The pkver() function also needs to be corrected to pkgver() (it is missing the 'g') and updated. This might also mean changing the epoch, since 1.5 is smaller than 20160223.

pkgver(){
  cd "$srcdir/$_gitname"
  git describe --tags --long | sed -E 's/v//;s/([^-]*-g)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}

Looks like we'll need a call to external/node/install-node.sh.

EDIT: Adding (cd .. && external/node/install-node.sh) before the other two similar lines does the trick.

@hwkiller: I can confirm that this works changing the references to gcc-6/gcc6/g++-6, but fails with the existing PKGBUILD with gcc-5 references. (I haven't tested gcc7.)

I'm reporting it here, as I've now reproduced this across a couple of systems. Would it be possible to update the PKGBUILD to gcc6?

@hwkiller sorry I didn't see your comment! There is an issue on the shiny-server github about compilation under Arch : https://github.com/rstudio/shiny-server/issues/207 Apparently it's supposed to be fixed, but building fails for now (when trying to recompile the npm modules included in shiny-server), with gcc7.

Ah, it seems to be due to the CFLAGS. The newest arch linux makepkg.conf has -fno-plt in the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. I don't have that switch currently. For the time being, you can temporarily remove that from your CFLAGS. Could also try the gcc-6 option; I haven't tested that yet. If you want to, just change anything that references gcc-5 to gcc-6.

@hwkiller here is the error message:==> Starting build()... -- The C compiler identification is GNU 5.4.0 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 5.4.0 -- Check for working C compiler: /bin/gcc-5 -- Check for working C compiler: /bin/gcc-5 -- broken CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:51 (message): The C compiler "/bin/gcc-5" is not able to compile a simple test program.

I'm not sure why it is not working for you. I just re-created my package and it seems to compile and package up just fine?

The shiny package could not be installed. @marekpetrik, where part have you modified to make it work?

The package does not compile for me. Some of the command line arguments appear to be incompatible with gcc-5. It does not compile with gcc-7 either. But compiles and installs fine with gcc-6. It also seems to be running fine.
