@kinker31: switched to compatible libjpeg6-turbo.

libjpeg updated to 3.2.0-2, which apparently isn't flagged to be compatible with the library of the previous version? Either way, the package won't be able to install for most users.

"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:
