Arch Linux User Repository

Apologies for the delay here. I've updated the PKGBUILD as per jonathon's patch and added him as a co-maintainer at his request to ensure there can be more timely updates in the case I am busy in the future.

Thank you jonathon for the patch.

@tiehuis: Could you please update the PKGBUILD with @jonathon's patch? As noted in the 2020-05-05 out-of-date flag message, the existing PKGBUILD no longer works.

Here's a git diff for 0.6.0 and LLVM 10 support. It tidies the PKGBUILD a little bit too:

@daurminator I see. Thanks for letting me know!

@alva that was an upstream bug, should be fixed now. https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/4394

Seems that CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE must now be one of Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, or MinSizeRel. Installing the package currently fails:

==> Starting build()...
::
:: ERROR: Invalid build type: None
::
:: valid types: { Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, MinSizeRel }
::
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:17 (message):


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

Thanks daurnimator. Updated.

Could you pass -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=None so that makepkg flags are respected? See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#CFLAGS.2FCXXFLAGS.2FLDFLAGS_in_makepkg.conf_do_not_work_for_CMake_based_packages

Thank you for the patch! Updated.

Andrew pushed a temporary fix upstream: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/commit/77c2ac3fcd27b114b0068d3b64b3d884aa71e4ef
