Sorry for the delay, everyone. At some point I put off fixing this package for a few days, and then it slipped off my TODO list. For two years, apparently. Sorry.

I've done a new version upstream, and updated this package here. Please let me know if it's working.

I don't have a mac any more (haven't for a decade), and don't have the ability to do meaningful maintenance here or upstream. At this point I'm semi-blindly merging any PRs I get. If anyone has a mac and would like to take over maintenance, please let met know!

(And thanks to Mettacrawer for bumping this.)

I modified the PKGBUILD so that it is pommed-light-git.

I'm not pleased with this compile warning that is in the upstream repo:

evdev.c:294:39: warning: the comparison will always evaluate as ‘false’ for the address of ‘name’ will never be NULL [-Waddress]
  294 |       if ((ie->len == 0) || (ie->name == NULL))
      |                                       ^~

this

char name __flexarr 

is basically this

char name[]

in that case ie->name will always have a non-NULL value.

Upstream applied a patch but never created a release tarball with that patch. What might work is to create a PKGBUILD that uses git, i.e. a pommed-light-git AUR package.

@tyjak, I had the same error. I was able to resolve it by manually applying a patch referenced here which was to resolve the same error: https://bugs.gentoo.org/708514. This is the patch: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=82d9607922cc4d6c00dfa2a83060828a00b99599

Essentially I just changed offending structs to external and I was able to compile the package. From there I just manually followed the install steps in the PKGBUILD.

I will submit my changes to the source. Hopefully we can get it merged and get the package installing again. In the mean time you can pull the up source repo and make the changes to the two files
