@Pinky, well thank you, but your patch did not quite work for me. I pushed another implementation that effectively does the same as before, and slightly inspired by offical ngspice package.

When trying to make the package I got the error cannot stat 'src/.libs/libngspice.so.0.0.0'. Apparently the library has changed name to libngspice.so.0.0.8

After I changed the library name in the PKGBUILD, I was able to successfully install the package.

@StefanH, kicad-git does not require a minimum version of ngspice that is not in the normal repo. So I am not exactly sure I understand the need for it here.

What do we gain by using the pkgconfig file (.pc) file in kicad? I am not overly familiar with pkgconfig.

Hi Nick, thanks for hosting this package! Could you please add a base version to the provides (line 18)? Eg provides=("ngspice") -> provides=("ngspice=34"). This helps upgrade ngspice to ngspice-git when a package requiring a minimum ngspice version is installed (kicad-git).

Also this package builds a pkg-config file, but never installs it. Inserting around line 63: install -D -m644 ngspice.pc "$pkgdir/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ngspice.pc" allows packages like KiCad to use pkg-config.
