Arch Linux User Repository

Upstream has updated to 21.9 with cuda 11.4.

And, to make it works in Chinese environment (and maybe other non-English environments), add following code:

prepare() {
  cd "$srcdir/$_pkgname"
  sed -i "s/en_US\.UTF\-8/C/g" "install_components/Linux_x86_64/$pkgver/compilers/bin/makelocalrc"
}

The package is causing anything that requires a compiler to fail on my system. It seems like the compiler is redirected to the one provided by NVIDIA. The previous comments indicate that it's likely caused by creating scripts in /etc/profile.d and polluting my environment.

Instead of creating a script in /etc/profile.d to set the environment variables, the PKGBUILD could add a dependency on env-modules and the script only has to set the MODULEPATH. This allows to load the compilers more cleanly without polluting the environment.

Here is a patch I'm usually applying to this PKGBUILD before installing NVHPC on my systems:

https://github.com/awvwgk/nvhpc-pkgbuild/commit/2c85c41c474613f8ea0b4cb24e80853d6ce9ae5a.patch

This package creates the file in /etc/profile.d/nvhpc.sh

This sets up a bunch of environment variables that conflict with the system. For example after installing this my firefox stopped being able to play mpeg4 vidoes.

I moved /etc/profile.d/nvhpc.sh to /opt/nvidia

So that I can source it when needed. Maybe this should be done in the PKGBUILD.

Exporting the environment variables in the prepare step doesn't work for me. I have to put them in the package function so the installer performs the silent installation correctly.

It appears as though the community edition has been moved to the NVIDIA HPC SDK at https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-hpc-sdk-download

There seems to be some problems with permissions...

@HaoZeke Thank you!

Sorry I've been a bit busy. Updated the package to the latest version. I've also added @a.kudelin as a co-maintainer.

@HaoZeke, could you please update the package to the recent version? If you have some difficulties doing it, I can help to maintain.
