Today I tested the compiled tool... so far I haven't found any problems, works fine

I just filed a bugreport upstream

Hi, I just tried different. I cloned the reopsitory from github switched to the release brach

installed trizen -S qt5-connectivity qt5-serialport qt5-gamepad

executed qmake -config release "CONFIG += release_lin build_free" "CONFIG += exclude_fw"

(CONFIG += exclude_fw as there seems a file to be missing in the firmware folders and make then seems to get stuck in a loop...)

then make clean && make -j 8

succeed in in building the program which at least started will test tomorrow or so if it works, as I need it for my job to help some collegues with a VESC controller (need is not true as I love to work with archlinux but at least I get the job done with the Windows version also...)

so far I do have not needed the patch for the pro file and I do not understand why you use the parameter qmake-qt5 PREFIX=/usr LIBDIR=/usr/lib for qmake... seems the qmake call in the projects bash scripts like build_lin work (appart from excluding the firmware build)

would be nice if you can check as I am a total novice editor when it comes to PKGBUILD files...

Yes, this stopped working because upstream made breaking changes and didn't created a new version for those. This should not happen in the same point release. We need to port that patch to the new file. We cannot remove it. Otherwise it will try to build for other platforms as well (for instance Android). Let me know if you attempt that. I am a little short of time now

Just tried to compile,

It fails early with the patch. seems the current vesc_tool.pro differs a lot to the version of which the patch was created with...

I have tried to apply the patch manually and remove the patch cmd from PKGBUILD. At least now the Compiler runs...
