I figured out a way to build this (dirty but it works): There are three patches for this package in the Fedora project, which can be snatched from the source rpm. The patches are credited to a "Yann Collette" These are the patches that have to be applied to the sources: gwc-0001-fix-implicite-declaration.patch gwc-0002-fix-makefile.patch gwc-0003-fix-initialization.patch

Also, configure needs CLFAGS="-Wno-incompatible-pointer-types"

Replying to Alister comments, I think I see the pull request you are referring to (three files in meschach). It still doesn't build. I'm just emailing the result to you.

Hi guys, I don't have an active Arch install at the moment, but I accepted a pull request last week that fixed build issues in the meschach source.

Not sure if it was from an Arch user, so before I make a new release, can someone confirm that it fixes the build on Arch? Thanks.

Also, re this: make || make # fixes problem with missing generated machine.h

The alternative would have been to use make -j1

This package does not build at this time, at least not on my current Arch system.

For the record, I see that jlindren's comment to add CFLAGS=-fcommon was an alternative to LDFLAGS = -Xlinker --allow-multiple-definition, and another option might be --warn-common. In any case, it is fixed in git, so I guess I should make a new release soon.

@Alister.Hood No problem, I forgot myself to make update I've promised.

LDFLAGS is needed to compile with gcc 11.1.0. There also seem to be an issue with machine.h file, it is missing at first attempt to build, as workaround I run make again after first failure.

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I mustn't have enabled notifications. It would be great if you could make those changes, thanks.

Unfortunately I don't have frequent access to Arch - I'd say someone who does is better-equipped to maintain. Development of gwc is very infrequent, so changes are most likely to be required if there are new compiler errors due to upgrades of other things in Arch.

I've just had a report of compile errors about multiple definitions with recent versions of gcc. Do you get these errors in Arch? The workaround is to use LDFLAGS = -Xlinker --allow-multiple-definition

@Alister.Hood Thank you for your suggestions. I will update PKGBUILD, unless you want to carry over its maintenance? You are better-equipped to do so, since you are also an author of the program. ;)

Alister.Hood commented on 2021-01-24 05:46 (UTC)

One problem with the PKGBUILD is it's referencing the wrong tarball. It should at least be coming from the release page on github, or from sourceforge. I'm not sure which one should be considered the source.

Yes, then autoreconf shouldn't be required in the PKGBUILD. The files at both sources are identical. I'd say go with sourceforge since the website is still there.

In the OPTDEPENDS I'd suggest changing "ogg support" and "mp3 support" to "ogg export" and "mp3 export", so people don't feel let down when they find the support is only for export.
