cmakethose lines
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wno-error=format-security" \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -Wno-error=format-security" \

If you cannot replicate issue maybe your system have non default makepkg.conf..
https://rfc.archlinux.page/0003-buildflags/
Default makepkg.conf will fail. You PKGBUILD need to override this flag or create patch for upstream that will fix issue not hide it.

Build still fails..

I figured out what happened. Yay didn't do a "git pull" on its cached copy of the repo. All good here.

Can you confirm that your PKGBUILD matches the AUR version?

Still not compiling on my system:

The other weird part is that the error appeared also on my clean environments under Docker and WSL. The issue is now fixed so thank you very much :)
KF5U commented on 2026-04-21 15:39 (UTC)
Ok, I have added the workaround for now. I will investigate possible upstream PR as I have time. Thanks for your comments. Please let me know if it is working for you now.
KF5U commented on 2026-04-21 15:06 (UTC)
Weird because the build builds fine in my clean environment. Give me a few and I will dig further into it.

Note on qt5-websockets
Arch has removed qt5-websockets from the official repositories; it now exists only as an AUR package. yay/paru users are unaffected — the dependency resolves automatically. If you build with plain makepkg -s, install qt5-websockets from the AUR first.
If you don't specifically need Qt5, wsjtx-improved-qt6 (and its -al-qt6 / -widescreen-qt6 variants) build against Qt6, where every dependency is still in [extra].
