Arch Linux User Repository

I confirm the same error with hash() as reported by others. I tried building manually with makepkg as well. Maybe it is due to an (apparently) recent update of gcc (version 15.1.1). Whoever is building successfully, could please confirm the gcc version?

Hi @lngndvs, and everyone;

I get a similar error and can't build it, too.

The OS is a proper Arch, updated just recently, before trying to build dict-wn. I use aur fetch to download the PKGBUILD’s repository, manually, and I use makepkg to build things, directly.

src and SRCDEST are clean, and the build is done with makepkg -Ccsf.

The error failing the build is as follows:

WordNet is now configured

  Installation directory:               /usr/local/WordNet-3.0

  To build and install WordNet:

    make
    make install

  To run, environment variables should be set as follows:

    PATH - include ${exec_prefix}/bin
    WNHOME - if not using default installation location, set to /usr/local/WordNet-3.0

    See INSTALL file for details and additional environment variables
    which may need to be set on your system.

Pretty similar to what @lngndvs gets.

In the interest of transparency, I am running EndeavourOS, i3WM.

I have been unable to build this package. Some of the explanations provided here are beyond my capacity, but I tried yay, paru, and makepkg several times.

The issue is in the src/grind directory.

This dictionary is an extremely important one, using dictd.

Hey @S0AndS0,

I couldn't reproduce your issue; it builds successfully with no errors or issues. I don't use yay any more, however.

Can you, please, try to build the PKGBUILD manually with makepkg?

When doing so, do clean the source files of the PKGBUILD fetched from your previous effort to build the package (usually in a directory called src and managed with the SRCDEST variable of makepkg) and also use makepkg -C (-C flag) for a clean build.

Getting install errors as of 2025-05-01 with the following output from yay;

... Seems up-stream may have changed the type sig. for hash function.

Hi simonzack,

sorry for the late reply; fixed.

The grind make command needs to be updated:

make -j1 'CFLAGS=-Wno-implicit-function-declaration -Wno-int-conversion -Wno-implicit-int' -C src/grind/ grind

Sorry for the noise!

IMO there was some problem with my AUR helper: paru. But now I have removed it as now I only have 4 AUR packages.

Thank you for quick response.

Hi utkarsh,

unfortunately, I cannot reproduce your issue.

Please try building in a clean chroot.
