It seems the build fail since gcc 15.0, it works with gcc 14.

@dreieck: applied, thanks!

Please do not use relative paths which go out of the build directory. If in /etc/makepkg.conf variables like $SRCDEST are set it breaks:

==> Starting prepare()...
patch: **** Can't open patch file ../../config.patch : No such file or directory

Please specify the absolute path to the patch!.

Also, please quote your variables, since $srcdir and $pkgdir might contain spaces.

@Gigabyte1027: downloads for me, both via makepkg and via manual connection to ftp server via an FTP client. 1.2.1 is still the latest stable version. I unflaged the package.

@alexei - thank you very much It builds and works for my purposes. (with limited testing) Will report back here if I notice anything odd.

alexei commented on 2021-03-25 21:19 (UTC)

@utiac: pushed fix (untested), thanks for the report.
