Thanks for testing.

Just confirming that the current set of sed operations solved the issue here as well :)

Thanks cylgalad.

The original sed is still needed.

build() {
        cd "${srcdir}"/juddmon-$pkgname-$pkgGitHubCommit

        ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-pl-test --disable-gtktest
        sed 's/return Contact_add_blob(c, blob);/return Contact_add_blob(c, (void*)blob);/' jp-contact.c > /tmp/jp-contact.
        mv /tmp/jp-contact.c .
        sed 's/#include "jp-pi-contact.h"/\/*#include "jp-pi-contact.h"*\//' jp-contact.c > /tmp/jp-contact.c
        mv /tmp/jp-contact.c .
        make
}

Thanks cylgalad!

I incorporated your change into the PKGBUILD.

Adding this in PKGBUILD after the existing sed does the trick:

sed 's/#include "jp-pi-contact.h"/\/*#include "jp-pi-contact.h"*\//' jp-contact.c > /tmp/jp-contact.c
mv /tmp/jp-contact.c

Still not building

Thanks to Omar007 + cylgalad for prompt error reporting.

I put the sed back into PKGBUILD.

Ended up locally patching the PKGBUILD to restore the sed operation and that did solve the incompatible-pointer-types issue but then I hit the same problem @cylgalad did. Haven't looked further yet.

I cannot reproduce your finding. I git clone'd the repository and built it with makepkg and everything went smoothly.

Probably a good idea to verify things in a clean chroot, not against w/e state your system happens to be in. There is no way for anyone to replicate that and in reverse that also makes it impossible to reproduce issues. My builds are done in a clean chroot and it happens 100% of the time.

I am using pilot-link 0.12.5-2

This is very interesting though and might be part of the puzzle. As far as I'm aware that hasn't been buildable for years. I'm building against the -git variant instead for this reason.
I rechecked just now as well and it is still impossible to build it. Are you using custom patches to build it? Or is this an ancient compiled version you still had? Right now this looks like it might be a 'the build is dependent on the packager's system state' situation.

Can you please issue below command: pacman -Qo /usr/include/pi-contact.h

For me that would be pilot-link-git since pilot-link hasn't been buildable for well over a year, see previous.

I had hoped that the latest change by Judd Montgomery regarding "fixing compiler warnings", would fix this long lasting problem with the blob.

I will probably reactivate the sed statement in PKGBUILD again.
