Install seiscomp on Arch Linux

Hi there,
I create a seiscomp3 package in Arch Linux User Repository for installing seiscomp. User of Arch can use this package to install seiscomp on Arch. This package install latest release.

There is also a seiscomp3-git package which install latest source and commits from github. Use it if you want to install latest developement version.
Feel free to test them and report any problems here or on AUR.

Great! There are a few commits in master that could help with the Python 2/3 issue.

Hi! I am having this problem while compiling seiscomp3 using yaour:

Do you know what is happening ?

Archlinux has moved the rpc header to another directory. We have removed the ahrecord.* files and it should compile again with the master branch. Note that the release 3017.334 will not work. You can try to apply commit 36d0db0 to the release source.

Hi gempa, thanks for your kind reply. I note that the only release available in yaour is the 2017.334... I am looking forward to learn how to install seiscomp in arch linux =/

The Arch Linux package has been created by @morealaz. We do not support Arch Linux officially because it is a rolling release distribution. You can download packages for CentOS, Ubuntu and other Linux flavours.

Arch Linux use libtirpc to provide necessary libraries and header files for rpc. I add it as dependency to Arch seiscomp3 package and fixed its compilation errors. It now compile successfully. @emmaPatagonia please test it, and report any problem here or on AUR.

I also create a seiscomp3-git package in AUR to install seiscomp3 from latest source and commits from github. You can also try it, if you want to have latest build from github source.

@gempa-jabe: when I tried to compile siescomp from github, I have some errors. I already managed to fixed them, and compile and install seiscomp successfully on Arch.
First I get following error:

[ 35%] Linking CXX shared library ../../../../lib/libseiscomp3_client.so
/usr/bin/ld: /home/morealaz/Projects/Arch/AUR/seiscomp3-git/src/seiscomp3/src/trunk/libs/3rd-party/spread/lib/libtspread-core.a(sp.to): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `SP_connect_timeout' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

make: *** [Makefile:152: all] Error 2

    Aborting...

error suggest that I add -fPIC to compiler flags, so I did it. then after that I get following error:

[ 35%] Linking CXX executable ../../../../../bin/scmaster
/usr/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/scmaster.dir/master.cpp.o: undefined reference to symbol 'pthread_condattr_setclock@@GLIBC_2.3.3'

it related to libpthread, and by adding -lpthread to linker flags, this error also fixed and seiscomp compile successfully. this error also occured in compiling seiscomp 2017.334.05 and was fixed by adding -lpthread to linker flags.
