How to use it? +Just download the `PKGBUILD-<your-platform>` (no need to download the whole repository), go to directory where you downloaded and type: +```sh +mv ./PKGBUILD-<your-platform> ./PKGBUILD +cd .. +makepkg -si +``` +This will copy the PKGBUILD for your platform (where you type your platform name instead of `<your-platform>`), build it and install the PKGBUILD on 64-bit Archlinux ARM. + +In the future, I might try to do an unified PKGBUILD for all platforms that will recognize your platform automatically. + +### 2. What platforms are currently supported. +All specified in [COMPILE.md](../COMPILE.md). + +### 3. Any advantages with that sollution? +This might give you some advantages like those: +- automatic updates (with some AUR frontends like [`pamac-aur`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-aur/) or [`yay`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay)); +- easily uninstall with `pacman -R` when no needed (no need other scripts nor Makefile to do this); +- your `box64` installation is recognized as a package (where it wasn't when installing with `make install`). |
