Hydrobuddy Not-yet-solved

Question

I would like to use a program called HydroBuddd, a nutrient solution formulation program. It has a linux build, but I am unable to install it. Is there anyone who would be kind enough to put it in the AUR?

Answer 1

Yeah, if you read the PKGBUILD I posted, it uses Lazarus. I'm going through some bug reports right now, then I'll have time to get back to this.
Edit: Figures, this program is very much written for Windows. Had to dump it to /opt to make things work right.
Please test this and let me know how it goes. If everything's fine, we can upload it to the AUR.
