Thanks! Updated PKGBUILD

@el_aur, Please could you patch the PKGBUILD as said below (just one line to change).

Step by step guide (here GCC v. 14)

  cd /home/victoria/.cache/yay/c-client    ## << your path will differ

  edit

    /home/victoria/.cache/yay/c-client/PKGBUILD

  per @arch-chicken's 2024-07-05 comment, below

    https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/c-client#comment-981010

  i.e. replace

    CFLAGS+=" -ffat-lto-objects"

  with

    CFLAGS+=" -ffat-lto-objects -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration -Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types"


  makepkg -sri    ## operates over file PKGBUILD

  yay -Syu

    there is nothing to do

  ## Q.E.D.

with the following patch, I was eventually able to compile c-client even with gcc-14.

You are right, theses errors are triggered because of GCC 13 which is now more strict. Some warnings are now considered as errors.

Instead of using GCC 12 (not a long term solution), you can just mark those errors as warning again with this change. You have to replace the CFLAGS line with :

CFLAGS+=" -ffat-lto-objects -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration -Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types"

Can't install this package as I get the error below, I wonder if it's related to the GCC12 comment. My goal is to be able to install php81 or php83-iconv.

env_unix.c: In function ‘lock_work’:
osdep.h:60:15: error: implicit declaration of function ‘safe_flock’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
   60 | #define flock safe_flock

It's not buildable anymore with GCC 13

It needs to be forced with GCC 12 :

@PolarianDev what's an issue with it in ArchWiki?

el_aur you need to build imap as well otherwise this is a disfunctional PKGBUILD and should be converted into a single pkgbuild and not a split package.

Why have you intentionally stopped building the imap section? This is causing issues over on the ArchWiki
