Arch Linux User Repository

@malacology Sure, done.

Please also add git and cmake to makedpends to pass the extra-x86_64-build

Maybe it's because my /etc/makepkg.conf is quite old, from like 2013 or so, and doesn't have any LTO flags enabled. But I don't think it hurts, so disabled link time optimization in the PKGBUILD options array. Hope it helps!

Still get

/usr/bin/ld: ../../lib/libLLVMSupport.a: error adding symbols: file format not recognized

without adding '!lto' to options. Maybe theres a better way then turning lto off though

Sorry everyone, for some reason I didn't have comment notifications enabled here! It should be fixed now. Thanks to @RandoOnSteam for the patch.

As I haven't had to reinstall this because the 2023 version keeps running fine I didn't notice.

There might be a better fix than this, but this fixed the SDK link and the linker errors

the SDK URL in this PKGBUILD is 404.

Just built the current head and works just fine for me out of the box.
