Arch Linux (AUR) installation notes

[arknave]

My notes for installing on Arch Linux. I didn't use the AUR package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kattis-problemtools/) because it wants to use python2.

The only troublesome dependency is plastex, which is not in the official arch repositories. I installed it from the AUR using this PKGBUILD (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plastex/). After that, I made some small edits to the PKGBUILD (see my version here: https://gist.github.com/arknave/36b486b5bb9328e13d45e6a160e81652) and makepkg -si just worked 🎉

@arknave : You may be confusing me with somebody else? I don’t know what the AUR PKGBUILD even is…

[arknave]

Sorry, I was trying to tag Thorsten on AUR (who I think is @t-wissmann) and auto-completed the wrong username.

[arknave]

Actually now I'm really confused who the right username is, apologies for all the tags. I'll make an AUR account and message the owner there.

I've updated the AUR package, feel free to ping me if there are any issues.

Hi, thanks that you took care of it! I haven't been using kattis for a long time and so I marked the aur package as orphaned.

Sorry @arknave that I missed your ping :-(. I can't recall anymore what went wrong and why I didn't see you tagging me, but you were absolutely right :-)
