In system with global target directory set, build process will fail because asusctl Makefile expected that target is in the asusctl folder. Apply this patch fix the issue.

@fabiscafe Got the terminology wrong, but you got what I meant :^) And yeah, after setting up a swap file it still makes my machine unresponsive for a while, but it builds successfully. Thanks!

@bemxio AUR contains PKGBUILDs, not packages. This PKGBUILD builds 3 packages: asusctl, rog-control-center, gnome-shell-extension-asusctl-gnome.

Some of them will require a high amount of system memory (>16GiB) I have an optional swapfile of 30GiB that I swapon to build it, because I'm also pretty limited when it comes to system memory (8GiB).

@redsolja Please try in a clean build environment

The package makes my system halt when building rog-control-center. Why is it built anyway, since rog-control-center is a seperate package? Is there a way to disable building it?

Just a heads up to. A few merges were added to the latest release to correct issues with the upstream build system. No action needed

Debug builds were impossible because of an error in the upstream makefile. https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl/-/commit/15732ecd82b2ab4b79cc5fd64eeb310826ce3a83

Symbol stripping was being forced by the upstream makefile. https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl/-/commit/b105ff5180b189f718f110a8614218958bafeda6

@Sharky009 on top of what @OctopusET already have pointed out please be aware that Manjaro is not supported here. Not by the AUR and not in any way by me.

This PKGBUILD is tested that it builds in a clean Arch Linux chroot and that it runs on a base Arch Linux system. Everything else is unsupported.

@Sharky009 Those packages are included in 'base-devel' package. You are required to install the base-devel package to use AUR. Check this wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Getting_started

So, all AUR packages don't need to add those packages as dependencies.
