Hi,

Is there a specific reason you don’t want to use the arch-meson wrapper in the prepare step? i.e. instead of the current prepare function, use something like:

prepare() {
    arch-meson -Dguile=enabled -Dreadline=enabled "$pkgname-$pkgver" build
}

@xeruf That file is (re)generated by a pacman hook on install. So it makes sense that it does not belong to any package. However, even when not building in a clean chroot I can not reproduce your issue. And I have no idea how or why that file could end up in the package.

@xavierbaez It looks like your gcc-libs package is to old. Please do a full upgrade and try again or ideally build in a clean chroot.

THe package is not building correctly: CXXLD test-threads CXXLD test-contacts CXXLD test-parser /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libxapian.so: undefined reference to std::__throw_bad_array_new_length()@GLIBCXX_3.4.29' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libxapian.so: undefined reference tostd::__throw_bad_array_new_length()@GLIBCXX_3.4.29' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: [Makefile:1015: test-msg] Error 1 make[3]: Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[3]: [Makefile:1031: test-store] Error 1 /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libxapian.so: undefined reference to std::__throw_bad_array_new_length()@GLIBCXX_3.4.29' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [Makefile:1023: test-parser] Error 1 /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libxapian.so: undefined reference tostd::__throw_bad_array_new_length()@GLIBCXX_3.4.29' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: [Makefile:1027: test-query] Error 1 /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libxapian.so: undefined reference to `std::__throw_bad_array_new_length()@GLIBCXX_3.4.29' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: [Makefile:1035: test-threads] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/xavier/.cache/yay/mu/src/mu-1.6.11/lib' make[2]: [Makefile:1175: all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/xavier/.cache/yay/mu/src/mu-1.6.11/lib' make[1]: [Makefile:583: all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/xavier/.cache/yay/mu/src/mu-1.6.11' make: [Makefile:493: all] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

well, obviously this is some kind of conflict that won't happen in a clean environment, but interestingly:

I cannot reproduce this, have you tried building this in a clean chroot?

Unable to update :/

That is probably a problem with the package you are using. It must provide, and probably conflict with, emacs, like for instance the emacs-git package is doing.

I have Emacs 29 installed and it seems like it doesn't recognize that because it also tried installing emacs 27.2 as well.

Please try to build in a clean chroot and see if the issue persist. neither guile 3 nor libffi7 are present on my system and I do not have any issues.

I found the source of the issue.

libffi7 should be declared as a dependency.
