@benalexau The likely reason some people get the package integrity problem and you don't is because you're trying it right after you create the package so your hashes match the IB installer script. Later on, IB updates it and the hash no longer matches so people trying to install after that point get the issue.

In case it helps for the future, the easiest way to build this package without using an AUR helper is:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/ib-tws.git
cd ib-tws
makepkg -rs

Doesn't work with yay -Syyu for some reason, but works for your command line codes.

@agamemnon, can you explain what you mean? It works for me:

[bpa@bpanb ~]$packer-aur -G ib-tws
[bpa@bpanb ~]$cd ib-tws/
[bpa@bpanb ib-tws]$makepkg -rs

Awesome, thank you @benalexau :)

benalexau commented on 2020-12-15 23:34 (UTC)

Thanks @cwaffles. I made this change (to both the TWS and IB Gateway configuration files) and also updated it more generally to reflect the settings in IB's present tws.vmoptions.
