Problems installing OpenFoam v2606 on Arch from AUR

Problems installing OpenFoam v2606 on Arch from AUR

Hi, I'm trying to install OpenFoam v2606 on my Arch system from user repositories (AUR). I'm neither a Linux nor OpenFoam expert, so I'm not sure if my question is better suited for this subreddit or an arch/linux one.

What I've done so far on:

- manually installed all dependencies,
- cloned openfoam-com repo,
- run makepkg -s in the cloned repo directory.

My build seems to be done. It ends with "Build failed with 0 executables and libraries". Which I believe means that it has succeeded. Now the folder contains the following files:

Finished build

Normally I would just run:

pacman -U package_name-version-architecture.pkg.tar.zst

As per arch wiki but unfortunately there is no file with the .pkg.tar.zst extension.

If nothing works out, I might try building from source, though I doubt I will be successful since I've never tried that before.

Did anyone go through the process recently and can point me in the right direction?
