Arch Linux User Repository

I'm not an expert in Arch packages, but I finally built TAU from sources, without using the package.

But finally I used the Valgrind's Callgrind tool to make my application profiling, since I couldn't manage to use TAU's source and compiler based instrumentations because of issues with some C++11 standard libraries usage... But maybe it was an issue with my own configuration, I couldn't figure it out.

Be carefull this project is really badly package. The sources inside build dir are used at runtime. I'm trying to do a better build.

The package does not build anymore, because of a binutils maj, because bfd_get_section functions have been renamed : https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=fd3619828e94a24a92cddec42cbc0ab33352eeb4

you could add papi as opt-depends for using HW counters

I've updated the PKGBUILD so that it SKIPS checksums. It now also generates the pkgver from the archive automatically. This means that the only thing needed to update tau to a new version is to remove the sources and rebuild the package.

Checksums are failing with 2.23.1b-1.

The current version is now 2.22-p1. This version numbering system is incompatible with pacmans version numbers, which cannot include hyphens (-). The simplest fix is to use $pkgver=2.22 and then define a new variable
taupath="$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver-p1"
which is then used throughout the PKGBUILD instead of "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver".

Current version is now 2.21.4. This PKGBUILD works, but only if the integrity checking is turned off (or the md5sum manually updated.)

Version 2.21 is released, the checksum fails now.

Works fine now, thanks.
