Can't build on Manjaro

[andy5995]

For some strange reason, the build now fails on Manjaro, where it was working before

I've narrowed the problem down a little. The error occurs when make runs jobs in parallel.

Here's what I did to fix it on Arch/Manjaro

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=vfu&id=b80d8b15531f6c5af467e8f944b07b3664f4f0cf

(hint: I mostly replaced -lpcre2 with $(shell pcre2-config --libs-posix))

hi!

there re entirely new Makefiles for all submodules, libraries and VFU.
could you, please, try to pull and 'make' again to check if the new makefiles resolve the issue?

[andy5995]

I download the 5.02 archive and ran "build" and it completed successfully.

Updated on the AUR for 5.02 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vfu
