Hi @jayesh, please checkout the following merge requests: https://gitlab.com/badwaik/archlinux/aur/nvhpc/-/merge_requests/3

@chazeon Not so much, running makelocalrc in package() is fine for me. Though I would still use sed or patch if I was the maintainer.

@chazeon :thanks for working on it and figuring out the bug.

you can send me a merge request in https://gitlab.com/badwaik/archlinux/aur/nvhpc if you wish..I might only be able to look at it in around 12 hours .

Hi @lahwaacz, would you be objecting to running makelocalrc in the package() stage?

Please don't run makelocalrc from post_install() nor from the PKGBUILD, it may contain other stuff that would change the user's environment in a way not suitable for Arch. The correct localrc should be found and assembled in package() as it is now.

OK, I understand, the issue is with the $pkgdir/opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/$pkgver/compilers/bin/localrc file. It seems that GCCVERSION needs to be a numerical number now.

I suggest do not do sed anymore, it is too fragile, you can directly generate this localrc file using the command makelocalrc. Say you want gcc-13, you can do:

source /opt/nvidia/nvhpc.sh
makelocalrc -x -gcc gcc-13

and you can specify the output directory using the -d option. If you already installed the package, run the above commands using root will fix the issue.

A comparison between the regenerated localrc and the one installed with the attached PKGBUILD:

% diff localrc /opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/24.7/compilers/bin/localrc
17,18c17
< set GCCVERSION=130300;
< set GCCNAME=gcc-13;
---
> set GCCVERSION=13.3.0;

I don't know how to make a pull request now, if I can figure it out I might try to submit a request to use the makelocalrc command directly.

I am having some issues with compilers in the 24.7 version, only nvcc works, nvc, nvc++, nvfortran all gives something like this:

nvhpc.sh has now been shifted to /opt/nvidia/nvhpc.sh and hence is not loaded by default.

Yes. I have a plan to shift the nvhpc.sh to a custom location so that it is not read by default. I will push the change along with the new 24.5 change as well which should be done by today evening.
