Would you like to adopt it? I haven't had much tiome to use this, or even know where most of mine are at. :/

Running makepkg results in: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables. My log tells me: unrecognized command-line option '-V' and terminates the compilation. Am I the only one with that issue or is this package just not compatible with the latest GCC-Version?

pilot-link-git installs without issue, no need to edit makepkg.conf nor use this package entry.

jpilot also accepts/works with this alternate listed above.

I got the same error as @Pulec, but was able to get it to work after a little bit of poking around.

Looking through the errors I realized that this is related to the default CFLAGS settings in /etc/makepkg.conf . Specifically, it looks like the ./configure script is trying to parse -W flags but then messing up.

So I edited /etc/makepkg.conf:

  • Comment out the existing CFLAGS= and CXXFLAGS= lines
  • Create new CFLAGS= and CXXFLAGS= lines based on the existing ones but with all flags starting with "-W" removed

The end result:

CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection"

CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS"

After that building and installing using yay worked fine.

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/pulec/.cache/aurutils/sync/pilot-link/src/pilot-link-0.12.5':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

the config.log -> https://0x0.st/o58W.log

I tried doing pilot-link from https://github.com/desrod/pilot-link, just a few switches:

source=("$pkgname::git+https://github.com/desrod/pilot-link.git" skip MD5sum ${pkgname}-${pkgver} shorten to just ${pkgname} and replace configure with autogen.sh

still the same error and config.log https://0x0.st/o58V.log

I guess I'll just use kde-pim.

Dear @parkerlreed:

The listed upstream URL is dead. The upstream maintainer's explanation seems to be at: https://github.com/desrod/pilot-link/issues/4#issuecomment-1078618716

The new upstream URL is https://github.com/desrod/pilot-link -- I wonder if you could please update the link on the AUR website?

unforgettableid commented on 2022-03-22 02:58 (UTC)

@dreieck: Compiler output messages about discarded const qualifiers can be tricky. But, if you're good at C programming, you can tackle them. Please take a look at: https://www.cs.odu.edu/~zeil/FAQs/Public/faq/#discards-qualifiers

If you come up with a patch, you may send it to @parkerlreed as well as upstream (to https://github.com/desrod/pilot-link).

@peterfab9845 I am seeing this too. If you have a proposed fix, feel free to share. I tried messing with configure.ac at that point but cannot get it building.
