The .SRCINFO file is still pointing to 14.2 so it also needs an update.

If the PKGBUILD could also be updated to add --disable-sim to the configure parameters, that would also be greatly appreciated.

The following diffs will get a package that will build and install with makepkg --skippgpcheck --install

I'm getting an error when upgrading,

Here it says it wants gdb-common 15.1, above yay reports gdb-common 14.2...some ideas?

The latest version v15.1 uses the $SHELL environment variable. E.g. in ~/.cache/paru/clone/gdb-multiarch/src/gdb-15.1/sim/cris/local.mk.

Shells incompatible with Bourne Shell will fail to build. So $SHELL should be set to something appropriate. The following works, but maybe sh works too and will be simpler:

$ SHELL=bash pacinst gdb-multiarch --assume-installed gdb-common=14.2

@ivanzkos Alternately, adding --disable-sim as a configure flag makes the incompatible pointer type warnings go away. I don't know what this flag does, but it seems to be recommended by upstream build docs: https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildingNatively

@ivanzkos I've found this patch fixing the incompatible pointer types: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-December/205492.html

But ran into another compiler error. Didn't have the time yet to look into it.

LTO is now disabled, but the build for 14.2-2 fails for me with:

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks for the update. The latest update gdb-multiarch 14.2-1, also fails to build using Paru. Setting options=(!emptydirs !lto) fixed it.

Hello! The build fails for me as well, adding !lto fixed it.

Here's the first few build errors

This fixed it...

• Found the cache directory at ~/.cache/yay/gdb-multiarch
• Edited the PKGBUILD file
  • Changed options=(!emptydirs) to options=(!emptydirs !lto)
• Ran these commands:
  • updpkgsums (I'm not sure if that is necessary)
  • makepkg -si PKGBUILD
• After a long long time it worked!

    upgpkg: gdb-multiarch 14.1-1

Hi! Build fails for me too, fixed with options=(!lto). I did not build in chroot.

@aviel Sorry, didn't notice your reply (didn't have notifications turned on for this package).

As far as I know I don't do anything super-unusual. In makepkg.conf I have the following changes:

CFLAGS="-march=x86-64-v3 -mtune=generic [the rest are standard]"
OPTIONS=(strip docs !libtool !staticlibs emptydirs zipman purge !debug lto)

I build AUR packages in a chroot with aurutils, so perhaps that I'm using a chrooted build makes a difference?
