@MarcinWieczorek to be fair it was a cheap and easy fix.
I submitted a pull request a while back which has just been merged upstream. The project should build fine now.

@shizcow checksums exist for a reason. Also, you could submit the patch upstream.

I also got it to build with "-fcommon". For an easy fix:
Add to sources: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Shizcow/64850479d199339ed30ab1a7a8ae153b/raw/249472176460dbfcc874a6fdd9c73f4e1fb5dcb2/light-build.patch
Add an extra
'SKIP'
tosha256sums
After
cd "$srcdir/light"
inbuild()
, add:git apply --stat ../light-build.patch

I managed to build it today 26.05.20 using the "-fcommon" cflag. At least it's a workaround until the package is fixed.

@pamrg upstream issue: https://github.com/haikarainen/light/issues/107
pamrg commented on 2020-05-19 02:09 (UTC)
It fails building with gcc v10 ("multiple definition of light_loglevel" etc). The light package from pacman works.

Would love to take ownership of this package so that I can make sure that it is kept updated and working. /Author

Could you add --with-udev to avoid setuid binaries? That's how the upstream PKGBUILD does - https://github.com/haikarainen/light/blob/master/archlinux/PKGBUILD

Is the maintainer AWOL? The 'light-git' package does not build, but 'light' does.

I attempted @shanewstone 's patch in yay with --editmenu and found it unsuccessful. However, using an alternate AUR manager was successful - just in case anyone else was running into that too.

Thanks @shanewstone, it worked for me as well!

In the build section, running
./configure
without--prefix=/usr
leads to the files being placed in/usr/local/
instead of/usr/
. Here is a partial diff showing what worked for me:02m commented on 2018-08-10 10:58 (UTC)
Upgrade (1.0.r7.g5b302a0-1 -> 1.1.2.r22.g5d5e3c3-1) fails with errors:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) light-git: /usr/local/share/man exists in filesystem (owned by filesystem) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I am upgrading with yay.

Hi,
help2man can be removed from makedepends, see: https://github.com/haikarainen/light/pull/41
With the current PKGBUILD make install command, the files are installed to /usr/local, you should add PREFIX=/usr:
make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" PREFIX=/usr install

Hi,
The build fails with message: (make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.)
Current source from git requires autogen.sh and configure scripts to run before being able to "make".
