The package is compiling but it will not start:

mag 25 07:43:07 archlinux slimserver.pl[1111]: The following CPAN modules were found but cannot work with Lyrion Music Server:

mag 25 07:43:07 archlinux slimserver.pl[1111]: To fix this problem you have several options:
mag 25 07:43:07 archlinux slimserver.pl[1111]: 1. Install the latest version of the module(s) using CPAN: sudo cpan Some::Module
mag 25 07:43:07 archlinux slimserver.pl[1111]: 2. Update the module's package using apt-get, yum, etc.
mag 25 07:43:07 archlinux slimserver.pl[1111]: 3. Run the .tar.gz version of Lyrion Music Server which includes all required CPAN modules.

I did this the painful way - download and extract "slimserver-vendor-public-8.4.tar.gz"; extract "CPAN/giflib-4.1.6.tar.gz"; edit "lib/gif_hash.c".

...then backed out, recompressed the two gz files; edited PKGBUILD to reflect new checksums.

All looks great so far. As for creating a fix in the middle of that buried .c file... man, there are some clever people around here.

Thanks.

Hopefully this patch will fix the issue. There was no update of the vendor-soruce so I believe the latest gcc is more picky or whatever.

Thanks @painlessjeff - gif_hash.c is overwritten when I makepkg -e so I'm not sure how the fix works.

I'm also lost as to why it impacts some of us, but @FabioLolix can build without issues?

I have the same problem as jasonwryan. In fact, the package is built even if the build fails on gif_hash.c. But LMS can't be started as the build failed and an incomplete package has been installed. EDIT: giflib-4.1.6 seems to be the culprit here. Adding the line "#include <stdlib.h>" at line 52 in "src/slimserver-vendor/CPAN/giflib-4.1.6/lib/gif_hash.c" fixes the problem.

@FabioLolix in a clean chroot on x_64 Both this and the stable version fail the same way, on two different machines (both up-to-date, one on [testing]).

@jasonwryan can't reproduce with both makepkg and devtools, how are you building this?

Build is currently failing:

Can you add 'wget' to the makedepends?

Why? This build fine in clean chroot without wget

Can you add 'wget' to the makedepends?
