Arch Linux User Repository

Please use this package for stable more reliable builds

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/darling/

This one is identical but locked in on a last known working git ref and I will update as often as I can.

I have also raised an issue about versioning so maybe we can get some kind of tags for future versions and stable working builds

https://github.com/darlinghq/darling/issues/537

For those trying to build on Linux 5.1 please see this PR

https://github.com/darlinghq/darling-newlkm/pull/5

I have just included this patch in the most recent package.

When building it requires linux-headers on my system. But I run linux-zen instead. Can I safely ignore this dependency?

@dreieck & @J5lx, I have updated the PKGBUILD placing the git submodules into the sources section. Thanks for the info!

Could you help me to solve that? Thanks.

.. and what for is e.g. perl needed, when I just want to build the kernel module?

The Arch Wiki has instructions on how to handle git submodules: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#Git_Submodules

The prepare()-function invokes a lot of data traffic (via initialisation of git submodules).

For getting sources, the source-array is the place to go.

Is it possible to make all the downloads via the source-array? Would be much more convenient, expecially over slow internet connections where downloading via source-array can be managed differently e.g. by specifiying handlers in the makepkg.conf.

Package updated - Added new dependencies libpng, libtiff, glu, cairo, libbsd, python2, and linux-headers

thanks @tgc

I found that in a headless install it now requires OpenGL libraries.

I tried building this pkg on a very fresh Arch install and had to install the following additional dependencies (some probably overlap) to successfully build it: llvm libpng mesa cairo libtiff libbsd python2 linux-headers
