Thanks for the report, fixed in 0.1.14.

The systemd user service file that gets installed points to ExecStart=%h/.cargo/bin/whisrsd right now, so it fails when starting. It should point to /usr/bin/whisrd instead.

Thanks for the report, just pushed a fix. Went with options=('!lto') instead of stripping flags in build(): it's the canonical fix per makepkg.conf(5), and it covers LDFLAGS too (which lto injects -flto=auto into alongside CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS)

Build fails when 'lto' is enabled in OPTIONS in /etc/makepkg.conf (which is the current Arch Linux default). The -flto=auto flag gets picked up by ring's build script and cmake when building whisper.cpp, producing LTO object files that can't be linked against Rust.

Fix: add the following to build() in the PKGBUILD:

export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS/-flto=auto/}"
export CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS/-flto=auto/}"
