Package is still broken. I see two solutions:
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wno-error=format-security" \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -Wno-error=format-security" \
73 de SQ5FOX
I just looked at the PKGBUILD file and it does not seem to have -Wno-error=format-security there?
Still getting the "error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]" message.
The issues should be resolved. Please let me know if it is working for you.
A quick fix is to modify PKGBUILD (add -Wnoerror part):
cmake \
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-Wno-error=format-security" \
-Wno-dev \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
../wsjtx
Latest build terminates with:

I will take a look at this as soon as I have a chance this weekend. Thanks!
Hi, looks like this package is no longer building on a clean environment, but it appears to work on an old Arch install.
[ 62%] Building Fortran object CMakeFiles/jt4sim.dir/lib/jt4sim.f90.o

Updated system today.
wsjtx: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_log_setup.so.1.86.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Looked back at history to try and determine what changes were made the last time boost library version was a problem. Could not deduce what to change to get back and running before update is available. Any help there would be appreciated for future reference.
It rebuilds fine, but gets this error when running.
EDIT: Seems it did not actually rebuild (I had used pikaur), rebuilding manually worked. Apologies for false alarm.

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].
