"Configure" is normally run before "make", in a single thread, to setup makefiles. The reason of the build errors was that "configure" here runs inside "make", which runs multiple threads, causing build race-conditions.

Apologies for how long it took, but the current PKGBUILD does now work for me without any pesky tampering or re-running makepkg or anything like that. Thank you!

@frankspace: for me it is very difficult to reproduce any build error.

You could try adding/replacing options=(!buildflags !makeflags) in PKGBUILD, which probably will also make no difference. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Makepkg#Makepkg_fails,_but_make_succeeds

Adding this gets very close to running make manually. With echo $VARIABLE in PKGBUILD and on the command line you can print the build and make values listed in /etc/makepkg.conf and check the difference.

Thank you! So, that's wild. Turns out, on my box, options=(!buildflags) doesn't make any noticable difference (I tested this outside a chroot, so YMMV) -- but I have to run makepkg three times in a row (without tampering with the src and pkg folders) before compilation succeeds all the way through. I once again am not clever enough to have any idea why, but I suspect the build flags are not actually the issue one way or the other.

@frankspace:

That with-GTK warning is always there.

Remove the options=(!buildflags) line from PKGBUILD and try again (without any old build files). This will build with the build flags from /etc/makepkg.conf. When running make manually, it won't build with those flags.

The build only sometimes fails. Adding options=(!buildflags) seemed to fix it. But could eventually, after trying several times, produce a build error in an up-to-date clean chroot build environment. Will remove options=(!buildflags) again.

Compilation fails for me, repeatedly telling me configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-GTK. I've tried this both in a clean chroot and not. Blindly removing "CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=--with-GTK" from the Makefile seemingly solves that issue, but compilation nevertheless terminates, just saying ERROR: A failure occurred in build().. The only hint I can find in the output thereafter is that midway there, I get make: *** [Makefile:170: lib/docEdit.a] Error 2 and make: *** [Makefile:198: lib/utilPs.a] Error 2. I am not clever enough to have any idea where to start looking for the source of the problem. Inexplicably, when I just uncompress the source and run make manually, compilation succeeds just fine.

Build succeeds when adding options=(!buildflags) to PGKBUILD.

This package doesn't build. Fails here: 

Choosing GTK ...
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating makefile
config.status: creating tedConfig.h
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: ted

@es_18: Updated to use https, in addition to some fixes/cleanups.

es_18 commented on 2018-06-14 21:43 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be more secure to use http rather than https for the sources? The server accepts https as well.

@ohreally: Thanks. Added ghostscript.

ohreally commented on 2017-03-02 16:17 (UTC)

I think ghostscript should be added to the dependency list. If ghostscript is not installed, Ted cannot save as PDF (but PDF is still in the list of supported filetypes in the 'Save As' dialog).

@trialuser: Added lsb-release. For me the build did not fail, it only gave a warning.

trialuser commented on 2016-01-20 04:39 (UTC)

Fails to build for me unless lsb-release is installed.

@blippy: The freetype include patch is not needed anymore. Thanks. Fixed. The git clone URL is correct. It is for downloading sources, not for viewing sources in a web browser.

I also obtained the fterrdef.h, as reported by anamesa on 2014-02-16. However, I was able to build Ted 2.23 from sources at: http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/editors/ted/ted-2.23.src.tar.gz It seems that the prepare() statement, which seds out "freetype" from the include statements, is actually unnecessary, and is causing the problem. I also notice that https://aur.archlinux.org/ted.git points to "Page not found".

haawda commented on 2015-02-15 00:58 (UTC)

I had to add options=('!makeflags') to the PKGBUILD to compile this. Probably it was a race condition on my system, but I wanted to tell anyone.

anamesa commented on 2014-02-21 20:25 (UTC)

@willemw: Now it compiles ok. thanks.

willemw commented on 2014-02-16 14:00 (UTC)

@anamesa: Thanks. Fixed.
