It does not build anymore because GCC was bumped to version 15, which switches the default language version to gnu23. You can find more information here: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-15/porting_to.html

GCC 15 changes the default language version for C compilation from -std=gnu17 to -std=gnu23. If your code relies on older versions of the C standard, you will need to either add -std= to your build flags, or port your code to C23.

To fix the build we can just switch back to gnu17. In line 16 of the PKGBUILD you need to add -std=gnu17 to c_args:

-  arch-meson "$pkgname-$pkgver" build
+  arch-meson "$pkgname-$pkgver" build -Dc_args="-std=gnu17"

httpsdirfs dependency expects of gumbo-parser to provide libgumbo.so.2, but the latter only provides libgumbo.so, libgumbo.so.3, and libgumbo.so.3.0.0, as what pacman -Ql gumbo-parser reveals.

Here’s the log when building ttf-ms-win11-auto :

Trying to install this package as it is a dependency for ttf-ms-win11-auto and I get the following error:

I hope the above error text is helpful.

Cheers.

Hi @TheBill2001,

I've just tried to compile the package appending -fuse-ld=mold to LDFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf, and it works.

Have you installed mold?

Build failed if using mold linker.

collect2: fatal error: cannot find ‘ld’

Hi @owentrigueros.

Thank you, that seems to have done the trick. Package was successfully built just now.

Cheers!

Hi @elod, thanks for the help. I have tried to compile the package in different machines, even on a docker container, and everything went fine.

I have added graphviz to makedepends as it was needed to correctly generate the documentation, but I think it has nothing to do with the problem you are describing.

I have updated the git version of this package, httpdirfs-git. Could you try with that one?

Thanks in advance!

Happy to help debug this. Not sure where to look.

$ pacman -Qs perl
local/perl 5.38.2-1
A highly capable, feature-rich programming language

Arch is fully up to date.

Hi @elod, I have not been able to reproduce the error. What version of perl do you have installed?
