Description

@crt26

Summary

To improve the portability and the range of compatible devices, support for Arch-based Linux distributions needs to be added. Currently, the setup scripts and dependency instructions are tailored towards Debian-based systems, which may cause issues or require manual intervention on Arch systems.

Task Details

  • Add Arch-based system detection to setup.sh and support pacman for package installation.
  • Map required packages to their Arch equivalents where names differ.
  • Handle system-specific differences in the install logic.
  • Update documentation with Arch-specific setup instructions.
  • Verify compatibility with virtual environments and the Liboqs/OQS-Provider build process.
  • Test installation on a clean Arch-based system
