Arch Linux User Repository

@edh Could you use in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=bcc#n15

source=("${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz::https://github.com/iovisor/${pkgname}/archive/v${pkgver}.tar.gz"

to make downloaded archive unique? Otherwise it may collide with sources from unrelated packages which are already in cache.

@sdh Thanks a lot for the heads-up. However, if I am not mistaken, the change should only affect us in the coming release. I will add the necessary fix upon a new release.

As per https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/issues/2145, they default to /usr/bin/python in their scripts, which do not work on Arch with the default python3. The PKGBUILD will have to sed all such paths to /usr/bin/python2 now.

I used the following:

prepare() {
    cd "${srcdir}/${pkgbase}"
    # python2 fix
    sed -i '1s,/usr/bin/python$,/usr/bin/python2,' tools/*py tools/old/*.py tools/lib/*.py
}

@milk Thanks a bunch for the notice. That definitely should not be this way. However, the top-level makedepends are fine. Hence, I just stripped the nested ones.

with pacman-git I get;

==> ERROR: makedepends can not be set inside a package function
==> ERROR: makedepends can not be set inside a package function
==> ERROR: makedepends can not be set inside a package function

Ops, I don't know how that happened. Thanks for the help!

vmaffione: you need to remove your manually installed /usr/local/lib/libelf.a file.

Hi, I get a build failure:

Any clues?

Hi, i got the same error as @marak:

I cannot attach kprobes - neither with the ready made bcc tools nor with my own.

Code: https://pastebin.com/eEgGeGJh Output: https://pastebin.com/Ni1cTALj

@marak The program mentioned in the log works fine for me.
