Yes please, I'm curious whether the addition of options=(!lto) or the change to make -j1 fixed the build for you. texinfo sounds like a makedepend i missed but not related to your original error.

If you don't mind, try run makepkg -si without the -j1 and with !lto and let me know if it failed/succeeded - I will know what to change based on your response

Thanks for following up mate

Applied the patch and then entered makepkg -siL. At first there was an error complaining about being unable to find texinfo. So I reinstalled the texinfo package and also installed the texlive-meta (something I've been meaning to do for a bit). After that, it was built and installed.

I can run gforth and get to the text interpreter just fine. Happy to provide any other info if helpful.

Yup. Running x86_64, with kernel 6.12.6-arch1-1. I'll give that a shot.

@mutewave Just to confirm you're on x86_64 right? Can you please try patch the PKGBUILD and try makepkg -siL again?

Thanks!

@mutewave I need more info as it's not failing for me:

$ cd /tmp && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/gforth.git && cd gforth && makepkg -siL
$ ls -tr gforth-*.log | xargs cat > makelog.txt

and upload /tmp/gforth/makelog.txt to pastebin/gist/other and link it here

Build fails with exit status 4.

In specific:

I believe this is referring to lines 714-730 in the generated makefile.os2.

yep - installs and runs perfectly fine! many thanks @envolution for that fast fix!

@okflo could you try again? I had to move the source to gnu.org due to a missing release on github

as of today it fails with "Failure while downloading https://github.com/forthy42/gforth/archive/refs/tags/0.7.3.tar.gz" - The requested URL returned error: 404
