Arch Linux User Repository

This should probably conflict with and provide tty-clock [1] since they build from the same repo.

[1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tty-clock/

Add the following prepare function to fix this package:

prepare() {
cd "$srcdir/$_gitname"
sed -i 's/CFLAGS ?=/CFLAGS +=/' Makefile
sed -i 's/LDFLAGS ?=/LDFLAGS +=/' Makefile
sed -i 's/LDFLAGS ?=/LDFLAGS +=/' Makefile
sed -i 's/${SRC} -o/${SRC} -lncurses -o/' Makefile
}

Does not compile anymore with ncurses>=6.

Here is another modification that "fixes" the makefile:

That was reported upstream five days ago, including a patch.
https://github.com/xorg62/tty-clock/pull/29

Fails to build on arch.
Reason appears to be in the Makefile CFLAG/LDFLAGS using
VARIABLE ?= value
Setting of a variable only if it doesn't have a value
But in my case CFLAGS/LDFLAGS is already defined in /etc/makepkg.conf

I can make it build with the command:
$ makepkg -s --config /tmp/makepkg.conf
in which I commented out the CFLAGS & LDFLAGS

Why not use in Makefile ?

VARIABLE += value

Appending the supplied value to the existing value (or setting to that value if the variable didn't exist)

Please use the https URL instead of the ssh version. Otherwise you are prompted for the passphrase of your private key.

@GeoffreyFrogeye: Done.

Tested on armv6h (Raspberry Pi) and it worked like a charm. PKGBUILD should be edited.
