I cannot use the upstream libastyle library of archlinux like this:

bash

sudo cp /usr/lib/libastyle-2.05.1.so /usr/share/arduino/lib/libastylej.so

However I am wondering why as opensuse for example also had those patches: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/CrossToolchain:avr/Arduino/0004-libastylej-is-in-usr-lib.patch?expand=1

The error I get inside the IDE if i press ctrl+t:

I also has similar issues with ctags or liblistserial. Could you please provide some help why those upstream binaries dont work and how to patch them?
