it. I've added git to makedepends per your request; thanks for bringing it to my attention.

@bin nesk_aur is requesting a non-git package that is versioned, e.g. a "mold" package that would currently be at version 1.0.3, and not use the latest commits. Edit: I see now that community ships this already, so there's no point in making one in the AUR.

On another note, I would appreciate it if you added git to the makedepends of this package, as it is not part of base-devel.

@nesk_aur This should work on the 1.0 and up git; what do you mean by a "separate package"?

bin commented on 2022-01-01 05:53 (UTC)

@SemenMartynov This should build on the latest now.

Please make update to the version 1.0.0 https://github.com/rui314/mold/tree/v1.0.0

Will you create a separate stable package now that 1.0 is out please?

I'm currently using the following patch:

  • Set correct license
  • Use tbb library as a dependency
  • Install to /usr prefix (instead of /usr/local)
  • Remove obsolete symlinking
  • Quote paths in 'cd' to prevent globbing and word splitting

Possible further improvements:

  • Use a variable for additional make flags

The build is failing with:

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/yaytmp-1000/mold-git/pkg/mold-git/usr/bin/ld.mold': No such file or directory

using make with PREFIX=/usr parameter should fix it

s0lst1ce commented on 2021-08-14 12:20 (UTC)

Looking at the PKGBUILD it seems to only copy mold to usr/bin when, at the very least, mold-wrapper.so should be copied as well for mold to be used.

somebody commented on 2021-06-12 01:30 (UTC)

actually, might be worth trying to copy build process from the readme
