@bariton, I don't know what problem you were having, but it shouldn't conflict with the system string.h because it is prefixed with srecord/. It builds fine for me (now with cstdint fixed) from a clean chroot. You might want to provide the error message you see without your patch.

There is a new issue with the include file srecord/string.h which collides with the system include file string.h. It can be fixed by using the following patch (which also contains the fix for the cstdint include issue reported earlier).

As mentioned by topongo the current version doesn't build. The following worked for me:

1) In the PKGBUILD add:

prepare() {
  cd ${pkgname}-${pkgver}-Source
  patch -Np1 -i ../../patch1.patch
}

2) Create a patch file patch1.patch next to the PKGBUILD file with the contents from topongo:

hi, i had this error building the package using the latest version of libc++

@bigboi69: base-devel is an implicit build dependency for all AUR packages. base-devel depends on groff.

I had an issue with dependencies on both an aur helper (yay) and cloning with makepkg -si

Looks like I had to add groff to the dependencies list after a clone

makedepends=('cmake' 'ghostscript' 'libgcrypt' 'doxygen' 'graphviz' 'psutils' 'git' 'groff')

Fixed the git makedepend. Thanks for the detailed report!

I was getting this error (see in configure.cmake how it does run the git command):

I used this patch to workaround:

But it still failed later:

      |            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So it seems git really is a makedeps requirement. (I expect the copyright years is wrong when makedeps=(git), and it is probably using the PKGBUILD's git repo for the years, but whatever...)

@xiretza: why? git is not mentioned in the documentation as a dependency and the PKGBUILD uses the packaged version, not the git version.

Requires makedepends=(git).
