I have installed for now by simply removing the

<=3.4

requirement but only out of frustration. I'm at a loss as to why pacman would be complaining, I see the bit about 'LLVM 3.4 is broken' but for one, 3.4 is already installed from [extra] and for two, 3.3 ought to meet the criteria. All help/explanation appreciated.

I don't understand, isn't it simply because the current llvm version is 3.4.2, which isn't less than or equal to 3.4?

luisrayas3 · 2014-08-14 15:20:23

isn't it?? I would consider 3.4.2 == 3.4 from a versioning perspective and therefore also 3.4.2 <= 3.4

edit: also worth noting that it does work anyhow with 3.4.2

IMHO 3.4 == 3.4.0, so '3.4.2 <= 3.4.0' is false.
The PKGBUILD works if you change it to '>=' - is that what you mean by "it does work anyhow with 3.4.2"?

Nope, doesn't work that way. Try it yourself.

% vercmp -h
usage: vercmp <ver1> <ver2>

output values:
  < 0 : if ver1 < ver2
    0 : if ver1 == ver2
  > 0 : if ver1 > ver2

% vercmp 3.4.2 3.4
1

Whoa, good tool to know. I meant that with 3.4.2 installed the pure package works. Thanks for the help! I guess this is one for the maintainer then?

Yes, maybe you could also leave a comment on the aur page.
