The PKGBUILD build section currently contains... make CFLAGS+="${CFLAGS} -DBUILD_UNTESTED_NEDIT" linux docs

but I cannot find a reason why those extra CFLAGS are needed when looking at the docs in the source?

Changing the make line to... make linux docs

as described in the source docs, builds the package as expected.

it seems gcc 15 is much stricter on function prototypes. I did get it to build once editing line 248 in getfiles.c and adding (Widget, XtPointer) as the function parameters, but after posting instructions here, I could not replicate a successful build. Additional errors showed up in menu.c. I hope the package maintainer can take a look.

There seem to be some good hints in the gentoo bugzilla page here:

Also very likely don't need a makedepnds on a separate AUR pkgbuild for pod2man as is part of the perlpackage

$ which pod2man
/usr/bin/core_perl/pod2man

$ pkgfile /usr/bin/core_perl/pod2man
core/perl
