Hi, Stefano Stabellini.

Thanks for getting back to me and sorry for my late reply.

I've already set up the development environment on my ArchLinux
laptop(ASUS A555L),
 with the following uname -a:
     Linux sky-arch 4.9.11-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Feb 19 13:45:52
UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I've also installed and tested it out, and it works quite normally.
In order to make things work on ArchLinux,
I've written two scripts to assist the build and install process.
(See: https://gist.github.com/blackskygg/2c1f63de6b96f035976dd44aaa39170b).

Hope to hear back from you soon.

Best Regards.

Zhongze Liu
