[FIXED] can't compile on Arch
I compiled this on a freshly installed and updated arch VPS around 15 days ago, today I'm trying to install (on a freshly installed as well) local arch machine to no avail. Tried AUR, AUR 'trickle-git', this repo and echiu64's fork
log reads:

I tried applying the patch described in ArchLinux forums post from 2024-05-13: Cannot install trickle because libc is not found to AUR's trickle-git

Yes this worked for me too. Only on trickle from AUR (v1.07-12), but not on the more recent version.
I just pushed the patch to the trickle-git AUR, i should work again now (for me it does).
It doesn't compile on my system. Any solutions?

Update
I managed to "install" it. I ran a Ubuntu 22.04 container, installed it there, then copied over the files to my host system.
host > docker run -it ubuntu:22.04 bash
docker > apt update && apt install trickle -y
host > docker ps # find the container id
host > sudo mkdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/trickle -p
host > docker cp <id>:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/trickle/trickle-overload.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/trickle/
host > docker cp <id>:/usr/bin/trickle ~/.local/bin/
[!NOTE] I tried
LD_PRELOADthing to avoid having to create/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tricklebut it doesn't work since it is hardcoded to find the .so file on that path (I checked withstrace).
I couldn't use it for my purposes (the app kept crashing after some time), but I don't think it's because I didn't install trickle properly:
