(follow-up) - yeah, currently it's a bit of a mess :

  • I found permalinks, like https://ltspice.analog.com/download/24.1.0/LTspice64.msi
  • the above is the same file as what you currently (2025/01/25) get from https://ltspice.analog.com/software/LTspice64.msi
  • the version string in the .json file is not 24.1.0 as expected, but '24.0.12' ....
  • if you download https://ltspice.analog.com/download/24.0.12/LTspice64.msi, the .json says 24.0.11...

I'm going to try using a permalink, just so the build doesn't break on their next update, but I may not notice for a while to update the PKGBUILD. We can revisit this if analog gets their versioning straightened out.

Hi ! I've try to update but the PKGBUILD seems to be unreadable. Is there some trouble with the PKGBUILD or with my installation ? While reading the latter, I can't figure out which url the script will download the package to. Could someone explain it to me ( for the sake of curiosity)? Thank you in advance for your explanations and for your work.

I've updated this on a forked git repository. If the original maintainer wants to put it back into his repo I'll gladly give back control!

Also, the kind of packaging is rather nasty. To circumvent the installing person to click buttons in the install dialog, an extracted version of the software is stored in a github repository which gets pulled by this PKGBUILD. It obviously would be nicer to have the installer push its buttons automatically, either by extracting from the .exe or by using something like autohotkey on wine.

@thegala I just noticed that it reliably freezes under Wayland for me. Try using X11 and see if that helps.

@thegala It's working for me.. Do you have anything more specific? console output/wine logs?

I also updated the package to the newest version, it creates a separate wineprefix now on launch. Please try to update, maybe it solves the problem.

Hello, LTspice isnt working for me anymore. It starts and when I want to create new file LTspice just freezes. Any ideas?

Where can I find the ltspice directory to add new models? When I put them in /usr/shar/ltspice, they don't show up in the menu.

@alex4o thanks for the tip :)

@M4a1x perfect, that was exactly what i had in mind! Thank you very much

Thanks @alex4o for the start launch script update.

I originally planned on revising the package. I still didn't find the time to do that. Therefore I just bumped the version number for now.

@joposter Hi, you can very easily update to ltspice 17 by just bumping the $pkgver in the PKGBUILD file.

Also you need to replace the launch script with something like this:

#!/bin/bash
unset WINEPREFIX
if [ ! -d "$HOME"/.ltspice ] ; then
   mkdir -p "$HOME"/.ltspice
   touch "$HOME"/.ltspice/LTspiceXVII.ini
fi
wine /usr/share/ltspice/XVIIx64.exe -ini "$HOME"/.ltspice/LTspiceXVII.ini "$@"
