1.7.8 seems to fix the building of the python bindings again.

For anyone else wondering: The only thing failing is (part of) the python interface.

If you don't need the python interface you can just remove/comment out line 32 or so where it is enabled.

Here is working PKGBUILD for 1.7.6

The latest version (1.7.7) won't compile because it has an unfixed error.

@DearVolt please update to 1.7.6

@amy I am working on the upgrade to 1.7.0. Will hopefully be done soon.

anyone working on updating this to 1.6.9?

The PKGBUILD needs to have spaces when setting the configure options, like OPTIONS+=" --enable-compact-fsts". Otherwise it will merge all options as a single argument to configure and none of them will be actually applied.

Kilian, take over?

Made a PKGBUILD for 1.6.2 which works for me. https://pastebin.com/QRWBJ1v1
I have not checked for dependencies that are installed on my system but not specified in the PKGBUILD.

Please update it to 1.6.2

Latest version (1.6.1) doesn't compile for me with gcc. I had to use clang. The PKGBUILD I made and used:

EDIT: use "http://www.openfst.org/twiki/pub/FST/FstDownload/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz" instead for the url. "http://www.openfst.org/twiki/bin/viewfile/FST/FstDownload/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz;rev=${pkgrel}" has a different checksum for some reason.
