@Nihiii0, I suggest use more up to date libxml2 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libxml2-git/ instead.

There's no use reporting bugs to the old version of libxml2, which was released in 2002 and since then superseded by the 2.x line of development.

It builds for me in a clean chroot

clean chroots use the devtools makepkg.conf, not the one from the host machine. That's not synced yet.

Consider these reports to be a prediction of future problems once the devtools implement https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/rfcs/-/merge_requests/3

Please report upstream.

Hi, i had the same problem of m2-farzan. I tried to temporarily disable the warning flag in /etc/makepkg.conf and everything worked.

Hey, thanks for the package. So I tried it today and got this error:

debugXML.c: In function 'xmlDebugDumpNamespace': debugXML.c:49:21:
error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
49 | fprintf(output, shift);

I'm not a C expert, but some explanation can be found here.

So as a SUPER DIRTY fix, I did this:

makepkg --nobuild
find . -type f -name "*.c" -exec sed -i "s/fprintf\([^,]*,[^,]*\));/fputs\1);/g" {} +
makepkg --noextract -i

which should find calls to fprintf with 2 params, and replaces them with fputs. This made the errors go away but there was LOADS of warnings. Now idk much C and couldn't give it more time, so this could be a horrible workaround. Anyway, just wanted to share.

P.S. In the SO page I linked, there is talk about a compiler flag that causes the error. So maybe disabling the flag would be a better workaround than modifying the old code.

It builds for me in a clean chroot, so maybe try with a different helper, or without one?

I get this error while installing. I couldn't understand why though. Do you happen to know why?

The FTP Server is not reachable but I found this alternate to fetch the source. http://xmlsoft.org/sources/old/libxml-1.8.17.tar.gz

I created a patch for it: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ankitrgadiya/a996a801a1b15963a2f28831f85603ea/raw/9251694db2b0e99995eb0213b389c0a2e16d8ba5/patch.diff
