[PKGBUILD Review] "openal-git" and "lib32-openal-git"

Here's the AUR3 package for lib32-qt5 https://github.com/aur-archive/lib32-qt5 .

It's about 2 years old, but may be useful.

I may have put the options in the PKGBUILD wrong. How would you put these options in the 32bit PKGBUILD Lone_Wolf?

 -DQt5Widgets_DIR=/usr/lib32/cmake/Qt5Widgets 
-DQt5Gui_DIR=/usr/lib32/cmake/Qt5Gui
 -DQt5Core_DIR=/usr/lib32/cmake/Qt5Core

Duuuuuuuude...dude...kcat is a genius. It was a problem with the cmake files in /usr/lib32/cmake/Qt5Widget,Qt5Gui, and Qt5Core. Its probably the packages fault. Its a bit shaky and an orphan. Thank you for all your help as well Lone_Wolf. What a tricky PKGBUILD. Both the PKGBUILDS are ready to upload, although you have to do some tweaks in those cmake files to get the 32bit git OpenAL to build. I'm not sure how to handle that. Maybe I can take over the package and include patched versions of those files.

Well, the lib32-qt5-base-bin package will likely stop being usable in approx 8 months when AL stops providing i686 binaries.

Updating lib32-qt5 seems a better futureproof solution.
If needed it's also much easier to patch sourcefiles then binaries.

Off-topic :

This is how many aur maintainers get more packages.
They start with a few, then one of those gets a new dependency and that's not present or badly maintained.
So you add it or take over the existing one.

I saw that lib32-qt5 package, and its quite a doosy. I'm not at all experienced with PKGBUILDs on that level.I tried taking things from the official qt5-base PKGBUILD and adding in 32bit compile options, but that didn't work. I'm not sure why a 32bit version is not in the official repositories. It seems kind of important. Thats basically limiting all 32bit programs that use qt5 unusable. I think I'll have to ask for a request, or a serious walkthrough on PKGBUILDing for that lib32-qt5 package.
