Today I updated the Aur with version 14429. As there was quite a big change (GTK3 vs GTK2), it didn't compile that easily.

I ended up modifying mkfile, which was originally downloaded from uppbox/lpbuild2/. So, it might be interesting to update that folder accordingly or add my mkfile too:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/mkfile?h=upp

I'm not so versed in makefiles, so it may be done in better ways. One thing that I wonder is why I had to add all the libs in LDFLAGS... aren't they be supposed to be taken automatically by the linker?
Anyway, it works now and uses clang.

BTW, have you tried "official" install package? E.g. nightly from https://www.ultimatepp.org/www$uppweb$download$en-us.html

Also, there are now autogenerated makefiles even in Repo, with ./configure, see https://github.com/ultimatepp/ultimatepp

Would these work for you?

Thanks, I think that using the official configure will be the way to go. I will test that with future versions.

Now Arch has both nightly and stable again in the AUR, completely rewritten. If someone wishes, I wrote a Perl script that automatically pulls the most recent release and automatically updates the AUR. It would be nice to set it up on a box that updates daily the AUR for nightly. But it needs to update checksums, so it has to be an Arch box.
