I had to modify the source. What I did was replace that problem line in logger.hh:
#define debug(format,args...) dump_log(Debug, "%s:%d in %s(): "format, __FILE__, __LINE__, __FUNCTION__, ## args)
with:
#define debug(format, ...) logger.write(Debug, "%s:%d in %s(): " format, __FILE__, __LINE__, __FUNCTION__, ##__VA_ARGS__)
and then did a makepkg -esri.

On a side note, when I first ran this, the startup.log file was blank. The easy solution was to follow cubethethird's advice and replace every occurence of:
Config::get<std::string>(“startup_log_file”).c_str()
with:
"/var/lib/e4rat/startup.log"

Rebuilt audit with 'staticlibs' added in the 'options' array of the PKGBUILD, but e4rat still won't build. (context: I'd like to use it to further get close to a chromebook abilities out of my six year old netbook with good ol' spinning hdd :-} )

Look at this comment: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1603933#p1603933

They say you should not edit /etc/makepkg.conf like dokie80 said. Instead just edit the PKGBUILD for audit.

sorry nvm.. this post is very helpfull : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1358066

- change "!staticlibs" to "staticlibs" in /etc/makepkg.conf
- install abs = sudo pacman -S abs
- run abs to generate file tree
- navigate to /var/abs/community/audit, copy the folder "audit" to other place ie. home folder
- navigate to ~/audit
- run "makepkg", will generate a file with .tar.xz extension.
- run "sudo pacman -U ~/audit/audit-2.4.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz" (file name maybe different if there's update)
- try install e4rat again

hope this help other noob like me.

can you please describe how to rebuild audit (read it from wiki) for e4rat to work?

Read ArchWiki about abs and PKGBUILDs -.-

ref http://www.opendevs.org/kmvkk/staticlibs-in-pkgbuild.html is broken..
please, how recompile audit package with staticlibs option

Sorry, forget it. No idea what happened but I reinstalled the deps and tried again, now everything worked fine. Third times a charm ;)

My build fails, can anyone help me figure out why?

You need to recompile audit package with staticlibs option, thanks to new policies :<

At least It's only needed once since e4rat isn't developed anymore and it's static ;)

(This package has far to low amount of votes to go back into community or extra)

Does not compile:

"CMake Error at src/cmake/Findaudit.cmake:17 (MESSAGE):
Could not find audit
Call Stack (most recent call first):
src/CMakeLists.txt:83 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
"

I don't get it at all… why just not give people the choice -.-

it's not possible to compile it anymore, needs option staticlibs which are generaly removed from almost all packages according to mailing list. So patch would be required

After upgrading boost-libs (1.53.0.2 -> 1.54.0-2), e4rat stop working. I recieve a kernel panic when booting because e4rat looks for /usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.53.0 but
there's no such file. e4rat should try /usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.54.0 or /usr/lib/libboost_system.so. The same happens with the other libboost_* like libboost_filesystem.so.1.54.0.

Is there a way to solve this problem in the PKGBUILD or using a patch? Or what should I do?

mkdir -p $pkgdir/usr/bin
mv $pkgdir/sbin/* $pkgdir/usr/bin
rmdir $pkgdir/sbin

binary files need to be moved to /usr/bin according to arch latest changes.
See: https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries-move-to-usrbin-requiring-update-intervention/

TODO: /sbin → /usr/bin fix

K. compiled&&packaged without errors - not tested (looking for volunteer with some knowledge of ext4 fs)

K. compiled without errors - not tested (looking for volunteer with some knowledge of ext4 fs)

Now i will proceed to create patches from:
config.cc commmon.cc device.cc e4rat-collect.cc

It comes directly from your inability to read comments && output.
[Please delete your comments and this message will be also deleted. Then just wait till package is fully patched]

Where does the problem come from?

Oh so this that project that i have forgot about xD (this will be deleted too)

I don't have any time till monday
(This comment will be deleted on monday ;) )

Yes please put this patch into the PGKBUILD. An additional change is still necessary to make it build:

src/config.cc line 74:
tool_name = fs::path(argv[0].filename().string();

(again the .string() part added)

TODO: create patch from this: https://github.com/LaraCraft304/e4rat-lite/commit/30780517a0edad3e22d51134f020d5feab12567f
