Ok @sinbud2004. I didn't know about that syntax. Thanks. But this package just compiles with s/libjpeg/libjpeg-turbo/g.

@tonitch : Have a look at this issue.

@Unix-Like Thanks for your question! Actually I don’t want to add -flto=auto— I need to remove it instead. The substitution ${CFLAGS/-flto=auto/} deletes the -flto=auto flag from existing compiler flags, not append it. Some packages fail to build with auto LTO enabled, so stripping this flag fixes compilation errors. My sed command is correct for this removal purpose.

Pardon me for the delay; I haven't been able to get to my PC lately. I just submitted the quick fix. I will improve the package further a bit later.

Are you sure that, @sinbud2004, you want to do this ?

 build() {
+    export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS/-flto=auto/}"
+    export CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS/-flto=auto/}"
+    export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS/-flto=auto/}"
   cd "$srcdir/$pkgbase-$pkgver"

It is the result of your second substitution of your sed command.

I think that what you want to do is:

 build() {
+    export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -flto=auto"
+    export CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -flto=auto"
+    export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -flto=auto"
   cd "$srcdir/$pkgbase-$pkgver"

Am I wrong? You just want to add the flag -flto=auto to those already existing env vars. So you're your sed command is wrong.

I have seen it is LTO, a compilation optimization, which could be a good thing to do indeed. I will test.

This version is more stable than xsane git, as xsane git has issues such as translation file failure and inability to connect scanning devices. But this version of PKGBUILD needs some adjustments: 

sed -i -e 's/libjpeg/libjpeg-turbo/g' -e '/^build() {/{n; s/^/    export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS\/-flto=auto\/}"\n    export CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS\/-flto=auto\/}"\n    export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS\/-flto=auto\/}"\n/}' PKGBUILD

Please consider the last comment from watanabe2004 as urgent. Quite a bunch uf users are affected not for failing to use xsane but struggeling to perform a system update. - Thanks!

This AUR currently blocks pacman from Updating unless the provided Patch below is applied to PKGBUILD beforehand, Please Commit the Patch into the Repo so it works without issue again.

I've just created an alternative repo for AUR xsane on Github. I've just cloned this repo and add pqatsi's patch. I have successfully installed xsane 0.999-9.
